curious what you used to fix it with?

yeah you need to check the springs .The shocks will not change the height of the car. You can get the thicker adjusters on several sites. I have bought them and they are the same size as the oem when new. The lowering ones shown will work fine to put the car at stock height if again the front...

and place an old towel on top of the door to the unit to catch that rain when you open the trunk. Otherwise it will run right down the corner of the trunk and into the module. It will usually dry but if you go to put the top down before it does it will fry the module. checking the towel from...

I always like " when you have your own tools ,people think you know what you are doing". Many people don't even have a metric adjustable but like to give other advise like they know everything.. hahahha

the maserati site has way more members on it than does this site. actually just about double. They also work on their cars and yes some have money many are no more wealthy than many on here. the set of tools are special to install the camshaft drive chains and yes they are costly. Just like a...

not an oil expert .I just know that MB and BMW along with Caddy all require the oil to be changed ones a year even if low mileage. I am sure they like to sell oil but it seems they all say to replace every year because once exposed to the elements the oil will break down. Driven or not. Before...

I have to agree with Gord. If they claim you need a harness then you have a failed motor. The harness is hard to damage. it can get wet and corrode but its like 20 hours to install the whole thing and if its just the connectors they can be cleaned. Many years ago at a BMW store In Tampa I...

most of these cars get oil changed due to age of oil and not mileage. I dont think the onboard takes that into consideration. 15,000 miles or one year. Most run out of time before mileage.

I remember those days. we had a race car with an aircraft battery. First gel cell I ever saw. Had a special charger. I remember the first optima demo where the salesman turned it upside down. cost was like you said 99$ when a regular battery was 60 so it was not that much more.

I agree .Dealers ells parts I doubt highly they have a clue what you really need and just listed a bunch of parts that are part of the roof and hope one gets you repaired. when you say stuck in the up position. do you mean half open ? what do you call up and how do you get it to move?

you are good to go on the vent as the battery is already mounted on the outside. Bmw and cars with the battery mounted inside the trunk or under the passenger seat need to be properly vented. Several people like the Optima battery. Look at the posts about it . You can find other poste hear...

there are a few hundred if not thousand Allante owners who would disagree with you > the car was a caddilac with an Italian body. People that have them really like them for the most part expensive and hard to get parts for but a guy in California keeps them going at Cadillac KING. he ships...

totally ruined jag. the ugliest I have ever seen I had to go and search it out They call it Frankenjag and 99.9% of articles call it the most vulgar thing they have ever seen done to a jag. We may have to do this with our cars but I hope someone does a better job and tries to improve it instead...

If anyone considers east coast for parts contact me to be informed before hand Many members on here have had experiences with them. Elite is very fair and knows the cars well he is allantesrr on ebay. J And J auto parts in Ohio are also honest in what they sell. these sellers...

other than oil, brakes are the cheapest thing you can replace on the car. They "BREAK" down over a period of time .All brake companies will tell you instead of mileage look for number of heat cycles. They get brittle and rotors get glazed. pads may look new but they are not. If the brakes on a...

I will take newer that has been used over old that has sat a lot almost every time unless you are looking at an investment car. 04 and 05 will cost you almost double on maintenance items that do go bad. if you can do the work yourself then that's great. Neither car will be worth more in 3...

that's sort of a loaded question. Like how many pieces of chicken to feed a family of 4 HAHA 30-40,000 if you are not an aggressive driver.

Yeah I am thinking 10-12 for the 08. Most people will run from a car with that miles but the 08 is a good car. The suspension modules fail on the 04 and 05 and they are 1500 the cruise module is 500 they do not fail on the 06-08 and when they do there are plenty of them 06-09 parts interchange...

how does the side marker in the taillight shine thru the wrap? that would fail inspection in our state .It looks good though. I would wrap it in car color. I assume you are hiding the broken cracked top of the lights ? We have fixed a few with a 3m red wrap that is almost the same color of the...

driving a pink car takes nerve I had a mary kay pink mustang in 1968. It was red when I got it and I painted it white .IN a few weeks the red started to bleed thru and the car turned to Pink. The song Mustang Sally was around and being I was a 6"4 Male I got stuck with long tall pink sally...
