    Original XLR Radio

    Ian, I don't consider my XLR to be an old car. Have a look at my pictures in my garage. For me is it worth spending the money based on the amount of time I use the car and I am not so sure about that. I also have concerns about who would do the work for me. Nothing would be worse that having...

    Help! Interior Passenger Door opening switch only works sometimes?

    Double D, I see this is your first post and not knowing how long you have owned your car and what repairs or maintenance you have done the first thing I would do is replace the battery. Get a battery tender and when you are not driving your car have the tender on. It is real important that you...
