Adaptive cruis control The radar unit for the adaptive cruise control is behind the black smooth area on the drivers side. V's don't have ACC so that is why the lower grille screen goes all across. Supposedly ACC does not work behind the screen and don't know why the V's didn't get ACC unless...

Got my Tech II Thank you very much Phrede. Got my Tech II yesterday and it is exactly as Phrede described his. I ordered mine from the place he recommended. There are several out there with prices that vary a bit, mine was free shipping. I was hesitant at first but decided to roll the dice...

Correct year manuals Just make sure you get the correct year manuals for your car. This is what they will look like for a 2006. I am an old fashioned book kind of guy so I like the actual books myself. CD's are ok, but I usually find what I am looking for easier and take it with me when I...

I don't think I could get my floor jack under with the center locations because it - the XLR, sits too low, and my jack is very long and low. So i might as well go from the sides first? I have 2 matching floor jacks btw.

Did you buy the tech 2, or find someone that has one? I need to get serious about finding and owning a tech 2 now, already have the books.

Nope, never too stupid. I've got 2006XLR. Kinda stupid but you'd be surprised how many people look at the back end and ask what year it is... :( After I put it on, I thought to myself how many XLR's does there need to be back there. Let's see, the plate frame has XLR, the emblem to the rh...

car shows I now attend a local car show called "Cars & Coffee" close to my home very early in the morning on Saturdays. I have only seen one other XLR there besides mine, and it was either a 2004 or 2005. I always make sure mine is polished clean everywhere inside and out. It is amazing how...

It happens a lot when... I discovered that nuisance when I was cleaning the dash once. Never forgot after that.

Switch There is a switch in the row on the RH side of your instrument cluster. It looks like a half circle with rays shining out.

Saw another First one I've seen in awhile. This was going northbound on the 15 Frwy about 5 miles north of the 10 Frwy.

If you take the engine cover off, can you see these on the front of the head?

Factory Service Manuals You can find them on Helms, but beware they are not cheap. Everything you want to know or care to know about your XLR and XLR-V. You might be able to find them on ebay, but I wouldn't count on it. I don't know that you would need the transmission manuals, best check...

The other books Yes there is the big collection of bibles for our cars. :eek: Of course they are year specific. I measured them at the time but forgot how thick that pile was. Just wasn't in the mood or have the time to start reading all of that.

This afternoon On my way home on a stretch of road with very little traffic, I saw a car coming up from behind and sure enough was a XLR. I noticed his right headlight was out, so when we came to a stop I got out and went back to tell him about his light. I asked him what year and he said...

CNC, I remember Ah yes, I remember where Monument is. My 2 sons live in Parker, both are civil engineers and work at Denver Tech Center. Imagine that about the 57 Chevy. I had one also but it was nothing special. It was a 2 door post, had the inserts on rear fenders with BelAir. BelAir...

tires I would imagine you are correct about the tires. I have been reading about the zero pressure tires a lot recently and see where most aren't satisfied with the ride. So I am not sure which way to go just yet. I see you are in Colorado? I lived there most of my younger years. Sorry I...

Spotted a 09 Saw an 09 yesterday on the 405 going North in the car pool lane. We waved and thumbs up when passing by each other. Older couple riding in it...they were top up and I was top down as you should be out here in 74 degrees and sunshine. Same color as mine so we were all wearing big...

No clubs in CA? All of the XLR's inCalifornia and no clubs? Unbelievable! So anybody(s) out there give it some thought. Maybe we could plan a run up the coast this late summer or early fall. Anybody?
