    Volant CAI for XLR-V

    Interesting Standby-V. I just had my first smog check on my XLR in Dec. 2012 but I took off my Volant CAI and replaced it with the stock intake system and took it to my guy, that has done all my vehicles since 1985. At first just stood there in front of the XLR with his month opened at then...

    Seat switch panel replacement

    The switch holder comes with the panel but NO SWITCHES. All the switches just snap out of the old unit but before you take out the main seat switch and the seat back switch, you have to remove their knobs. Just gently pry them off with a flat blade screw driver. They just pop loose. As for...

    Seat switch panel replacement

    No, the metal bracket did not come with the switch panel and I do not think yours is damaged but it's easy to check it out. Just take a flash light and gently pull the top of the switch panel toward you, away from the side of the seat and you'll see it. There are only 2 mounting points at the...

    Larger Tires on a 2004 XLR

    k9husker, I run the Michlin P255/45 zr18 99w on my front which are a wider thread but smaller diameter than the stock P235/50 zr18 97w on the rear. The front tires ARE NOT RUN FLATS but they bulge out wider than the Chrome 7 Spoke rims which help eliminate Curb Rash and give me a little shorter...

    Seat switch panel replacement

    You're welcome and by the way, I received my switch panel yesterday afternoon and like Cubby said, "It does have the switch holder inside." Not getting much moving done here in 'Not So Sunny California', it's been raining for several days! By the way, there's a bare metal bracket attached to...

    Seat switch panel replacement

    Thanks Cubby, that's good news.:worship: Everytime I work with Super Glue, I end up glueing my finger together.:pat: Now that I live alone, I have to make sure I've got some MEK to soak my fingers in to counter-act the glue ASAP.:lol: Thanks again,

    Seat switch panel replacement

    Sorry GD, I should have posted the part # that I got from Customer Service. You can get the part from www.gmpartsdirect.com. My part # is: 88991572 and this is for the Shale (light tan) interior of my XLR. If you have the darker interior, I would strongly suggest you contact...

    The new Range Rover Evoque.............wait just a minute!

    I remember back in the 70s, someone at a GM Dealership told me the Range Rover used Buick engines. Do you think there is some connection between GM and Range Rover?

    big day for my XLR

    CV, when changing the battery, be sure you connect a 12vdc source to the ends of the battery cables, not the battery terminal ends, or you'll lose your personal settings. It doesn't have to be a high power source, 1 Amp. should be enough. I use an Emergency Power source I started carring in my...

    Seat switch panel replacement

    GD, no you do not have to take the seat out to replace the (CHEAP) PLASTIC SWITCH PANEL although the service manual suggests it. I have owned several Caddies in my years, starting with a 1951 Coupe De Ville CONVERTIBLE to a 1978 Fleetwood De Elagance and those all had metal switch panel for the...

    Daily Chat

    My 'Curb Alert' died on me last week! I went out in the garage and heard a steady beep and opened the door and found out it was the 'Curb Alert'! While I was getting under the driver's side dash to get to it, I guess I applied to mush pressure on the seat switch control bracket and am now...

    Oil leak survey

    Hey Steven, I don't think you'll like the Tesla! I drove one and talk of lack of comfort, NONE AT ALL! My TF 1500 MGs were more comfortable than the Telsa and for the money, my next car is going to be a Cadillac ELR!

    Sagging Passenger Side Window

    I don't think your writing is any worse than mine or lots of others on this wonderfull forum. Glad I was able to help, just one more thing, check your battery because when I had that same problem my battery had to be replaced within 3 months. If it is your battery, the next problems that crops...

    Both Lift Cylinders for Hood Shocks Failed?

    Mark, I think cold weather has a lot of effect on these shocks. I've noticed that my hood will stay up in my garage but if I leave it out over night in this cold weather, it won't stay up until it gets warmer or after it's been back in the garage for several hours. I have the same problem with...

    84 year old veteran sniper

    Thank you for the confidence but those rifles you don't want to use in a crowd. One shoot from either one of them would go through about 5 people. That's why I don't carry them around the country. ;-) ;-) For crowd situations, I'd prefer my lever action 45-70. It's only effective up to 50 yards...
