  1. Duhhhh Me bad. I was watching football (Virginia Tech vs Maryland) and accidently logged onto the UK site. Blame my daughter, she goes to Virginia Tech. Sorry about that.. Denny
  2. Talk about STRANGE? Now I am a new club member again? With my real old picture?
  3. Maybe the light in the trunk is staying on. I've seen this happen. How you tell is to put a camcorder on record in the trunk and close it. Then open and check.
  4. Throttle body probably needs cleaning. Very common, they get pretty gummed up after that many miles. Email me and I'll send you directions on how to clean it yourself, easily, and very cheaply. It's worth a try. VB denny dwmahony@cox.net
  5. Check for a vacuum leak. That is a typical symptom of such. when one of the hoses cracks. An easy way to find it (if it is) is to spray some carb cleaner around the vacuum hoses. If there is a leak, it gets sucked in and you'll hear then engine speed increase.
  6. If the sunroof is open and the windows are up it beeps. It doesn't do this when the windows are down.
  7. I have found that as the car grows older, sometimes the calipers tend to stick. This is especially a problem as the pads wear and the caliper piston has to travel farther out in the cylinder bore. When they don't retract properly, it eats the pads. An easy way to tell if they are sticking is to feel the wheel after a short run. If the wheel is really hot, or if you notice one side is much hotter than the other, you may have this problem. My 1990 400 completely wire out my right rear pads in about 3 months. I was able to clean it up they work okay now, but I don't like that stuff. I have a new caliper in the trunk and will replace it this week. I paid $94 for it. Dealer wanted $365.
  8. You should check with Jim Walker. Look on the USA forum for more details. He is having replacements manufactured and I think he said they'll be about $159 each. Sorry I can't convert to lbs. I usually hang on the USA 400/430 forums but checked in here to see if there was much different information.
