    What can it be?

    I've used a backpack blower on my motorcycles for years. What a time saver. I bought a ryobi 18v from Home Depot about two years ago. Get two batteries,charger for like 50 bucks. No cords,more than powerful enough and can do the leaves too. Before using the blower it was impossible to get water...

    Trim height adjustment bolt replacement

    The rear height adjustment bolts are in the same exact location on the spring as the front ones are. It's the same concept just at the rear of the vehicle. If you put your jack under the lower control arm and jack up just the corner that your working on at that time and leave the other three...

    05 XLR battery went dead now car is crazy...

    The insurance company is definitely wrong by not paying out. I thought that's what insurance is for "the what if"! :dunno: But sitting down thinking about it I have some problems. And believe me I am no expert! Every panel on the car is composite most likely not very conductive. Tires insulate...

    05 XLR battery went dead now car is crazy...

    Ive been following this thread since it happened. I have acouple questions. How long did you own the car before this problem occurred? Was everything functional before this incident? Seems very odd that all the modules are smoked. I would think they can see what caused the shorts by tearing...

    HRE 543R: Testing clearances on 2007 XLR

    The fender vents do not require any cutting to the fender. They have been talked about before and members putting them on. The reason for them is to cover a blemish in the fenders themselves. If you look very carefully on any model about a inch or two forward of the door/fender gap there's a...

    new (to me) 05 XLR- won't start.

    First thing they didn't use alpine white till I think 08 so might wanna check into that. You bought a car without running or being able to get in it while it was infront of you? Hope you got it for a steal. How did they tow it not being able to put in neutral,how did you get in the car without...

    Top Motor Overheated

    Well you'll definately need to find the source of the water. Maybe dry out the area completely throw 10 pounds of rice in there for about a week. :dunno: Theirs a lot of electronics in that compartment the last place you wanna see water. I wouldn't energize anything in the car,disconnect the...

    Need Headlight, Drivers side

    If anyone has a defective headlight that would donate to the cause would be much appreciated. My idea is to try and separate the lens to see about altering the crazed lens. My headlights are perfect so I don't wanna tamper with. I would like to smoke out the reflectors in mine, but I would...

    Help: Trunk does not work after battery died

    Most efficient way to diagnose top or trunk problem is a tech2. It will show if sensors are working correctly which if one does read right it will not complete the cycle. The trunk alone I believe doesn't have any sensors? When manually closing the trunk,when you applied pressure down to close...

    Top Motor Overheated

    First question would be does the trunk work? Next if it doesn't I would manually raise trunk to check storage area behind drivers rear wheel in trunk area where pump is located. Hopefully it hasn't got wet or standing water in compartment. Also check the hydraulic fluid level and condition...

    Broken Console Cover

    I have a needle sized dent in my aluminum trim piece next to the traction control switch. It's annoyed me from day one. " how did they even do that" I think. I've seen it on many that I've looked at. My question is with that console you think you can try and rub one of the dents out from the...

    New Member--- RICK

    Congrats on your purchase hope she treats you good. The v model actually comes with a 19x8.5 and they work great. I actually have my stock base model wheels. If you or anyone is interested I have the seven spoke rims with the original run-flats along with sensors still mounted and avaliable. The...

    Headers & Cats installed

    Another thing to think about is will it actually get you positive results? Headers would help with moving the air out " less restrictive usually larger too". Well going to much on the exhaust and not having the heads,and intake to compliment it could make your car slower. You need backpressure...
