so it's normal they dont always lock.. whatever i'll live with it.

Now I just need to decided AVO or Gaz coilovers.

Cha-Ching. I got the button to work with your advise.
It doesnt lock now, but i'll look at that another time.


I started my tune up today. The wires were original! Branded 1988, they ALL broke off. I'm pretty sure the plugs, cap, rotor were also original.
I can't believe the car ran at all..

once its unlocked it should push in without exception, and the key does not need to be in..?

I'll give it a shot, thanks.

Thanks for that stinger info, I do like that.

Now, what brands make coilovers for this car, I know AVO and GAZ has a kit for the sierra xr4i that'll fit, anyone else?

I got my trunk open, I sprayed it with lube, the trunk has been closed for so long I found a bee's nest under the hatch! The key cylinder is completely seized I got it to turn with the key but it WILL NOT push in and release the latch. I heated it, hit it, screamed at it. Nothing works. Any tricks t...

Hello,

Well, when I do lapping nights, I go to autodrome saint eustache, some sunday nights they have time trials/drifting.
Could also be a good meet up spot

I'm kinda suprised there's anyone from quebec here.

looks like a 1969 charger. You're closest without going over! It's actually a 70. I'd be surpised if you could tell them apart from that angle. My dad kept a gem from his childhood too. He's had it for 34 years! nope, definitely a charger. I really like the volvo wagon. I wish we got the manual tra...

It's home

Welcome looks great Thanks Looks like my 89 i had same interior. Good looking car thanks, the body surely needs love though NAPA...on Newman? Damn small world! I'm in there often....usually for parts for my Firebird! I live 10 minutes away! ( just off Shevchenko/Verendrye) No, wasn't me in the red ...

Welcome! You definately don't want platinum plugs in there - the cheapie autolite 764's are the best plug for this engine. I ship to Canada via postal service all the time and bet I could have given you a better ( total with shipping ) price on your motorcraft brake parts. Fell free to drop me a li...

Hey Matt, Let me be the first to welcome you...I'm also in Montreal (Lasalle), so we'll have to get together some time! Car looks quite clean! For the hatch, does the key turn? You can probably crawl inside and open it from there, as I know others have done so. The solenoid for central locking prob...

Hello everyone, I'm a new guy, I just bought a Merkur XR4. I was going to wait to post till I actually have the car in the country, but I'd like to prepare and have a few questions. I live in Montreal, Canada and I bought the car in Buffalo, NY. The car is at the border i'm waiting for the papers to...
