TimsterC Posted August 14, 2017 Report Share Posted August 14, 2017 Got eporsch to fit new rear control arms. Feels a lot more planted now. Gave a quick rinse to get rid of the filth from their yard. Removed PSE switch (that isn't connected to anything). Tried to route cables for AutoTop Arduino DIY project and failed. Need to do some homework on removing the centre console to get better access.

TimsterC Posted August 17, 2017 Report Share Posted August 17, 2017 Got the whole of the lower centre console out last night and then put it all back again. Found the battery was getting weak without it being driven and the roof going up and down a bunch, so jump started it and took it for a 'spirited' drive. Seems a lot better behaved under pressure now the rear link arms are new. ;o) Very happy smile when I got home again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That986 Posted August 18, 2017 Report Share Posted August 18, 2017 So the new shifter is awesome still. Replaced the inner and outer tie-rods and had it aligned again, feels lovely and solid now at the front. Looking forward to a London- Brighton run this weekend with some guys i know.

Southy Posted August 18, 2017 Report Share Posted August 18, 2017 haven't seen it for a week, hope it's still in the garage when I try and get it out tonight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That986 Posted August 19, 2017 Report Share Posted August 19, 2017 Being as it's a nice morning I decided to give the car a proper clean, something I haven't done in a while. So out with all the buckets, vac, Opaque wax, wheel cleaner, rain-x and metal polish. Far better.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevs Posted August 21, 2017 Report Share Posted August 21, 2017 My 2 year old son saw a 991 cabriolet parked up yesterday and said 'That's like Daddy's car'. I'll take that - earned him a trip out in Daddy's car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr96er Posted August 22, 2017 Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 I gave mine the, "look back admiringly" glance as I jumped in the Audi almost reluctantly this morning to come to work... I'm going to smile as I turn in and see her parked up proud when her new boots on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluepork03 Posted August 23, 2017 Report Share Posted August 23, 2017 Got busy with the soldering iron after deciding to do something about my low speed fans on both sides not working. Using the link/guide I found on this forum to swap the OE ballast resistors for the much cheaper RS component. Passenger side done tonight, driver's side tomorrow night (hopefully....)! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noticed quite a lot of paint chips. Wonder if meguiar compound and da drill kit will do the work. That's my next to do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patt Posted August 24, 2017 Report Share Posted August 24, 2017 I'd not advise that ! - you'll only make it worse as the compound will create more fine scratches. You'll seem then as soon as the sun gets low, and you'll not see much else. You need a pukka glass compound and pad - Meguiiars do one if you want to attempt polishing out defects in glass.

Thanks @Patt Do you mean Meguiars Scratch X? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Meguair-s-ME-G10307-Scratch-2-0/dp/B0006ZXUAG Do I apply it with the drill as well or...?

Bluepork03 Posted August 25, 2017 Report Share Posted August 25, 2017 Replaced the duff driver's side ballast resistor with the Arcol component from RS, so both low speed (stage 1) fans are now working!

Patt Posted August 30, 2017 Report Share Posted August 30, 2017 I've been searching, but can't remember what site I saw it on and it's not listed on their commercial site either. This is basically the same product though: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Windscreen-Polishing-DIY-Repair-Kit/dp/B001RAQGXC And try the 3M friends & family discount (it doesn't work on everything) 15% off using: 15MMM17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ended up ordering this and a couple of meguiars cutting pads http://www.argos.co.uk/product/4645777 Today done debadging (by hand) with Ultimate Compound - the glue was a bitch but pretty happy with the result. Will give it another pass with the polisher when it arrives and post some before / after.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
