    New Member - 2009 Cadillac XLR

    Welcome to the forum. Hope you get your problems sorted and I would not be surprised if many of them are battery related. As per the cruise control, the only trouble I ever had with mine was due to a juicy bug splattering on the lense panel in front of it. It had translucent guts (and no body...

    ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST! - It is Salvage now!

    I am posting this for a friend and forum member Greg aka: Tikiman100, as he has been having trouble posting here. I am hoping his loss will benefit some forum members looking for parts etc. On Friday March 27 Greg he went out on a errand in his 2007 XLR-V and had a horrible encounter with...

    What did you do to / with your XLR today?

    Haha! I like your style Gord and especially your 'subject matter'. Wondering if you have curly hair now after your experiment with that knife and the receptacle? uShip sounds like an interesting option, I will have to check into that, thanks. I really want to pick up the engine myself so I...

    What did you do to / with your XLR today?

    There certainly is lots to do on the car but 'installing the turbo' is one of those jobs that can NOT be done. That is because we took the engine to D&D Aluminum V8 in Michigan before we drove to Florida. The rebuild was competed 2 weeks ago: he knew in the outset that we would not pick it up...

    What did you do to / with your XLR today?

    You must have had a 63 as they did not make 64 Olds Turbo cars. If in fact, if it was a 64 then someone put a 1962 or 1963 215 aluminum V8 turbo engine in it. (or was the turbo mounted to a cast iron block?) If it had the Jetfire trim/logos etc it had to be a 63 as the bodies were different...

    What did you do to / with your XLR today?

    Pretend I posted this Friday! So I did not have a chance to post this Friday March 27th for obvious reasons which I explain. Steve & I 'winter' in Port Charlotte, Florida and usually stay until the end of April. However, being we are Canadians and the uncertain times with CV19 we decided to...

    End of my XLR?

    I am respectfully asking all XLR owners who read this to please chime in if you have the same wonderful experience as I personally do with my XLR. Nobody ever sits on this forum to report how flawless their car is - they only post when they have problems. Rocket 83402 Please do not despair...

    Kenwood DNX893S in the XLR

    No I don't but most 'car dealers' do not do the work on the audio systems, they work with a local Automotive Audio specialty shop so ask the service writers at your nearest Cadillac dealer who they use, then go talk to them and see if you like them etc. At least that shop should know about the...

    Why a Cadillac XLR brakelight can cost more than a used Corolla

    Good 'exposure' article. This should be sent to every 'inbox' at GM Cadillac division and demand they release the manufacturer rights! Why A Cadillac XLR Brake Light Can Cost More Than A Used Corolla

    New Headlight 3D Printing Material

    Well. As I see it: there is someone who is working on coming up with a solution to our parts/headlight problem and others asking questions and wanting answers. Not sure about an 'unproductive' thread. From what i understand, you just do not 'toss an item' in front of a scanner and ask a...

    2007 XLR V

    Welcome to the forum. Love your 'sideways' comment on the Pantera: sounds like fun to me! I take it your 'lights' are different from stock on you car?: I could not seem to find any photos of your car. However: if your car has 'different from stock' parts on it, that is just fine. Yes, I...

    Help! PLATINUM EDITION HOOD PART NUMBER

    Just in case there is still any confusion: ALL 2009 'base model' cars are called Platinum models: you could not purchase any other way. 2009 base models ALSO happen to have the V hood with the raised center section. However the hood itself is not called a Platinum hood. It is the V model...

    it will be like 'New Car Day'

    Hey y'all, I have not been on the forum much this past summer. Some of you may had seen my post that I had to leave my XLR in Florida for the summer. Hubby Steve had fast advancing cataracts and took himself off the road in early March so when it was time to drive home we only had one driver...
