Give Lee at Cotswold a Shout 👍

Great informative write up , 👍

Booked my car in with Cotswold Porsche for some work :window regulator ,brake fluid change,new rear springs and top mounts ,coolant x over pipes coolant flush and recharge ,long AC pipe and regas and a 4 wheel alignment !! I’ve  had the car couple of years now and not really spent a lot on it as I have done all servicing and brake replacements my self.At least it will be ready if we ever get out of lockdown 🤞

Yes all good it fitted perfectly no issues .TBH there was nothing wrong with the old belt so kept as a back up .👍👌

I wondered why my coolant alarm suddenly went off the other day

Front lower left coolant pipe.  Always seems to be first to go.  All the others looked fine so just replaced that one £30 plus some coolant rather than the OPC method of lowering the front subframe and replacing all the front pipes.  

 

Mine aren’t leaking yet but it’s only a matter of time . Was it hard to do with our dripping subframe ??

I have a 987.1 and it’s a 2007 , the 2115s are way to small and I think would damage something it i could get them on , the 2160 fit it just like on all the you tube videos really easy to fit , I might try and buy another 2160

Possibly I have had the same thought , my car has AC and the retailers didn’t give any choices regarding AC or None AC , 

Tried to fit serpentine belt BUT the replacement belts are far  too small , both ordered using my registration Gates belt 6PK 2115 and Dayco belt 6PK 2115 ,when i removed the belt currently on my car it’s a Dayco 6PK 2160 ,?????

The plugs were from ECP the coil packs were recommended on here  seller got excellent feed back they come fully boxed wrapped with extra long new bolts with spline fitting  all in sealed packets .They seem genuine to me , but they can’t be any worse than the ones i took off 😄

changed all my coil packs and spark plugs £100 for 6 off eBay Beru  .Every one was cracked but the car ran sweet as a nut 👍

Fitted Lidl battery monitor £15 , Saw this on the shelf after reading Jontt post and thought I would give it a go , easy to fit app works well. checks battery,alternator and starter !!!!!

Sanded and painted rear top hats here’s a before and after

Yeah I am cleaning it later so will get a pic , I used plastidip it’s like a Matt rubber you can peel off should you want to 👍

Re fitted side vents , put wheels back on after refurb and ceramic coating then noticed a broke rear spring ☹️

I can only speak as I find I am really  pleased with mine 

Collected wheels from being refurbished £120 bargain!! They removed tyres refurbished the wheels re fitted and balanced in 4 days . It’s even cheaper if you take just the rims in £20 a wheel !!!

Contrats on passing your MOT, nice.

I had my first MOT with my 2010 2.9 in August (owned 1 year last August). What a mare! Long story short after having a 'proper service' (1.9k) at Porsche and 1 week later the MOT failed on the Xenon light washers not working, went back to Porsche who told me they were checked but the fuse was missing from the fuse holder??!! Where'd it go I wonder? MOT man did not even know where the fuse box was. Having some OPC trust issues here people!

Car is all good now, infact it is stunning......

Thanks and glad yours is sorted 👍👍
