Replying to: toomanyfumes (Aug 12, 2008 1:11 pm) There is a more detailed bleeding procedure but I don't remember the details other than I think there is a valve near the top of the engine (highest point in the system) and that needs to be bled to remove air bubbles. Should be in the shop manual. Replies to this message: toomanyfumes (Aug 13, 2008 4:26 pm)

Replying to: akirby (Aug 13, 2008 4:11 am) Yeah that was what I had read. The coolant is down on the list, we detailed the interior, along with replacing the air filter, a wash and wax, a little paint touch up, etc.    The car seems to be maintained and taken care of, the more I drive it the more I like it!

#114 of 120 Should I buy this? by rebel90 Aug 20, 2008 (9:08 am)
I am looking at a 2002 LS v8 with 75k miles for 5 grand...Yes thats right 5 grand...I test drove it and right away noticed suspension noise when hitting bumps...I mentioned it to the guy selling it and he said he thought it was the shocks and struts and thats why the price is low...After some research it seems to me that this might be the sway bar and bushings instead? A much cheaper job I might add...At 75k miles do you guys think the shocks and struts would be ruined already? On top of this the paint is chipping all over and its clear that NO maintainence has been done to this car (owned by a kid). If in fact I do buy this what would you guys rec me to do right away for maintenance and repairs? What will I be able to do myself (spark plugs,oil etc) and what is going to cost me $$. Any help would be GREAT!   Thanks.

Replying to: bonniesboytoy (Aug 16, 2008 4:20 pm) There are 2 heater control vavles in the system - driver and pass. I would suggest a look at pr replacement of the passenger HCV may lead to a resolution. It may be sticky. Good luck.

Replying to: finicle (May 01, 2006 1:50 pm) Same problem... Tire blow out on freeway. AAA not able to change tire and the factory trunk tool not work.. Firestone quoted a price of 5 bucks each or 100 for all tires... Online parts places sell 20 for 90 bucks plus 8 for shipping.. Firestone said they were 19mm lug nuts but used a 20 mm socket...
#117 of 120 Jack up & replace rear under-bumper skirt by ptrodriguez Sep 20, 2009 (9:54 am)
Hi I'm Patrick, I want to jack up my Lincoln LS V8, so I can change the skirt that attaches to the frame & under the rear bumper.   My wife was in a spinout on the freeway near Dallas. The car in the far right lane moved to the center of three lanes while she was moving from the left lane to the same center lane. She never saw the slower car moving to the center while she checked her blind spot. She turned her head to the front just in time to see she was going to hit the back of the other car. She swerved hard left to avoid the much slower car and succeeded in doing so, but she over-corrected and turned the wheel hard right and created the spin that took her across three lanes and into the grassy swale between the feeder road and the main lanes. She should have flipped her car since she was moving at better than 65 mph. The car, even though she over-corrected the second time, probably saved her from flipping several times. Glad she wasn't driving the Expedition. I think the car saved her life.   Long story short-er? The dealer that made all her repairs never noticed the grass hanging under her rear bumper and the subsequent ripped straps that hold this "skirt" to the frame. I told them that 3 weeks was long enough for them to notice this and fix it, "Ship the thing to me and I'll put the damn thing on." They had over 3 weeks and made several thousand dollars repairing/rebuilding the front of the car... radiator...fog lamps, etc.    I do all my car work alone, so jack stands in the right places will help a lot...   Thanks for your time, Sincerely,   Frustrated but safe.
