Flimsy unprotected position sensors linkage! Today I really got going with the front suspension clean-up. I even took out the 'position sensors' to give them a proper clean-up. I'm not happy. Right front seems to have been tweaked at some point in its life (looks like it was pulled down...

Hi Rob - thanks kindly for the update and congrats on the milestone! I'll suspect you enjoy fiddling with the registry and the back-end db for it, so any chance you could add a child table to perhaps list owners (or owner's aliases) past and current? Not tremendously important, more just to...

Super! This is great to hear - you are welcome and I hope you will have a moment to post a picture of your car sometime soon. Best wishes! ---- Super! C'est formidable à entendre - vous êtes les bienvenus et j'espère que vous aurez un moment pour poster une photo de votre voiture très...

Laughter is the best medicine? :-) :lol: I am sorry, it was just such a loaded question and we do all need a (hopeful) chuckle. :thumbsup

I Don't Have a Square to Spare! I do believe it's a psychological issue. There was some news story about it up this way and it went something like... because people see the shelves empty of toilet paper (it's big, it's bulky, you can't put that much on the limited shelf space versus other...

Right, well, I didn't know, mind you I'm not in the business. And he's apparently in France where there can't be more than a handful of XLRs and let's figure that the inspector is just being a dick because it's something out of the ordinary he can't look up in a 'domestic' manual, or maybe he's...

I hear you LTS, though in this case...well, there wouldn't be a case. It's abundantly noted elsewhere (more specifically for that other car which shares the same chassis), and having checked myself, it does exist. Matter of fact, anyone who happens to like to clean their engine bay...

That's the spot, Ian - thanks ~ merci! Of course there may be others which we do not know about, but this one is somewhat easily accessible, somewhat hidden, and unless you have a chassis stripped as thoroughly as the one in the picture, modification to the number would be almost impossible...

un petit verre de VIN? Oups! Mauvaise traduction! ;-) Hi - bonjour! I did a little web-search and in all fairness, the information is 'out there' so I see no great harm in repeating it. Matter of fact, I wandered out and checked my car and sure enough, there's a stamped, quasi-hidden VIN...

Gravity means nothing at D&D AluminumV8! Hi Sandy, That sure looks lovely, even upside-down! :) Did you ever deal with anyone from uShip? If Mark would put it in a box or carefully on a pallet, well, I've had some great success from uShip transporters that have just that little bit of space...

Hi Sandy, hi Steve, Great going! That's outstanding mileage and super to hear it was an 'uneventful' trip. And now...I guess you have to do the mandatory x days of self-isolation? To the garage...there's turbos to install and a XLR to shine! :lol: Welcome home! Gord :thumbsup

Substandard items, false advertising and price gouging bastadges... I have lots of contempt for politicians...anywhere. Any country, any party...makes no difference it seems. :( That said, last night and today, I sure did appreciate Mister Ford's fury towards price gougers. He scores a...

Hi, Worthy of some math regarding exchange rates and shipping etc? Canadian dollar is pathetic at the moment (great for you)! https://www.kijiji.ca/v-cars-trucks/ottawa/2007-cadillac-xlr-v/1458086278 Don't forget: the V models are the 'collector desirables'. This one is @ 24,000 miles...

Howdy - welcome. :) Might I suggest you reconsider and perhaps visit Top Hydraulics (links abound here), and you could replace those two lines for $200 or so. I am probably one of the few people who would consider gutting the top workings completely, having done my time with convertibles, not...

COVID-19 ruins hood finish... film at 11. Vetter! Ah, I see you're all suited up for a trip to the Walmart! :lol: Must have been nice to get home and rid of that thing to do some painting in the comfort of your spiffy paint booth! ;) More pictures perhaps? The black sounds like a plan for...

A global pandemic does not give free rights to organizations to send spam masked as sincerity! Hi, Well let me see how I could write this without being too offensive. <sigh> :( I get your point, perhaps from your perspective you feel it's a good thing and that's fine. Personally, I've...

XLR? Today it was... Gaak! Suzuki repairs! Hope everyone is handling our new world without too much disruption. A friend of mine had the alternator quit in her weird little Suzuki SX4 and seeing as...I'm an idiot, I offered to fix it for her, as the garage price she was quoted was...

Hi Jeff - welcome. I'd give you what's left of mine alas it's too beaten up. :( They are readily available and about the best price I've seen is on eBay. Cadillac GM OEM 04-08 XLR-Grille-Lower 15247797 | eBay "Lower Grille - GM (15247797)" Dig around a little and you might find something...
