#3213 of 3244 2004 seat belt retractor by marsha7 Nov 14, 2008 (6:43 pm)
My 2004 CV seat belt has almost stopped retracting, as the springs (or whatever draws it back into the body) are worn out after 100K miles...before I call Ford, does anybody have an idea of what replacement cost is???   (BTW, the same thing happened to my Prelude at about 125K, and when I showed the dealer they told me that seatbelts at Honda have a LIFETIME warranty and it was exchanged at no charge...it would be nice if Ford had the same warranty)...

#3215 of 3244 Knocking by merc24 Nov 22, 2008 (11:34 am)
My 01 Grand Marquis Engine is knocking (the oil was really low). Some say its a rod and someone eles suggested that it maybe the oil pump. Does anyone know a way I can tell becuase i'd really hate to go and pay for another motor. Replies to this message: snowbird6 (Nov 23, 2008 5:45 am)

Replying to: merc24 (Nov 22, 2008 11:34 am) It is probably both. If he oil got that low, it probably damaged all the rod and main journals bearings. To check the oil pump, have a garage put a direct reading gauge on the engine and check the oil pump output pressure. You must have a significant oil leak to lose that much oil. With a rod "knocking", you are looking at least at turning the crankshaft, new bearings and gaskets. Will probably mean removing the engine to do the repairs. Just a guess, but would estimate o/a $2000.00. to repair your engine.

I have a 1993 Mercury Marquis, over 100K and the engine started knocking a few weeks ago. What can it be? What can I do? I need my car. How much to fix?   Tiffany

Others may have a more educated opinion than me, but the first thing I would do is put dry gas in the fuel tank, as you may have water in the gasoline...simple, but it could make the engine knock, esp if the fuel is from the bottom of the station's tank...before you spedn $1000s, I would spend $5.00 for a few bottles of that...also, as you get to 1/2 tank, try some high test to offset what could possibly be lousy fuel, and go to a diff station than usual...good luck...
#3219 of 3244 Now I have a question by marsha7 Dec 02, 2008 (6:07 pm)
I have a right front side marker light, amber, that the bulb is bad...it look like just removing one screw to remove the amber plastic should be easy, but I remove the screw and the plastic will not come out...I was hesitant to just yank on it, as there may be something else holding it together...then again, it may simply be stuck after 4 years and 109,000 miles...   Any thoughts from anyone who has done it???...do I yank it or is there a screw I cannot see???

Replying to: marsha7 (Dec 02, 2008 6:07 pm) My experience includes the lens being "stuck" to the gasket. Using a small pen knife or X Acto blade usually (with patience) the lens can be pried from its position.   I would start at the screw side. Sometimes an owners maintenence manual will have instructions on changing the bulbs. Good Luck.
