Fantastic! That would make for a very desirable 'kit' for many people, if in fact it happens to fly. :) I wonder, are the actual terminals in the 3 originals possibly the same as those in the single? That would be a bonus... a bit time consuming to pull them and replace them in to the single...

Howdy! That's interesting for sure. No knowledge if it has been done or could be done, but if it is actually possible, that could be a game-changer for lots of XLR owners. Maybe give it a try if you're up to it?

I think with all the issues XLRs have with batteries, easy access to the engine bay is certainly something worth having. Personally, I'm running a badgeless grill (picture in some other thread) so I couldn't use the moving emblem idea. Interestingly enough, one of the previous owners of #67...

I guess it was Sunday past, I managed to get the front subframe and steering rack reinstalled. Quite easy actually and so, so nice to have the 17 years of grime all cleaned off as well. That makes for such a nicer environment, especially lying on your back! Biggest hassle had to be not...

Hi Martin, hi Marlene...welcome! :) While the two are lovely, my -personal- vote goes to the silver one. I prefer the color, it has lower kilometers, it has a lower price too. Someone has modified the front grill to the XLR-V style which doesn't really score a plus or a minus - again...

Hi All, Just a little heads-up regarding the cabin air filter, at least on the 04-05 and probably for all years. I decided to change mine (yeah, it was a bit dirty), bought a 'Denso' brand via RockAuto because I had some other spares coming from one of their warehouses so that saves on...

Hi, There's a couple of screws hiding on the back side of the pull-handle. I think it was a rubber or such cover you need to pull off first. You'd need a stubby screwdriver or maybe even just the 'bit' from one to get the handle off. You would do well to have a fresh switch on-hand prior. If...

Hi Deano, IMHO, all of us living on this side of the fence need to do some careful ciphering what with the actual exchange rates used and the transport costs. Take that versus anything you might be able to get locally and I'll easily wager that buying out of the US is almost leagues ahead of...

And on and on... I guess I've been at this portion for about a week now but time for a post. :) I have alllllll the front suspension ready to go back in the car - all new shocks and bushings, ball joints, tie rod ends and such, not to mention all the actual components have been cleaned up like...

Morning Steve, The 15/15 sure sounds possible and that would be their manufactured date. Logically, they were installed on the car after that date and could have been even say, a year ago depending on how well Continental managed rotating their stock and such. A five year old tire should be just...

Hi Steve, Check the date on the tires. You can Google that and see how to find it. That's important - they really shouldn't be older than say, 6 or 7 years regardless of mileage and wear. I have no idea what the XLR came with originally and I can't see specs on your tire regarding directional...

Hi Steve, Pretty good article here: Access Denied Not knowing what tires you're using, meaning directional or not, follow the recommendations that might best apply. HTH! Gord :thumbsup

Guessing the lower (they seem to get whacked more often than not)... 04 05 06 07 08 09 CADILLAC XLR LOWER RADIATOR SUPPORT SKID BAR NEW GM | eBay Dig around - perhaps you could find used or new from somewhere else. It's almost a given though: if it's new or straight, it's going to be costly...

Morning, Did you get warranty on the batteries btw? I sure hope you didn't have to keep buying and buying! There's so, so much that could be drawing the battery down it's really hard to pinpoint outright. There will always be some current draw because of all the systems running and being kept...

I'd tend to concur with that, and in the pictures in the other thread ( https://www.xlr-net.com/forums/cadillac-xlr-general-discussion/11896-about-to-be-on-my-4th-water-pump.html#post86581 ) ... it would be really interesting to set up a manometer and an anemometer to see just what sort of air...

True Badgeless Grill I've been poking away at this for quite some time this summer. It's frustrating as I'm most certainly not a 'bodywork' sort of guy. Now in the primer stage, well, have a look and you're welcome to say doing this was a good thing or bad. :lol: Personally, on account of the...

Hi and you're welcome. ;) Just a copy / paste from another site for ease and I put the RockAuto links in for each. 1. COMPRESSOR The most essential component of any air conditioning system is the compressor. The four main functions that your vehicle’s compressor carries out include...

Hi & welcome! Sure seems like an alternator or almost most likely, a wiring issue. Fact (I'm writing it again): 9 out of 10 electrical problems are a bad connection. Your battery is quite new. Even if it's low on charge, it should be able to be charged up and preferably by a low current...

Cool! Howdy, How much of this are you planning to do yourself may I ask? That because if you have say, a bad compressor, the whole system needs to be cleaned out 'just in case' any shrapnel got passed down the lines. You wouldn't want to install a new compressor only to have it ingest bits of...

If anyone wanted to do it -really- right, the pump and modules etc - all the shtuff in that ice bucket, should be moved to the forward most part of the trunk, perhaps just behind the passenger seat. It would centralize the hydraulic lines, reduce weight what with less line and wire length, keep...
