That's at least a 92 model car. Looks like it may also have a pass airbag.

Wow. It, like, stops. That's cool. It's been just over a year since I've
had really functional and decent brakes.

New rotors and pads. Cleaned up the slide pins, otherwise nothing special.
Of course, close to 1,000$ later.....I've once again added 50% to the value
of my car :-)

Pat - you can just print the sections you need if you have a CD manual.
Also, if
you can find a 100/200 series Bently for cheap, you could use the body
sections
for most of the V8 as they are very similar. I found that the heater core
removal procedure was way better in the 100/200 series Bently than in the V8
fiche.
If you have the fich already, I can send you a "backup :-)" on CD which
would
make printing easier. (the CD is made from this fiche)

BTDT
had my passenger side window broken by a '#$$$%$' and took it to my regular
mech (who usually does a superb job) - this time it came back with new
window and problem you experienced! Thought I would drop V8Q into the mechs
when I had time.... however, a couple of days later I passed through customs
and an agent came to the passenger side, motioned me to wind down the window
(shucks.... I am going to have to fix that broken wire loom in the door!) so
I leaned over and pulled the door handle to open it. Bad move.... it came
out attached to the wire that operated the lock mechanism. So I leaped out
of the car and ran round to open the passenger door from the outside. Bad
move.... it caught the immigrations/custom agent by surprise (they pack
guns!). The pinch plate and the wire loom immediately came to the top of my
'to-do' list!
The problem is - there is a plastic assembly on the inside of the door with
a rather flimsy piece for the rather substantial type woodscrew retaining
the pinch plate. If the pinch plate screw and the anchoring plate are not
lined-up before turning the screw, it doesn't go into the screw hole. A mech
having experience screwing self-tapping screws into north American cars just
presses hard on the driver and turns - hence, broken off plastic retaining
plate. Fortunately the plastic is the non-oily type and can be
re-epoxied-on. The broken part is at the bottom inside of the door. (if not
a flange can be made out of a suitable piece of plastic).
Hope this helps.

The PO of V8 #1 removed the screws from the driver's side interior door
handle, rather than just loosening them. According to the manual, you
shouldn't remove them completely, since that will foul up the pinch plate
that holds the handle to the door panel.
So now, pretty much every time I close the door from the inside, the handle
slides partially off. All the controls and everything still work, but it's
annoying to keep having to shove handle back in place after I close the
door.
Any ideas on a permanent fix? I haven't poked around with it much, just
because I don't want to inadvertently make things worse.
Unrelated to this...In replacing the glove box handle on V8 #2 to solve the
permanently open glove box problem, I discovered that the PY (Y = yo-yo)
didn't accidentally break it off has he claimed. He pried it off, lost all
the parts of the inner lock, and nearly pried the facing of the glove box
off the frame in one spot. I'm glad I was able to save the car from that
fool.
