It was in the shop bright and early this morning. There were no codes in the memory, and it started every time for them. Just as it has for me since Sunday. The service tech thinks it is the starter because the starters are very basic and do not have any diagnostics built in. I am taking it...

I am wondering if anyone can provide some information. This has happened to me twice now. I drive home from work on Friday. The car sits all day Sat. On Sun morning when I go to start it to play tennis. It will not fire up. It goes thru the startup sequence but the starter does not engage...

I have a similar issue when I put the top back up. I just manually align the window in the gaskets as the top goes up and all is well.

Only the most dedicated will the answer be given. A man is driving down the road and breaks down near a monastery. He goes to the monastery, knocks on the door, and says, My car broke down. Do you think I could stay the night. The monks graciously accept him, feed him dinner, and even fix...

I am not sure if the XLR TPMS works that same as my Jeep, but after I got a low pressure reading in the Jeep and adjusted the pressure, it took about 3 days for the system to reset and the warning light to go off on the dash.

I drove mine all winter here in MN. We didn't have much snow (<24" all season). Yesterday was the 1st time I was able to drive with the top down at hiway speeds. We took it on some back roads topless last Nov after we bought it, but the nice weather yesterday was too much to resist...

Note: The TRACTION CONTROL 'ON' will cost you 2 MPG on the highway but I do not advise turning it 'OFF' for city driving as you'll wear out the rear tires fast.) Why do you think TC On costs you 2 MPG Hiway...it only engages when it detects the wheels spinning? As far as wearing out rear tires...

Push-button stop: Good info to remember the next time I am car-jacked. Devil keyfob: I guess I always knew there were 2 different settings available so my wife and I can personalize our driving. Since she keeps hers in her purse not much chance of picking up the wrong one in our house...

Well I have completed the replacement of all incandescent lights w/LEDs. I used the chart I supplied to replace all interior and exterior bulbs with LEDs. I have also replaced the Fog Lights with H11 7.5w 6000K LEDs. They are as bright or brighter than the OEM bulbs and they now have the...

If I am not mistaken Goodyear makes a run-flat that fits the XLR. I think it is a Eagle and runs about $450 per tire plus mount/balance, etc.

Actually @$350/mo for depreciation that is not too bad. Also you have to remember the price of gas is going up and I am sure the IQX56 is not the most fuel efficient vehicle on the road. Probably has an impact on resale value at the moment.

I do not believe GM will warranty any vehicle beyond 6 years. At least that is what I was told by the local Cadillac dealer. I am pretty sure of that because of the GM reorg a couple of years ago. When I bought my 04 last Nov I was offered an extended 'Warranty' from Warrantech Automotive...

We are still better off than our European counterparts. In Europe the average cost/gal is about $7.71 (1.51 E/l * 3.78 / .74) In England the average cost/gal is about $8.15 (1.34 L/l * 3.78 / .62) The decimal numbers in the formulae are the current currency conversion factors from Euros &...

It only makes economic sense to exchange vehicles if the reduced cost of increasing fuel efficiency more than offsets the cost difference of the monthly payments involved. For a car that is owned outright ($0 monthly payment) this will never happen. This formula does ignore the cost of...

You could also use the 3M Trim Adhesive in a tube if you don't want to use an aerosol. I would use the same application instructions, and definitely mask off the area you want keep from having adhesive applied to.

Absolutly stunning and beautiful.

They can ask anything they want. What someone is willing to pay that can be another issue sometimes.

Apparently the oil change does not fix all of the slippage issues in all cases. Mine came back today after only 48 hours out of the shop, and goes back in on Friday morning for more diagnostics. :( I hope they get it right this time.

Yes, this is reasonable for an expired warranty item. I had my diff fluid replaced yesterday because the rear end was slipping on tight turns. It fixed the problem and the cost was about the same.

I had the XLR into the shop yesterday to change the differential fluid (rear end was slipping in tight turns). I decided to stop in the parts dept to find out what bulb was used in the vanity mirrors. I still want to replace mine w/LEDs. It appears that for all new Cadillacs starting with the...
