Still looking for the bumper....

This is probably a long shot, but I have a bit of damage to the rear bumper of my P5. So if anyone for some reason has a blue mica rear bumper that they want to get rid of, I'd be interested. Thanks.

Does someone have pic differences between the 2002.5 and a 2003? I have no subwoofer, and a standard roofrack. However, I am having third gear popout issues, and if it turns out I have a 2002.5, I can use the service bulletin deal to get them to fix it (they can't recreate the problem (boom07) )

Sweet. I figured that is where it was, I just thought I would check with you guys before I start yanking out each fuse and checking if it was bad. Also, I know some cars have multiple fuse boxes, and I didn't want to pull out all the fuses in the kick panel if the proper fuse was located...

Hey guys, I was changing my spark plugs, and of course I disconnected the battery first. Upon reconnecting the battery, the stereo, map lights, and dome lights don't work. I think that I blew a fuse somewhere. Has anyone else had this problem? Which fuses should I check first, and where is...

Just wondering for all the people who are cursing the dog.... If a kid ran out into the street and you hit it, damaging the bumper, would you still have the same argument? I mean, the kid should know better and its parents should have taught it to stay out of the street, so if you hit it...

Sounds good. I will pick some pads up from autozone this weekend.

Thanks. I guess I will just do that then. I'll check the brakes again...maybe I have enough pad left to let them wait....

Yeah, I was going to mention the water compressing thing being BS...Since the overwhelming response seems to be to bleed the system, I guess I will.

I guess I will go with some ceramics, or the OEM pads then. I haven't decided what to do about the fluid, though I was under the impression that it only got changed every other pad change or something like that....

I am in wonderous New Haven. I am well aware of the crappy roads. Thankfully I can walk to work, so when the roads are particularly crappy, I just don't drive anywhere until they get better. I did search, and read several threads (that's how I found the Kumho ECSTA ASX). I was hoping to...

The tires are OK for dry pavement, but getting too low to for winter driving. The pads are also getting low, and I would rather spend the $20 on pads now rather than have to resurface my rotors later. I will check out changing the tranny fluid too. I finally will have some time off of work to...

Hey guys, I am coming up on 30K miles and am wondering what type of maintenance I should do. Here is what I am planning: 1. Replace spark plugs 2. Flush Radiator 3. Replace Battery 4. Replace Tires 5. Replace Front Brake pads Anything else? Thanks.

Hey guys, I am going to change the front pads and am looking for some pad suggestions. I am not looking for performance pads, just something that works and will last quite a while. Better than OEM would be great. Also, I read the how-to, and it seems like most other disc brake jobs, but how...

Yeah I found that thread, problem is, most of those are summer tires, and nobody really talks about using them in snow (they all have snow tires). Thanks for the link anyway!
