    Cadillac XLR reference book by John Mccormick

    Well, after almost four years, I've had to sell my lovely black 2007 XLR--but it's gone to a good home in Atlanta. But, that means the rather nice hardcover history of the XLR probably deserves a good home, too, so it's listed on eBay: Cadillac XLR by John McCormick 9780974095103 | eBay

    Have you changed your hood / trunk hydraulic struts yet?

    Yes--I changed my hood struts earlier this year (I think I had bought the replacements for the essentially nonfunctional units over a year ago) and it made a huge difference.

    Adaptive cruise control issues--post-dead-battery

    Thanks! I got home and discovered I could not start the car again; the battery appeared to be still dead. I had a friend come over with a high-powered charger; it got to 83%, at which point it started flashing BAD BAT. Ironically/unfortunately, I was six weeks past my two-year warranty, so I...

    Adaptive cruise control issues--post-dead-battery

    So, I'm not quite sure why my two-year-old battery died while my 2007 was in storage this winter (and, yes, I had it connected to a tender, and it apparently died six weeks beyond the warranty) but I did manage to get it home. On the way back, my adaptive cruise would occasionally (but not...

    Help! How do I remove the battery?

    Got the engine cover off. Where is the battery hold down clamp? I spotted this in front of the battery—is this it? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Help! How do I remove the battery?

    So... retrieved my 2007 XLR from storage only to find the battery completely dead. I had an Aukey charge pack which got the car going--but the subsequent drive home and plug-in trickle charger seemed to indicate the battery would no longer hold a charge. Got the cables disconnected--but how do I...

    Help! Cruise control stopped working...

    No warning messages, but no response to activation button on the stalk or gap adjustment on the steering wheel. Any chance it’s anything but the unit? I had been doing quite a bit of highway driving before hand and someone wondered if it were bugs somewhere... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Trunk-friendly luggage?

    When I had a Solstice a few years back, I had bought a pair of fitted duffle bags that fit nicely into the trunk. Wondering if there are recommendations for anything similar that will fit the XLR's long skinny cargo area...

    Help! Battery saver/auxiliary power plug

    So... I got a new Bluetooth FM transmitter, and plugged it in to the aux plug (not the cigar lighter) in the console, to keep it out of the way--and that appears to be a permanently live circuit. Will the battery saver kick in to prevent draining, or do I need to unplug if the car sits for any...
