Hello from Gunnar12, a new form member

Hi!
Just want to say hello from Sweden. I bought my 1990 Legend coupé in 1995 and used it for everyday purpose until six years ago. I will keep my Legend for pleasure as long as possibly. The car is a little noisy today, I guess most ruble originate from the wheels. Anyone with the same experience? Any suggestions how to make it run quiet again?

Welcome to the forum...road noise from the wheels?

telafonic · 07-04-08, 09:27 PM

Welcome to the forum. I believe there are some other members on here that live in your area of the world.

Can you give more info on the noise, like what speed it happens at, or if you've had any repairs done, and what kind of noise?

Post some pictures up of your car please.

Brakes done recently? :3

Welcome.

Wow, that car is beautiful. White/grey with black leather? Nice. So, the rear bumper mounted lights are your rear fog lights, correct?

Any interior pictures? Oh, and do you ever see other Legend coupes in your area?

Welcome friend and quick question, what does that thing do that is on your rear bumper? Never seen that before. And for that wheel noise, does it feel like the wheel is a bit wobbly?

TO90LEGEND · 07-06-08, 06:18 PM

I just noticed one more item on one of the photo's...

Are those wipers for your front lights? Like on Jaguar's?

The noise from your wheels. A lot of people describe wheel bearing noise like a plane taking off. Kind of like a ascending or descending rumble.

Something like that?

telafonic · 07-07-08, 12:32 AM

^Yes, the EDM or Euro G1 Legends had headlight wipers. The G2's there have washers but not wipers.

Man, that's a nice car, one of, if not my favorite color combos.

Here are some interior pictures, and no, not very often. Legends are very rare, not like Porsches or Jaguars....

nice car, welcome to the forum!

That's a very nice interior in a very nice car. Take good care of it!

I like the EDM touches.
