    Help! Need advice on 2008 XLR-V

    Congrats, sounds like you have a car worth looking at. Check the top operation, and also check the area in the left rear of the trunk, under the carpet. There is a receptacle with two computers and the top pump, check for signs of standing water in there. Bruce

    Good idea. Check a thread I started 2 years ago on this, plus several others have threads on the subject. Mine took two computers and the pump. Bruce

    Did they run all the diagnostics to figure that out, or just guess at it? That pump is expensive! I just replaced mine, I think the part alone at retail was over 2 grand. Bruce

    2005 Wood Dash

    If you are adventurous, water transfer printing looks really amazing. You have to remove the parts you want done, but the results are really good. Look into it, they do woods, metals, carbon fiber, etc. Bruce

    reasonable expectations for service at Cadillac Dealer

    Not unrealistic expectations. My Chevy dealer (who also services my XLR, they are that good) goes out of their way to please me. But the Service Writers are not always on the same page. It would seem pretty basic to write up a 32 point (or whatever it is) safety inspection, LOF, check and clear...

    top 5 "must do" upgrades/fixes for the XLR
