'95 850 cranks SLOOOOW

'95 854, AT, NA, 212k For the last week or so, she's been cranking slower and slower. It hasn't failed to start . . . yet. Once it's running, it's fine, and no headlight dimming or issues with interior electrical when the key is in the accessory position. Battery and Alternator were replaced about 1...

Headlight adjustment without gears?

The vertical adjustment dials for my headlight don't seem to do anything at all, and at the moment my headlights are basically pointing at the front bumper. Does anyone have any experience with either fixing the adjustment controls (assuming the gears aren't stripped or broken), or finding some othe...

Re: 95 850 - dead Tachometer, wonky speedometer

The odometer turns fine right now; it's really just the tachometer (RPM gauge) that has failed.

95 850 - dead Tachometer, wonky speedometer

95 850, N/A, 201K Tachometer stopped working, just sits there at zero. Car seems to be running fine otherwise, except maybe the speedometer is reading a little bit high. I say maybe because I haven't tested it (I was thinking of just having a friend drive ahead of me at a steady speed and see if I m...

95 850 threw EGR code

Elation turned to disappointment in a heartbeat . . . As I was driving home from work yesterday, my '95 850 NA rolled over to 200,000 miles. A moment later the check engine light came on. I pulled the code - p0400, EGR out of limit. I cleared the code, but I have some questions >is it totally a coin...

Hail Damage

So we had a little hailstorm yesterday-- total carnage in the parking lot of my office, but I got off relatively easy, a pretty big (but still driveable) crack in the front windshield, and many, many small dents in the hood, roof, and trunk lid. My 2 questions are: 1. Has anyone had any success with...

Re: Brake job

Does anyone have any experience with some of the other aftermarket brands that IPD and FCP Groton sell, like Mintex and PBR? I'm looking for a more affordable alternative to OEM or Akebonos.

thanks

Re: '95 850 Cruise Control points of failure?

Just turned over 198K, so I guess at this point it could be anything.

I'll start running down the stuff in the manual this weekend

'95 850 Cruise Control points of failure?

So getting the cruise control working is the next big item on my list for my 850, especially as the weather starts to warm up again and I start thinking of some longer trips I'd like to take. I've had the car for about 7 months and the cruise control has never worked. The left stem on the steering w...

Re: 95 850 radio advice

Thanks MIJ. After poking around in the repair database, I might break out the soldering iron and try this , since I'm not so much looking for a working tape deck as a reliable way to get iPod input into the stereo without using the FM transmitter. If I fail miserably I might get in touch with JRL ab...
