Unfortunately, it looks like I must sell my 86 Mark VII LSC. I picked up another car, and just don’t have the space to keep the 86 LSC to bring it back to 100% in my spare time. But I am also going to sell with it lots of spares and hard to find items that I have collected over the years since...

Now if only you could re-tell some of those, or even better, find that guy again and have him write some of them up to post here!

Well, hopefully folk won't complain too much seeing it again! I hadn't seen it before, and now it's showing up with links to it on Facebook from a Fail Blog.

Anyone seen this before... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AAtkoje4-eM&feature=player_embedded Looks like one of those cars sold on ebay back in 2007 http://forums.focaljet.com/team-pit-stop/555536-lincoln-doors-slide-under-car-ebay.html

I recently put an aftermarket HID kit in my Denali, and I used Retro-Solutions brand slim digital kit for my 9005 bulbs, I got the 4300K color temp bulbs since they are closest to what factory OEM use for HID bulbs. It seems to work well for me so far and their customer suport has been great via...

Hey J - I know I'll definitely appreciate an updated how to FAQ for the blend door if/when I ever need it! And yes, I probably lost a few hundred posts from the other board in the LOD split...lol On a totally separate Mark VIII electrical note that might be useful to someone, if you ever lose...

Yup Steve, no filament in an HID! Thanks for the info on VVME bi-xenon kits DLF. J - I've seen the whole how-to guide with pics for replacing the blend door arm. And even though do-able, still a pain in the rear I'd rather not spend my day doing...lol, I dread the day it happens, but who...

Thanks DLF, I'll keep that in mind. What brand did you go with? I went with Retro-Solutions for the HID kit I put in my Denali. Not the cheapest out there, but I found decent reviews about them from various places, and they are actually in the US and answer questions if you have issues.

Thanks too sbcaprice305. I plan to stick with the factory 9500s until they go bad. Who knows, I could get lucky and never end up needing to make the conversion, or at least not anytime soon, and who knows what will be out there by then.

Thanks for the reply DLF. I do have an aftermarket 55W Slim Digital 4300K HID kit for the 9005 bulb that I put in my Denail projectors, so I do know that they work. But the cheap aftermarket bulbs are still a lower quality than the OEMs use, and they basically use D2S bulbs as the true current...

I know eventually the HID bulbs in my 98 LSC will go bad. Aftermarket HID kits are pretty easy to get now, and just swapping out the entire factory DC HID system seems to be the best option. After searching thru the past posts on the subject here and elsewhere, it seems most people are trying...

Thanks for the reply too Driller. A bad solenoid is what I was possibly suspecting, but I was hoping someone could point me to some way to check that out without the test computer, since I'm also not getting any check suspension error code on the display, so the car doesn't think anything is...

Thanks for the reply Whiplash. I'll see if anything there gives me some things to try out. It could be a leak somewhere, but I'm not sure it is since it doesn't totally deflate or leak down any more, I've seen that happen before on my Mark VII when bags have gone bad which I've replaced before...

Hi guys, It's been awhile since I've been around. But I've still got my 98 LSC, it's still only got 69K miles on it now. Part of that is becasue the car sat in storage for about 3.5 years from 2005 thru 2008. And is still pretty much just one of my weekend driven cars now. OK, now to the...

Just wondering if anyone has the list of trouble codes from the auotomatic AC system? To see this you push Off and Defrost at the same time, then press the A/C button. It shuts off the system and displays a 2 digit code in the temp window. I think "88" is normal. I'm trying to find out the...

Cool, now I have more hope that the Brembo's will help get rid of the warpping. I've been using the ceramics in front on my 98 LSC, I've been happy with them. Wanna hear about bad prices? I just had to buy a set of rear rotors for my 86 LSC. No one carries the normal rotors anymore, just the...

The ABS light taking a few seconds to turn out is normal. It doesn't go out until there is sufficient brake pressure if I remeber correctly, and I think it can be on for a long time before it is considered a problem. That may be one way to tell that your system could be going bad, if it takes...

I had my 98 LSC rotors replaced by Ford while it was still under warranty and those rotors still warpped after about 7K or so. That was back in early 2002, so those factory rotors still went bad. I'm using the Raybestos ceramic pads with them. I plan on getting a set of the Brembos from...

I plan on picking up a set of Brembo front rotors from TireRack sometime soon, cheap too at only $41 each. A friend of mine also had lots of warping problems with rotors on another car, the Brembos finally took care of it. My latest set of factory rotors started to warp after about 7K, but...
