Got fed up of pass headlight fogging up and producing condensation, and couldn't find the leak, so I smoke tested it. Heres a link to youtube of the smoke pouring out of the join where the lens is glued. Amazed the hell out of me! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3YgmMqWsYuc&feature=youtu.be...

hi all. i've been hunting down an erratic fuel gauge reading (one day reading 1/4, next 3/4 etc) and have already changed the fuel tank sending unit as part of a fuel tank restoration, but the problem continues. I have used the NGS tester to command the gauge and this is what I got 10% command...

So, its fuel tank play time! Not just to investigate why the fuel level reading on the dash is all over the place, but because its about time it was cleaned up and the underbody checked out above the fuel tank and in places where the exhaust was (back corners). Call it having fun! car up in...

I know this is a long shot, but do you recognise this car? I’m trying to trace the past owners of it in the US, because its now in the UK. Yes, I know there’s probably loads of pearl white mark 8’s about, but it’s about the only way I can find out due to your privacy laws. Was on this forum...

I'm begging........over here in the dark UK......with a worn slider pin on my passenger side rear brake:eek: And to make matters worse, there are none in our breakers yards. To top that off, its raining and cold:( And I've got worn slider pins:o Can anyone take pity on me and offer to post...

Hi everybody. I live in the UK and have recently bought a 1997 lincoln mark 8. I have the carfax report and the car was in Arizona until early 2004 when it was exported from Long Beach to Spain. Then from Spain to the UK in 2008. I really would love to talk to previous owners about the car, but...

Found right at the back of the trunk, up against the rear seat back. Don't know if its even mark 8 related, but I found it in one! On it, it says WALBRO, Japan. The black bit is the remains of a rubber pipe that has been cut. Felt bottom half, with 2 metal strips on opposite sides that...

Hi all. Since my Mark has spent most of its life in california and marbella, the evap tray will be alright won't it? Er,........no! Looks reasonable here Here is a closer look Just about all the coating was peeling off, but it still took another 2 hours of scraping to get most of it...

Hi all. I need part # F7LZ9275AA (fuel level sender) for my 97 mark 8. Where do you guys usually get your parts? I am in the UK, so ordering online is good, but I will phone them if necessary. Thanks for any reply. Andy.

Drivers door handle a little floppy on one side. No surprises there then! Lets take it off and have a look. You should be able to see the tab that has broken off and where its come from. I have got another surround but it is not painted the right colour yet and I want to see if I can repair...

Interesting one this. I have a 97 mark and have been getting a bulb outtage fault code for the turn signals (both sides). But no bulbs are out:confused: When the right or left turn signals are turned on, the front ones were very hit and miss. Sometimes flashing and sometimes trying to flash...

Hi all. Don't know whether I introduced myself properly in my last 2 postings, so lets start again......... I bought this mark 8 a few months ago in the UK and have been slowly restoring it. 80K miles and a few minor niggles but nothing serious. Its had a replacement warranty engine at some...

I've heard there is a TSB about an erratic fuel gauge. Is this correct? Something about a modified tank/sender design? Andy.

Anybody know if the lincoln badge that is right in the middle of the front grille is available separately? One half of mine has mysteriously disappeared!! 1997 by the way. Thanks. Andy
