This has annoyed me for the past few months so I tried to re bend it but it was easier to replace the whole pipe which is now perfect! Re bled the brakes washed it and it’s ready to go! Like many things in life ,sometimes it's better to walk away and ve visit later it's surprising how much better things go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sazzy Posted July 4, 2020 Report Share Posted July 4, 2020 Two new rear tyres and a new fuel cap as I was getting a bit of a petrol smell after a drive and discovered the seal in the cap was pretty perished. Full tank of fuel on the way home so a bit of a pricey morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watch out for the wet roads with new tyres, although i wouldnt take any driving advice from me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the baron Posted July 4, 2020 Report Share Posted July 4, 2020 (edited) Got my parts from my local OPC and did the ashtray delete, easy job, looks ace and is now a useable space. I also got the OEM cup holder that fits into the air vents at the same time, quite a neat little device which will be very useful.

Berni29 Posted July 4, 2020 Report Share Posted July 4, 2020 Hi Took my front bumper off and cleaned out the crud from the radiators. One condenser was totally dead, so removed that as well. Then put some mesh over the intakes and put it all back together. It took all afternoon, and the vertical screws under the side indicators are a right PITA.

Yesterday, I reattached the bar from the outer door-handle to the door lock & cleaned corrosion off the fuse terminals on the amp live feed. Today, I removed the drivers door card to investigate a struggling window. The seal is grabbing the glass and has written the window regulator off now completely. While in there, I fixed the mirror switch and restored vertical adjustment. I rinsed a tonne of soil through the front drain holes and cleaned & re-sprayed a bit of surface corrosion that the standing water had caused on a black metal bulk-head panel. I think I may need something in the front suspension. I’m getting real chatter over uneven surfaces when travelling slowly, but the handling is bang-on.

Thanks Cup holders only apply to the pre face-lift cars, after that there were built in above the head unit/heater controls. If @the baron hasn't replied when I get back later I'll dig them out and for the ash tray delete. Edited July 5, 2020 by ½cwt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Don't have the codes, as I just went through the options with the OPC parts guy, if you get the ashtray delete, the little rubber mat that sits at the bottom is extra so make sure you order that too, also the cup holders are right and left specific, I just ordered the drivers side(Right) Cost, not sure separately, but for all 3 parts and with my Porsche Club membership discount it came to £57.82 inc VAT Edited July 5, 2020 by the baron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A second hand cup holder on ebay is about £40 on it’s own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tynesider Posted July 5, 2020 Report Share Posted July 5, 2020 Fitted short shifter and got all the trim back in, waiting for new gear knob to arrive to finish it off. It all went pretty well had to order a new cable end adjuster for the bottom of the gear lever, the old one was well worn surprised it hadn't popped off sooner. The short shift has improved the gear change for me, much less throw and straight in to gear, like it a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cjames Posted July 5, 2020 Report Share Posted July 5, 2020 First year of ownership so getting thru the things that need doing. New discs and pads on the rear and not before time they were vibrating under hard braking outside was a worn and some grooving but once i took the discs off the inside was fcuked rusted out so bad never seen anything like it. Oil change with a new filter and i was glad to see the filter was nice and clean not little nasty particals. New air filter aswell. It goes into Jaz wednesday for a tranny oil change. Next thing on the hit list is finding out what is knocking from the front drivers side, there's 2 pipes the run down the underneath of the car and go up the wheel arch and into the bonnet area one of the pipes wiggles anf knocks agaginst the bodywork ive done a little bodge job to see if that sorts it ill know tomorrow on my way to work, if not i think the drop link maybe the next thing to look at as the rubber is a bit perished.
