    Decorations for the Garage

    I got a gift recently (to commemorate the addition of a 2015 Jag F-Type Coupe R) which was a metal wall poster of the car, that looks a bit like a blueprint. Really cool, but when I checked the Etsy website they, alas, had only a few 'popular cars'... so I emailed, and Marcos had me send him...

    changing tires out...Tire Pressure Sensors too ?

    I would. I am going to get better tires on mine and will replace all 4, as occasionally the "witches cauldron" (thats what my wife thought the TPMS indicator looked like!) says my driver front is FLAT (which it is not) and thus gives me warnings about 55mph max speed. I didn't test it, I wonder...

    Important! ATTENTION: Los Angeles Area Cadillac XLR Owners

    Oil leak survey

    Marking Territory The Ferrari (1990), and 928S4 (1988) both mark territory. The 'F' has only 35,000, the Porsche 120K. The SLK55AMG (a gut German engine) at 115K is also handbuilt engine, narry a drop .... Must be catching, cause now the XLR decided to join the club at 71K miles. A little...

    Help! Rear Flap On Deck Won't Seat when top is down.

    Unsatisfying Closure to this Thread I purchased a WindRestrictor and during the install, removed the box to run wires per instructions. While cycling the top, I found that the FLAP NOW SEATS properly. So, not sure what I bumped, moved, shifted etc but it is fixed.:wave: I really just wish...

    Help! Cadillac XLR Headlights

    LED's and thanks again LEDs are in, I have a lift in my garage so wheels off, panel off and headlight out made it a breeze. (FYI the SLK 55 AMG requires the same thing to put bulbs in)... Resistors on order to solve the fast blink. No more melted headlights ever.:blinzel: Right? I don't...

    Important! ATTENTION ALL! XLR CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT HAS BEEN CANCELLED

    Just got mine and not scared. I also own a 1990 Ferrari Testarossa. I believe Ferrari only made 7,717 of these over 11 years. So, maybe there are 700 of these made for 1990, and maybe 1/2 of them still not wrecked :cool: The headlights are activated by a stalk on the steering wheel, and...

    Help! Rear Flap On Deck Won't Seat when top is down.

    the 'lever' rod This is good stuff, I just need to poke around. When I tried to move the center cover when the top was down, I couldnt lift it like it shows in your pic, maybe this was part way through the top lowering process. I am travelling for work for 10 days so I will look at it when I...

    Help! Rear Flap On Deck Won't Seat when top is down.

    New owner here! 2005 XLR, top works fine but that middle flap won't lie flat when the top is down; it sits perfect when the top is up making a perfectly flat rear window deck. I hear a 'thunk' when it seats, but it isn't flat and the rubber lip doesn't mate with the trunk lid deck, maybe a 1/2"...
