    AC Cooling unit removal

    My AC only runs on high. Sounds like a common issue when the AC blower resistor goes bad. Looks like the cooling unit has to come partially out to get to the screws for that resistor. Do you have to discharge the refrigerant from the system in order to take the cooling unit out?

    Help from the AC gurus

    My AC is not blowing cold air and in fact it doesn’t appear the compressor is kicking on at all (hear no change in engine RPMs with AC on). One of the first trouble shooting items in the manual is to inspect the relays. Questions: 1) does that sound like a likely cause? 2) to test the relays...

    Braking issue

    I just notice when I tried to come to a hard stop at a red light that my brakes weren’t completely bringing the vehicle to an immediate stop. The pedal hit a point about half way to the wall that it wouldn’t go any further, but the car was still just eking to a rolling stop. One thing that may...

    Front suspension popping noise diagnosis help

    Could use some help. Symptoms: when turning left and unloading the suspension, I get a single pop noise in the front left. I can make successive left hand turns after that and no pop. As soon as I make a right hand turn, I’ll get another pop. What I’ve tried so far: removed and retightened...

    VSV for EGR replacement

    There didn’t appear to be a lot in regards to directions on this job, and some question as to whether it can be done without removing the top half of the intake. So the answer is, it can be done without removing the intake, with the caveat being, I think you need medium to smallish hands. If...

    Current parts guru??

    It’s been a little while since I’ve had to purchase parts. Come to find out the place where CDan used to be, no longer does the parts thing. Is there someone else on the site that is doing that now?

    Part ID please

    Couldn’t find it labeled in the FSM anywhere. Trying figure out what the little part that screws into the upper air intake manifold, right next to where the PCV hose attaches. It’s got what appears to be a little vacuum hose coming off of it. Is that just a bung for the vacuum hose? The nipple...

    Another tire option - Cooper Discoverer AT/3

    I know there is a lot of information on the site for tire recommendations for folks that wheel a lot. For me, this is my daily driver and I don’t wheel it hard, but I do get offroad some.. camping, muddy conditions, river beds etc, so I did want an All Terrain. I’ve been running Nitto Terra...

    Power window regulator and motor replacement

    Last weekend my window started only working intermittently.., would only go up or down partway or wouldnt work at all. So after searching on here for similar problems, figured out it was probably the motor going bad. Saw one link to a Dorman replacement motor, but you have to splice in the...

    Are there any visible exterior identifiers that distinguish a 2006 and 2007 from other year LX 470?

    Head lights just quit working

    So I just went out and started up the 80 and both the headlights are not working. Parking lights work, both brights work, but both dims do not. Bulbs are good. Fuses at the main box are good. I do have the Slee wiring harness. Any thoughts on what it could be?

    Does my LX stink?

    I get a pretty potent exhaust smell from my LX. My wife has commented on it often (she has a sensitive sniffer). If I start it up in the garage, or if I stand behind her when she idiols, I get a pretty heavy exhaust smell. She runs great, but do you all notice the same with your rigs?

    My turn... Coolant leak

    Okay, it's my turn to play "track down the coolant leak". I've been smelling the faint smell of coolant burnoff when I get out of the vehicle, for a couple of weeks now. Last weekend when I went to check the overflow bottle, it was empty. I got a bottle of die and put it in the radiator a...

    Anyone installed a remote starter on their 80?

    Don't remember seeing this discussed and didn't have any luck with search. Has anyone done this and if so what system did you use?

    Gauging Interest - Rear seat extensions

    As we all know, rear seat leg room is not one of the better features of an 80. There have been discussions in another thread about designing and fabricating a set of brackets that would allow you to relocate/shift the rear seats back a couple of inches in order to gain additional leg room for...

    So are we back to the drawing board for turbo kits?

    With recent problems with the EMS Powered folks (best I can figure they basically got kicked of the site for scamming people or being non-responsive?), is it back to the drawing board for finding a well made turbo kit/reliable vender?

    Heater Valve Nipple Broken

    Just noticed two small puddles of coolant on the garage floor and traced it to a broken heater valve nipple. Did a search to find out this is not too uncommon. So I need to bypass the valve until I can get a replacement. Any limitations while running in bypass hose mode..? I'm assuming...

    Okay guys. Finally decided to tackle this job and tore into it tonight. Everything had gone well, until I got to the crankshaft bolt removal. Tried the bump method. Put breaker bar under passenger side frame, disconnected distributor lead, gave it a little bump on the ignition. Felt like...

    Towing capabilities 80 vs 100

    Looking at getting a travel trailer (could be in the 4000 to 5000 lb range when all said and done) and have a feeling I'm going to have to give up the 80 for something that's a little more capable. For those who have towed with an 80 and a 100, was there much difference? Just curious if a 100...
