Comments
My 300 mile drive of a rental left me with mixed feelings on the frame stiffness issue. I did like the better steering feel and did not like the firmed up ride. New seats and door panels seemed an improvment also. Anyone with more comments?
We owned a Thunderbird SC for 7 years and it was a fantastic car but I dreaded every winter, even with snow tires.
My wife will be doing a lot of driving this winter by herself and I'm thinking I should go back to FWD just to be safe. She is a good driver but wonder if FWD with snow tires increases the odds that she will be safe.
I'd appreciate your feedback.
I know this is not a TBird forum, but have any TBird owners replaced their factory Premium speakers with another brand and what was the result?
present cars: 89 TownCar, 94 TBird LX 4.6, 64 Galaxie 500XL convt, 58 TBird hardtop, 99 Mustang V6 (daughter's)
All of these parts are made of plastic.
The replacement intake came as a new design which consists of an aluminum part to replace the former plastic. Has anyone got info on a recall??
This cost me almost $ 1000.00 in repairs and I sure would like to get ford to reimburse me .Also I found a service bulletin # 0222 but cannot get a copy . anyone who can send me any info would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, harold// email Kq4hm@earthlink,net
SIGNED,
do WOMEN UNDER 40 REALLY RIVE GRAND PA CARS?
I know exactly what you are hearing from your friends-- I am 26 and have loved full-size, luxo-barges since I can remember. When I was in high school, I drove a Ford truck and my father had a 1992 Grand Marquis. I enjoyed driving it so much that I convinced him to trade vehicles with me. So there I was, the only student at my high school who was driving a fairly new, loaded, full-size, rear-drive car. My friends really didn't have much negative to say after riding in the Grand Marquis. Needless to say, whenever my friends and I had a trip planned, they insisted that I drive. Incidentally, I am now saving $$ to put toward a 2003-2004 Lincoln T/C... in a couple of years. Maybe I can find a nice one off-lease or a elderly owned trade in! My advise is enjoy your Mercury.
thanks again

Is This covered by a warranty? or recall? or anything? Any help is appreciated.
Thanks for the response. The water pump, fan belt and intake manifold are ok. As far as I know the head gaskets are damaged and could not cost effectivly be replaced. If you still need more info, I will call the mechanic & have him explain it to me. I am not well versed in the workings of cars!
My daughter said that the warning light came on and within an hour or so, the car died.
Her brother was amazed because he had a 1990 GM that he didn't like, so he drove for 2 years without changing oil or putting in water, etc. He wanted the car to blow up so he didn't have to drive it. (He told us this long after we had sold the vehicle!)
Don't know about the GM, but the rebates are different too - 2000 for CV, 2500 for GM
I live in Michigan where the winters can be rough. Last year I purchased some snow tires and put 300 pounds of sand in the the back. I never once even got close to getting stuck. I was extreamly pleased with how it handled the snow. However there are trade offs. You loose some trunk space and your gas milage goes down 1MPG. For me thats a small price to pay. I do hope to get my hands on a used 2003 CV LSE 2 years down the road...If I can find one.
Also, carry 300-400 pounds of water softener salt in the trunk during the winter which makes a big difference in driving through snow. The air suspension has always been left on without any sign of any problem
Well, it's either that or raised prices, which is better? Remember, inflation still exists.
