There's some spark plug talk in the archives you may want to browse while waiting for Caddy owners to respond to you:
Splitfire plugs
Spark plugs
I wanted to install a XM Satellite turner in it and they (the dealer )told me I couldn't because the S model was not equiped with the proper wire harness. Well I took the car to my audio installer the tech went on line asked the chat room about the installation problem and wouldn't you know it, there is a connection in the rear cargo area that the tuner will plug into just like on the SE and SL models..the dealer said the fog lamps could not be installed on the S model because of some harness problem? My thought is that if the SE and SL models have the proper connections the S model should also.
So I was wondering if anyone out there has installed the fog lamps in the Mirano S model?

I called Farmers immediately to file the claim and they said my son was excluded from my policy. My son is covered by Mercury and they said my car was excluded from his policy. So we are left to pay for not only damages to my car but $2,997.98 in damages to the other vehicle even tho' it suffered only a couple of minor scratches.
My son has his own car and his own insurance with Mercury and so he would only borrow my car in case of emergency. Well, his brakes had failed so that's why I let him take my car. I didn't want him to drive w/ faulty brakes.
I was with AAA for 23 years and only left them when they raised my rates for no reason. I would call the 800 number and get a different quote each time. Out of frustration, I went to Farmers and the agent got me a better quote. He also said my son could use my car and Mercury would cover it. And if I used his car Farmers would cover me.
My Farmers agent is no help. We communicated via emails and phone calls and I never told him that my son had collision coverage. He now seems to think that I did and that is why he excluded my son from my policy. This agent did send and email to the adjuster stating that if he was at fault, then Farmers should pay the claim but the adjusters office already sent a denial letter.
Allstate, the other guys insurance never even contacted me. They spoke to my son who says the other guy is at fault and Allstate claims my son is at fault. They sent the claim amount to a collection agency w/o talking to me and they want payment.
When we first bought auto insurance I was married and my husband bought it. I am a widow and don't know much about insurance so I trusted my agent to provide me with the same kind of coverage I had with AAA. Obviously, he gave me something else.
My son was able to fix somethings on my car and we took it to a garage for the rest of the repairs. But I don't see how a couple of minor scratches could result in ~$3K worth of claims from the other guys insurance.
I am afraid of getting my good credit rating ruined and also afraid that I have no choice other than to pay up.
My son was pulling out of a Kragen's parking lot and the other car came around the corner and they collided. Both claim it was the other guys fault. What should I do? We left message w/ the Allstate agent to call us so we can discuss the claim but he never called. How can I get this resolved?
I believe Farmers should pay for the repairs because of the info my insurance agent gave me. He had told me I would be covered regardless of who drove my car but he restricted my son! Now he claims that we had discussed it and it was his understanding that my son had collision insurance. When he had asked if my son had insurance I told him yes and that my son also drove his own car but I wanted him to be able to drive mine in case of emergency.
I would appreciate any advice on how to proceed. I can't afford a license suspension or have my credit rating damaged. I always pay my premiums in full in a single payment and have never been
late. I had thought I had pretty good coverage only to discover that I am in worse shape. What happens now that the credit collections agency has sent the subrogation notice? Can I still get Farmers to somehow pay for the damages to the other guys car?
Also, how can I get collision isurance for my son on his 1992 Corrola? Every quote so far says I need comprehensive coverage in order to get the collision.
Thank you in advance for your response.

When you reveal the accident, people will try to grind the price---how much they can grind is really up to you and what the market will bear. There are no price guides to account for damage. The rule for cars under "salvage" title (which yours shouldn't be) is 20-40% less than retail.

I am very stoked right about now. I just bought my first every range rover. It's a 1993 but I feel like it's brand new. Question, I have is how do I post a new thread, you know for all us newbies to the forum asking silly questions about our new toy. I still can't believe I have a range rover. Look out George Jefferson, I'm moving on up! So
Steve, what's the protocol?
