Menoporsche

Low temp was recommended for the 3.4 engine as it was suspected to mitigate bore scoring (true or not). 

Not sure how much benefit there is for the smaller engines, I think I saw one argument in favour once, that's it.

Don't know about brands. Might make sense to change while you're in there.

and because the Mot expired I am not covered

Wonder if that is also true for SORN vehicles, using the same logic.

Fuel flap, rather than fuel cap, I guess?

New chairlegs installed. 

Nice feedback and well done. Text is not clear for me, what was the material in the bar graph?

First you fill your drive with rusting bits of car, then you do this?

Neighbours must really hate you now.

Still got space for missiles and an ejector seat, eh @mrbikerdood

If it is parked on a slope, it is normal for oil to gradually seep past the rings then be dispensed in a puff of smoke on start-up.

New house roof and loft boarding has put a dent in my finances

And no photos here? Disgraceful.

I bought a car, collected it on Saturday and love it so far!

Excellent, and it looks really nice! Start a new thread in Running Reports   

I'd love similarly blacked out lights on my 987.1 xenons. Too terrified to take them apart though.

Can't trust those EVs

Lol, took me a few seconds  

No. And if it does, you can remove (the 987 ones) in five minutes then refit later.

Will probably depend on which OPC, some are more forgiving than others.

Between paying for a total engine rebuild at half the value of the car, and looking like a muppet to a few guys online, I'd very happily choose to play the music and light the lights.

Hope it works that way for you.

So yes I decided to return the vehicle and look for a new one, been a lerning experience for sure. 

Also The garage were great and props to them for understanding.  

This is very good news that it went back and the garage were great.  Name them? Everyone makes mistakes, it's how you react to them that counts.  If they took it back without quibble, they deserve a mention.

The coins did rattle somewhat on the return journey. 

Put over €100 in the tank. Not sure if I have done that before, or only 1-2x. High fuel price (1.90 marked) and low tank. 

Agreed to get all nipples sorted before you start. No point getting half way through then have to sort a stuck/snapped nipple.

P Zeros are bad right? 

Been slated here for years but in fairness someone said the N1 are notably better than the N0. Only you can decide. Just get to know them before pushing. 

None, sorry. Just thought they existed and might be more useful than two separate ones, that’s all. 

We can circle back on the idea.

Ah but how many ferries have you been on?

After a few weeks of intense rain, the sun is out in Lisbon, it’s 20c plus, my garden is looking tidy, and this thread title makes my mouth water.

Fire up the Weber…

Is that why you have a 710 cap on the engine?
