    Likely Heater Core leak

    I thought about using Bars Leaks product. The reviews cover the spectrum. Some says it works, some say it just clogs up the rest of the cooling system. Any experience from anybody here?

    Likely Heater Core leak

    I think my 02-V6-Manual LS has got a heater core leak. It's got 99,800 miles. Last time I had the radiator fluid changed was probably 5-6 years ago. The car is rarely driven anymore. Around a month ago, I get in the car to take it for a short drive and notice a film on the windshield...

    2002 LS-V6-Manual Thinking of Selling

    The only other 2002 5spd I can find for sale nationwide is in Illinois--listed for $6900, with the same mileage. That seems high. So let's start with $4,700.

    2002 LS-V6-Manual Thinking of Selling

    I'm thinking of selling my LS. Based on research I did after I bought it in January 2004, it is the last manual to roll off the assembly line. My understanding is that it was driven by a Ford Exec for one year then put up for auction. Details: 96K miles. Engine runs perfectly. All...

    02 LS-V6, 5sp Manual. Needs new Shocks

    Here's the tag from the car. Tell me what you can about the car. I figure it's got to be one of the last manual LS's built in black since it's build date is 9/02. Thanks,

    02 LS-V6, 5sp Manual. Needs new Shocks

    Driving my car for awhile with the impression that the tires are bouncing around on the highway when they hit any moderate bumps. Still on the original shocks--car has 87K miles. Rockauto shows Motorcfraft struts/shocks: $125 for fronts, $42 for the rears. They also show Sachs- Super...

    02 LS-5spd Clutch feels like its slipping

    Ok, I just went out and drove the car again to pay closer attention to what's going on. Accelerating thru the gears, it feels normal as long as I don't push it too hard. Accelerating in 1st or 2nd with a lot of throttle, I get uneven acceleration and shaking, but I don't see the engine revving...

    02 LS-5spd Clutch feels like its slipping

    Car has 83K miles. Original clutch. I can feel the slipping when I goose it in 1st or 2nd gear. Rockauto has a Sachs friction disk for $87 or two clutch kits(Exedy $263, Sachs $444). The Exedy kit has a note that says a new flywheel needs to be installed. Any opinions on which way...

    Damage done to my LS after being repaired and parked in lot

    The sticker inside my driver's side door has a date of 9/02. The "story" I got from the Ford dealer that sold me that car in Jan 2004 is that a Ford Exec requested one of the last LS/5spd/black cars that came off the line. He drove it for one year. Then it was offered for sale as a used car...

    Damage done to my LS after being repaired and parked in lot

    Got my LS back yesterday. I told the body shop to keep it as long as they needed to get it right. After telling me it would be ready Monday, they called and asked for one more day; they weren't satisfied with some of the clearcoat on the hood. So back it went into the paint booth. I have to...

    Damage done to my LS after being repaired and parked in lot

    I'll leave the repair shop name out of this discussion for now. That could change if they start playing games with me. For example, initial indications were that they would not provide a rental car while the repairs are being made. That was before I saw the pictures. I'll be talking to them...

    Damage done to my LS after being repaired and parked in lot

    So I had to take my 02 LS back to a repair shop in Rockville, MD for a do-over for some work performed several weeks ago. 1st do-over was an adjustment of the front drivers window after being repaired for a broken regulator; it wasn't shutting all the way. 2nd do-over was for a broken...

    02 LS Drivers Side Window, Froze shut then Bamm-something breaks inside

    Last week during the cold snap on the East Coast my drivers side window was "frozen"; wouldn't budge when I tried to lower it. Let it warm up, then everything was fine. Same thing happened this morning, except this time when I went to lower it, something broke on the inside. The window is...
