Liberty Posted August 7, 2023 Report Share Posted August 7, 2023 Had the exhaust/manifold studs replaced on Friday.Within half an hour both back boxes were blowing out the top so taking it back tomorrow to hopefully get plated.. It's all factory so not complaining after 17 years and 110k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, It appears that the DVLA have stopped sending out reminders, and instead encourage you to sign up for the Driver and Vehicle portal All well and good, unless your name appears differently on your passport and V5. In my case it was the apostrophe in my surname which scuppered me. What a faf. Thanks for posting this - I went to register out of curiosity and in the process realised my tax expired end of July! Can confirm they definitely DIDN'T send me a reminder by wither post or email... sneaky. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This needs doing before the roof will work. Hi - thx and yes, I have PoCom so can see it is all set-up and re-program. There may be a short somewhere in the loom, I just cannot work it out. All the actuators work so relays are fine, the microswitches in the latch are fine, have changed the roof gearboxes and it still doesn't want to work as it should. That and the heated seats which are coded in, but will not light up - either on the dash either any more. So will take her to Tonbridge and see what they have to say, will put her on the classic register at the same time too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might have signed up for it here https://www.gov.uk/mot-reminder. My local garage also send me a reminder so I am well covered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiggy66 Posted August 9, 2023 Report Share Posted August 9, 2023 Received my PCM3 IPod to IPhone interface cable from Porsche Solihull this morning so installed the Bovee 1000 interface adapter. My hearing isn’t the best but music sounds were ok through the Bose system. Although when hooning with the roof down the carnewal gt exhaust sounds awesome so music was turned off! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirkm Posted August 18, 2023 Report Share Posted August 18, 2023 took it in for brake fluid change and found rear of brake rotors too rusty.. so have Brembo discs and Textar pads ready to go on the front once I get a booking. I remember using brembo discs on another car and being impressed with lower rusting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brillomaster Posted August 19, 2023 Report Share Posted August 19, 2023 Bit of velcro to hold up the floppy sunvisors. Seems to work well, £3 well spent i think. Few little bits being done by garage next week, should make a noticeable difference to driveability. Planning a trackday at the end of october so a few bits to do before then.

Goodyear/Mich Cup 2 or similar are defo on the list.. Really interested in how you rate them vs PS4 (which is what I currently have)..

They are fantastic and also quite a bit cheaper than the PS4 which is a bonus 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyM001 Posted August 21, 2023 Report Share Posted August 21, 2023 Replaced the AOS today as preventative maintenance as it was just over £60 from Porsche Guildford. Can't believe how dirty the engine bay gets. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
