The thing with this type of car is that even if you sell them at $1000 there's not that much interest in buying them. Only a car person that knows how underrated this car will jump into it.. I recently got a 2008 Mazda 3 which i purchased cheap (got in a minor rear collision and I finally able...

I just bought a junkyard replacement, test it out and works fine. Compared with other cars where you simply pull out a couple screws and pull the fan assembly out, the Continental is a real bitch to work with. The whole radiator must be removed along with the fan. I tried removing the fan by...

here's the result, one of the fan motor locked up and fried the connector. I tried manually rotating one of the fan and it's locked up real hard. The other one is freewheeling smooth. Time for a new set of fan.. and a reminder with this car so old a drive through on a hot day is not a good thing...

I was on a drive through window this weekend and the queue was very long, as I approached the window I noticed that my temp is slowly creeping up (normally the needle is at the center of "O" in the NORMAL label) By the time I'm done it's almost at the edge of the NORMAL range and I have to turn...

so you went into a shop with no overheating issues and now they found out you have to replace the head gaskets.. sounds fishy to me..

K&N cold air intake and/or filters are just a waste of money. stick with your stock setup and paper filter. I have been using the paper filter for more than 10yrs and haven't replaced it yet (I guess replaced it at 2006) I've tried using a cold air intake on my lincoln ls just because I'm...

As long as it's not overheating I'm happy with the original radiator, most of the new ones are junk anyway and the OEM is really pricey. Other factor could be the fan too since the temp goes down when I'm on the freeway, it's in park/idle that it creeps up. The only thing not original on the...

It does go down to 104c which is the average coolant temp when running at the highway. At 109c the fan kicks in at idle trying to maintain it a 104c. I'm thinking it should be lower but for a 19yr (almost 20yrs) with stock cooling system it will be not that efficient anymore. It's kind of hard...

monitored the transmission temp today and at outdoor temp of 92F, the coolant reached the max of 228F and transmission temp stayed at 188F.

the front is not an air suspension so there's really no difference converting it to a passive shock, you just don't have the option to adjust the firmness of the steering. just disconnect the wiring and replace with a 3ohm load resistor and put in any brand of struts (I prefer belsteins over...

it's not that bad, you might probably have a leaking valve cover gasket too if it's soaking in oil. The rear plugs are a challenge because of the tight space but it's doable. Spark Plug Removal

I noticed transmission fluid leaking on the stock radiator transmission cooler. The radiator still is good on the coolant side and I don't want to replace it with aftermarket (they all suck but the OEM is pricey) Since I don't want to spend that much on this car I just decided to buy a hayden...

I used the below solar charger for my Navigator (parked outdoors), it's convenient because I just plug it in the cigarette lighter plug and stick the panel inside the windshield. Just unplug prior to starting the car. Coleman Amorphous Solar Panel Battery Maintainer — 2.5 Watts, Model# 58016 |...

just do a drop and fill, no flush everything is Mercon V now.

just to let you know that this Navigator has the same engine as our Lincoln Continental (Intech 32v v8) It doesn't have the spark plug issue with the Triton V8 starting at 2004.

I got the dvd replaced with a used one from a 2004 expedition, the plug doesn't match with 2003. I have to go back to the junk yards and get the plug from the expedition and use that to create a 16 to 20 adapter. It's just matching all the wires and discarding the rest of the connections (they...

egr error code is fixed, turns out that the hoses are cross wired and they are not the correct size for the HI line. 3 dpfe sensors from the junkyard and all of them are still causing the p0401 code. It turns out the previous shop didn't return the hose correctly (and I use it for reference)...

finally fixed the door ajar issues, all of my doors but the driver side have broken switches. the switches are rusted, stuck and split when I wiggled them. It's made of metal and the new ones were all plastic (lesson learned) it fixed my dome light staying on when closing and locking the...

so this weekend I finally got rid of my air suspension, all of them. At first the replacement rear height sensor fixed the "suspension error" issue and it leveled the rear but I noticed the front is still leaning slightly. After 3 days, the rear sag terribly and the front has a noticeable lean...
