  1. Thanks Loren. Now if I can only find the $10 lock motors, I'll drive it to the local hotspots and show her off. Guess my tight butt may have to break downand spring for the whole $200 lockey johnson. Mabuchi (China) makes about 10,000 different motors of this type and they don't speak english. Yes the locks are made by a French Co. with Chinese parts, go figure! I also forgot to mention my mufflers were rattling when I first got it. I actually removed both mufflers, cut the shell open with a 4" wheel and repaired the cracked baffles. I should have taken pics as many on this forum seem the have the same issues. It was not very hard and cured my problem. Mufflers were cut on the on the large flat side, baffles tacked and closed with my trusty Lincoln mig welder. I can post pics of muffler welds to show were they cut if anybody is interested. My only regret is that I didn't use stainless wire.

  3. Recently purchased a 1999 c2 tip with 26k miles with an unhappy childhood. The car looks and runs great, its had some minor bodywork at some point (new hood and repaint on the fenders) and a little 4wheeling damage on the underside. So far I've replaced the following items and 1 mod. New brake pads left rear track arm (it was bent) wheel bearings, not fun without the correct puller (heat, freeze and beat) Ln low temp thermostat (car is only running about 5 degrees cooler, seems like a waste of money) both door locks are bad, small motors actuators are burnt, nobody will sell the motor which can be replaced (Mabuchi motor no part number only the name) guess I'll have to buy the whole lock assembily changed plugs, had missfire codes and this cleared, runs great Now here's the same old question, should I do the IMS mod from LN. I have the ability to do the mod. Since it's a tip dropping the engine and trans together looks like the easiest way to address it. I see no oil leaks and I'm a little dissapointed in the low temp thermostat claims and my results. LN also told me my low mileage car is a poster child for the IMS failure. Their recommendation (on the sales lit) is to do the mod during a clutch or RMS seal job, I may never need a RMS..... I want to drive the car but, the more crap I'm told and read scares the hell out of me. Loren please give me your honest opinon.
  4. Try 5744 or 5742 Tried both codes. 5744, unit sat on wait for about an hour after pressing scan up button, then returned "code". Second code 5742 did nothing, stayed on "code". Your thoughts please. If you have not already read this FAQ - please do so... Lost Radio Code - FAQ, PLEASE READ THIS FIRST Try 5744 or 5742 Tried both codes. 5744, unit sat on wait for about an hour after pressing scan up button, then returned "code".

  5. New to forum and my 1999 c2 with tip. She only has 26k on the odo, but needs alittle love. Left muffler rattles while decel, no doors will lock with remote or dash button. I hear actuators moving but no locking occurs, getting 2 beep signal. Also the sunroof is binding and will not open back. I'll have several posts comming to sort my new love out. No owners manual and new batterey. Any help will be great! cdr210 ser# w5018594
