    Help! Dilemma - What would you do ?

    I could no longer find matching sets of run flats for the V. I have run same as rear on all four corners for a while. I would occasionally get an error but not often. I have been running non-run flats for years now in original sizes without issue.

    V’s have a vacuum accumulator back there for the exhaust valves. Maybe it has a leak back there?

    How difficult to replace shocks?

    I got a Wi-Fi adapter that plugs in under the dash and connect my iPhone using Dash Commander app. You can read and clear codes with it along with reading many gauges.

    How difficult to replace shocks?

    Back off the nut and hit it with a hammer. Unbolt the two bolts at the top A arm to allow the rest of the suspension to swing out of the way. Put a floor jack under it first to allow you to take the spring pressure off after you unbolt it.

Make sure the top works well. Check for water signs in the rear electronics well in left rear of the...

    Computer location

    Common failure part of the fuel system is the tank level float in each tank. Corvettes have the same problem, wipers on the float wear/get dirty and cause erroneous readings.

    Computer location

    I believe there are 26 “computers” in the XLR. The Body control module maybe considered the main one? It’s under the fuse box in the engine compartment I believe, could be wrong on that thought. Might be under the passenger toe kick panel.
