#1 - Battery Replacement
My battery has been a problem since I've had the car. I noticed when I recieved it, the error codes it got were a pain in the butt and all appeared to be stemming from the battery and the spark plugs. Before I got the car the car had a minor tune up: New spark plugs and some other minor stuff.

However, I've had nothing but at least 10 times jump offs since I've had the car. I've gotten the battery cleaned and the terminals cleaned and put on some anti-corrosion(sp?) spray on the positive and negative terminals.

My final thing is to replace it. I'm planning on going to Walmart since Thermo (thank God for you lol) suggested the name really doesn't imply that much of a difference of quality or performance. I'm sure I can find a 700 CCA or less battery for under $100.00 USD. Anyone have any other places to go online or offline?

# 2 Replace the passenger side rear side marker
Anyone have a cheap online part store I can use?

Thanks in advance!

Default Side marker bulbs

Those little side bulbs can be purchased at any auto parts store, part number 2825 Sylvania, wasn't hard to replace once you get the slide motion down.

Kris, you can look on like e-bay and find them there. Just make sure to ask the specific question that the marker light is in good condition. that way, should you receive something that doesn't work (ie, broken like yours is), you have a leg to stand on. If you are looking for something aftermarket, good luck, you are not going to find anything. So, check out http://www.jaguarparts.com if you are after a brand new piece. They are about as cheap as you will find and it is a dealership. So, you will be garanteed the correct part.
