    2006 Grill and Driver's Door Hinge

    Getting back to the question regarding the wire mesh grill, apparently, one could purchase these as "aftermarket" and put them on NON XLR-V models. Mine is a 2007, and it has the wire grille... the company's logo is on the grill, and I think one can purchase this "custom" grill as a retail item...

    New and old

    Allan, I purchased mine last June, and I still can't conceive of a better car to drive and admire. The XLR is a work of technical automotive art. Congratulations on your selection. Happy day, James

    I need a excellent engine re-builder for my 2008 XLR-V engine.

    Did you notice any decrease of oil pressure on your oil pressure gauge, or did the oil pump and the location of the sending unit not provide you with a low reading. I've noticed that the oil pressure readings on the few XLR's I test drove and the one I own have high readings--that is higher...

    Millage

    We live in Camden,on the Maine coast, so when I purchased my 2007 in June, I insured her with Haggerty for a six month driving season. I put her in rented heated storage back in the middle of October, topped off the tank and added fuel stabilizer, purchased four tire pads for her to sleep...

    Millage

    Hi John, You bring up a truly engaging problem. I have noted that some XLR owners want to drive their cars very occasionally and carefully, and some, on the other extreme, use them as sports cars-- that is, driving them hard, and driving them often. Having just researched and purchased my...

    2006 XLR convertible pump out?

    I wonder if you can "hear" the pump actuate when you press (or someone else) presses the top-down button. Of course, if you were able to find out that the pump is spinning but not compressing oil, you'd know for certain that the pump has failed. But what would you think if the pump did not...

    2007xlr-v

    Hi Tony, I had a similar set of circumstances with my 2007, it had almost 30K miles on it when I purchased it this summer. Several XLR members suggested that the problem might be related to the fluid that was originally used to lubricate the differential... that a more modern and up dated more...

    Weather strip...again

    Perhaps you could attach a few close up pictures, and tell us which section is developing problems-- as a NON expert, it's obvious that there are several kinds of weatherstripping...it's very concerning that you're experiencing this problem...so a bit more background would be helpful as well...

    New GM ride control modules in stock. Just got one today

    I "internally" squeal with delight every time I work the top... the XLR is an amazing car... my wife, who is not a car enthusiast, is delighted by the car--- especially its smooth and comfortable ride. It's the most under rated car I've ever owned, and because it did not sell well, it is...

    New GM ride control modules in stock. Just got one today

    Thanks for the background! Really appreciate your response. I suspect all owners of XLRs say silent prayers when they push the "top" button, and it works. All but certain that the original design went through 1000s of cycles to ensure that it would work flawlessly; yet, we all know that...

    New GM ride control modules in stock. Just got one today

    Ride control electronic module Being relatively new to XLR ownership, and at the risk of having brought up a topic already covered, my question is as follows: Do these modules fail solely as a result of water intrusion from leaks in the trunk (below and above), or are they subject to failure...

    Salvage yard parting out 2 XLR's

    Salvaged XLR If you can bear to watch his You Tube video, he makes a point of demonstrating not only the operation of the mechanicals---engine, seats, but most pointedly the front and rear lights... he's selling them as if they are not affected by flood damage... and then in the final moments...

    Salvage yard parting out 2 XLR's

    What? I went to the link, and there is a You Tube video on one of the XLR cars... it appears to have no apparent damage, and the yard owner demonstrates that it is entirely operational as if he were selling the car.... what is up with this? I checked his web site for XLR head lights $2,900 a...

    15th year BG plant homecoming reunion Sept 26 - 28 2018

    Perhaps there's a bit of envy ...the XLR is aesthetically far more attractive and pleasing to look at than most contemporary sports cars; and, owing to its limited production numbers and rarity, it receives so much more "p;ublic" attention from total strangers than most cars. When I was driving...

    Help! Drain on trunk mounted electronic components

    Thank you CC--- I easily found your thread regarding trunk leaks-- The narrative is highly informative, but I could not "pull up" the diagrams that another member posted in his email. If it is not too inconvenient, perhaps those "All Data" diagrams have a link? Or the diagrams could be on a...
