    changing out front directional parking light.

    Bill its tight but you can turn the wheel all the way in either direction and have a little more room. You have to take the front clips and screws out of the inner liner at the front so it drops back enough to remove the three 10mm that are straight up. Then you can remove the headlight and...

    2004 xlr engine problems

    Well clearing codes is just like unplugging a computer. It does not fix anything. its just a start over.For it to go in limp mode it should set a hard code. That may take a better scanner than you have to read it in the system. If using a generic code reader what is the code thats coming up.

    Show Us Your XLR

    Photobucket was a storage site for photos so that people could not reprint them without permission. They went away several years ago. So if you are looking at old posts photos may be expired and no longer available. Its the same on all forums

    radiator surge tank float doesn't float

    Thats a bypass but not recommended. As these cars only get damage to the engineering nes when they are run hot, watching cooling level is very important. Tgey also can develop acsmall keak in the return hose that is hardly seen and over time will loose enough coolant to run hot.

    Help! Power steering

    The pumps do fail i have new oem ones for sale . But even when they fail the car should not be that hard to steer. The rack and pinion has a power assist built in.

    Nice to join the group

    Did you check the fluid? That low of miles id assume not driven often. Id start with trunk struts. Does the trunk open ok by itself? Once up if you pull it down a little , will it stay. How far did you get with the top before you stopped.
