    Plug and PLAY

    if you are talking about the engine then no. The mass air flow an about 1/2 a dozen other items have changed .you would need to use your old parts or use the ecm from the newer car but I doubt that could be programmed to work with your earlier engine. It is not a lot of work to change over all...

    Battery drain on my 2005 XLR

    I think others on here have reported it the electronic key that seems to run all the time waiting for you to approach with the key fob. The computers cycle on and off a lot. Everyone has the problem and the solution seems to be best battery you can get plus a tender if you don't start the car...

    Subject Matter Expert(s) Needed

    In the united states diminished value is rather easy to prove. You just get bids on the car as is and then you supply proof of what the car was selling for before the damage. Once you start repairs then it gets much harder. if the paint does not match then that's a problem between you and the...

Not a garbage but he digs out special sand for high strength concrete then fills the hole with building materials etc. There is always a semi truck there loaded with paper goods. Toilet paper, towels ,diapers, wipes everything this company...

    VIN NUMBER XLR

    The one you point out is very obvious and everyone in the business knows of its location. If he is having a problem and the person doing the inspection has not found that one then he either has a problem car or the rail has been replaced. That is why every state in the USA requires that if that...

    VIN NUMBER XLR

    In the USA knowledge of the "hidden" vin number and posting it can send you to jail. I did not say anything about the factory VIN number. Obviously it is on the cowl. it is in the glove box it is on the rear cover in the trunk with all the production codes It is on a label on every body part on...

    funny thing. I found myself wiping up a little spill wit hone of my really nice bat towels because I did not want to waste the T.P. I have not run across anything In my area that is outrageous in price but I have seen a lot of places out of things you would never suspect. I am not a picky eater...

    VIN NUMBER XLR

    those are locations that are only known to law enforcement .There is a reason they hide them. If your car has been inspected, and I looked at the import laws in France a title and vin verification is all that is needed to register a car. Your wanting to know the hidden numbers does not add...

    It can be done and has been but the time if you had the motor for free and amount of work makes it easier and cheaper to just buy a v.

    Still looking

    going to have to agree with Z1. With something like 60% already in default on auto loans before this started the market will be flooded with cars. As in most cases there will be no real winners. There will be losers and those that do not loose as much. storage lots and the repo man will be busy...

    Must read: Replacing trunk lid struts

    how much travel did that allow? I tried that but strong arm struts are about 1/4 to 3/8 longer than stock so they stay preloaded. My tool mostly let you hold the strut and snap it in on the drivers side a little easier than trying to do it manually. A photo of the location may help some see...
