Can you do your magic on the 981 Unfortunately not due to the fact that the gap below the needle and the bottom of the face is much larger, so you'll see the slit. Unless you were comfortable with removing the needles, then I can do whatever you like for as long as the faces are white for the colour to show through Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive had the car 12months, its got 44K on the clock and a full Porsche history. To be fair Porsche had picked up on most of the points but previous owner did not get them done, as not major problems. Mainly plastic bits that have cracked with heat, such as oil filler pipe and maf clip, plus a lot of corrosion to brake clips and surface rust on pipes etc I have piece of mind now and hopefully no large bills in the future, I must say Precision Porsche are fantastic, gave the car a health check. They kept informed on the cost all the way through and the estimates were bang on price. Really professional and impressed. The first time ive used them , my other porsche , an early aircooled, goes to another garage, so was a bit worried trying somewhere new!

Billzeebub Posted March 16, 2018 Report Share Posted March 16, 2018 As we are due snow tomorrow I thought it made perfect sense to clean the cars. Also digging around in the garage found my old 986 Anni floor mats (charcoal/black). Swapped out the rarer Cocoa mats to preserve them. Then polished up the exhaust tips on both cars.

Mr96er Posted March 18, 2018 Report Share Posted March 18, 2018 Checked in with the garage who are sure it’s bsd fuel or a Lamda sensor. They will drop the fuel and put clean shell fuel in for a good long test and if that doesn’t cure it swap the lamda. Either way, she come home sorted tomorrow. She’s been missed...

el 3.2S Posted March 26, 2018 Report Share Posted March 26, 2018 Went to the dealers this afternoon and prepared myself for a wallet bypass operation due to planned purchase of 8 litres of coolant. They were open but the parts department was closed. Never manage to get anything there by making less than two visits. They told me the parts department would be closed every afternoon this week due to Easter. Whilst there though, I observed a car for sale which made the cost of my planned purchase rather pale into insignificance. Lovely car. Do not really follow new car prices very closely, but when did new 911's start costing over a quarter of a million Euros!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
