Patt Posted November 27, 2017 Report Share Posted November 27, 2017 Fingers crossed it's only the filler hose or tank that's gone brittle I now she's up for sale, but one of the wipers is squeaking - will be replaced when I get home for my own sanity :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not great was it. First geo in my ownership of just over three years and 10k ish miles, though the previous owner had one done not long before I purchased the car. I had the rear dampers replaced recently and now I know why the car didn't feel any better after having this done. The garage that did the work didn't have the equipment hence no print off, but I was assured the alignment was ok. Hey-ho. Yes, it feels like a new car. No more horrible bump steer !

Bluepork03 Posted December 2, 2017 Report Share Posted December 2, 2017 New boots (but no panties) fitted on the back wheels. Went with PS4s as I have PS2s on the front. Also fitted new alloy wheel bolts all round to replace the Porsche original which are seemingly made of suet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be interesting to see what make/model they are selling. I replaced my low beam H7's for LED's a few months ago now, and they are very nice. Wouldn't go back to halogen. Have a few sets here, and would like to do the high beams as well, but not sure if they will fit yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Ken Posted December 2, 2017 Report Share Posted December 2, 2017 Fitted two front tyres - £222.62, then took in our little Golf for four tyres - £432! Oh and then paid a large deposit towards replacing our bath for a level walk in shower. Bread and water this Christmas! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinF6 Posted December 2, 2017 Report Share Posted December 2, 2017 (edited) Drained engine oil and removed filter. I left it for 3 hours to let it all drip out. One thing though, manual says 7.75 ltrs to refill, but have put in a measured 8ltrs and it only lights up the first full segment. Sorry if I posted in wrong section Edited December 2, 2017 by MartinF6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menoporsche Posted December 2, 2017 Report Share Posted December 2, 2017 Drive it a bit, check the next day. Better than over-filling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
