    Adaptive cruise control issues--post-dead-battery

    If you’re still using the same battery it’s most likely causing your problems. Also your battery may just need a really good charge! Last year when I pulled Roxy out after winter season storage, I ran it to the garage for Pa State inspection and they tested the battery and it was good but very...

    What did you do to / with your XLR today?

    What’s is the difference if the oil is setting in a bottle waiting to be purchased for years on self, or in storage area on a self or if it’s just in setting in the oil pan of your engine ? Does oil actually go bad, just because of the age, while in the engine? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Heya, Dan From PA, Welcome to the forum and funky world of XLR! The first thing I want to mentions is you need to check your main car battery, even if that's a fairly new battery a low or bad battery will cause these cars to act funky. We have an 05 with 103K which we purchased in March of 2011...
