you can go to any area corvette specialist for trans maintenance. the trans etc are all very similar. my guess is old rubber hoses are cracking. however if they arent leaking why bother? probably local shop could take a look and do the same job for $200 instead of $1000. maybe a good idea to get...

looks like this car has the V hood, my guess would be front end damage at some point. currently missing center section of front valance, need to closely inspect the aluminum support bracket, if valance is torn off bracket could also have been damaged. the bracket is also the radiator support...

this is a thread that discusses erasing all fobs from the memory and relearning them all over again. probably what you are trying to do. on a side note, that old fob #2 you have might just be broken, may not be able to recognize it. might want to relearn that fresh #3 as the first fob and then...

if you are replacing an existing antenna, then the holes are already there, might as well replace with the same type of antenna. if you are looking at a new install, i would seriously consider NOT drilling holes , and install a wartless antenna. those warts ruin the lines of the car.

congrats on your purchase, plenty of info here, and we all love our XLR's !!:thumbsup

WELCOME! congrats on your new xlr. lots of info here recently regarding tires. you can do a search. main consideration is do you want run flats or not. then decide do you want a higher performance summer tire or a high performance all season tire. all depends on your plans for the car, only ever...

cadzilla, are there even potholes in palm springs;) the roads have got to be 1000% better than here in pennsylvania.

i have been looking at the continental DWS for Dry Wet Snow. it is an all season tire, very good reviews. i didnt know they made a summer tire DW, for just Dry Wet. anyone comment on road noise with the DWS since its got the extra tread for the Snow ? i like the wear rating of the DWS(560) vs...

at that mileage, might just go for a flush and fill on the coolant?? most caddy and chevy dealers always running specials on coolant. my local corvette dealer will do it for under 100. the coolant on the N* needs to be fresh. then you know its good fluid , burped properly etc.

she's a real head turner! definitely worth the effort to get her back on the road.

how is the alignment ??

i am sure even that short ride around the hood gave you all the motivation you need to keep working on the car. i bet it sounds great with the aftermarket exhaust and top down!!! if i read your description right, the shift lever was just jammed up? seems probable. brake sensor could be...

normally , when car is running and in PARK, you have to press the brake pedal to shift into Drive or Reverse. there is a distinct clicking from the shifter, the solenoid lock mechanism, that will click when you press the brake pedal. you can press the pedal 3 times and hear the click 3 times...

what is the oem part # ?? that would probably cross ref. to some other GM or caddy vehicles. then see if any of those had aftermarket cap. or spray paint yours with chrome rattle can!!

you can also just remove the passenger side exterior door switch, try cleaning the contact surfaces, and reinstall. still only takes 5 minutes. read more here https://www.xlr-net.com/forums/cadillac-xlr-general-discussion/8351-difficult-to-open-door-easy-fix-2.html

you can remove the drain hose completely. mine is an 07. at some point they left the hose OFF from the factory. dependng how small the original hole is, you could enlarge it from underneath with a drill. and add another hole at the other corner of the cubby. even a hole at all 4 corners wont...

this thread has really good pic. shop can install in 15 minutes. probably charge 1/2 hr. you can install also if you have ramps... super easy. any one have advice on getting an alignment after the install?? since its the rear i'm not sure its really necessary. if you havent had an alignment in 4...

here is a pic of the underside of a corvette. front end. the parts look the same even though its a different car. see the transverse spring yellow arrow. then above each red circle , above the lower control arm, is where the leaf spring presses the rubber adjuster down against the control arm...

spring adjusters across the front and read of the car are transverse springs. instead of coil springs like most people are familiar with. under each transverse spring (at each end) is a large bolt with a rubber pad on the end. this lets owners adjust the spring tension to adjust ride height...

the shock replacement looks pretty run of the mill, any mechanic can do it. probably only takes 15min per wheel, including the time to jack it up!!
