    XLRV Belt Tensioner - top of motor

    Morning Scott - thank you for the update! It would be awesome when you pull the thing off, to hook maybe a fishing scale to the wheel while the mount is anchored (I have an accidental marine theme happening here) :lol: , pull at right angles to the mount and see what the scale reads over a set...

    XLRV Belt Tensioner - top of motor

    So true re holding on to old parts. At least then things -could- be built accordingly as time passes. So what we need is someone with a low mileage V who's willing to remove a tensioner. Maybe during the winter when they don't really need it. Do a little ciphering, come up with a reasonable...

    driver shift control

    Howdy! If that's the switch (or one of them) in the top picture, that shouldn't be too hard to find? I just ran a search and it seems to be used in lots and lots of other vehicles so it has to be available from some electronics supply house quite readily I'd suspect...

    2006 XLR-V shocks all corners and Tech 2 w/ Candi wanted

    It would be a fascinating test albeit a costly one I suppose! How about Corvette? Out of sheer curiosity, I just checked and they do seem to be available -and- applicable for the '06 XLR (base) at least...

    2006 XLR-V shocks all corners and Tech 2 w/ Candi wanted

    Morning, Curious if there's a significant enough difference to not use a set from an '04 or '05 (obviously base)? Those seem to be readily available? https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/cadillac,2005,xlr,4.6l+v8,1430952,suspension,shock+absorber,7556 A fellow might think there's just a...

    Hello from Canada

    Hi Gary - welcome! I need to stop by here more often I guess: I seem to have -2- of these. Both look new and I weeded through some emails, and best as I can recall in January 2020 I bought one off eBay from "Jetson519" for USD$169.19. As I recall, one arrived with one of the mounting bosses...

    Auto window operation

    Greetings, Yes, very handy that - if you can find one. Don't forget, the mirrors have to be changed as well along with additions to the wiring, relays and such. It's not a horrible task, but certainly not 'plug and play'. ;-) Gord :thumbsup

    For Sale 2009 XLR-V 4946 miles

    Hi Jack, No, no, not a photographer. It is cool you've shown potential damage areas however (imho) there's no real great pics of the 'car itself' - I don't even recall a shot of the engine. Perhaps have a look at some of the BAT previous listings as most of them seem really very good. I'd...

    UK XLR, one of the few..

    Hi and welcome! You will probably need to invest in a 'Tech II' scanner. As best as I understand, it was designed for this system and the only one that can really do the job for you. There are lots of threads in here regarding originals versus clones, some with successful results with the...

    door panel clips

    Howdy, I do believe this is what you're looking for. You can get them just about anywhere - probably your local auto parts store would have 'em: https://www.amazon.com/Lantee-Panel-Retainer-Clips-15960325/dp/B07HDBJCDY Gord :)

    Help....need a single fender bracket for 2008

    Morning, You're welcome. Just write directly to Chris and let him know what you need - I think it's a 'canned' shopping cart thingy and it's just defaulting to some silly fee. I would be quite surprised if he did not oblige with a realistic shipping fee. Though on the idea of filling up the...
