Bradders59 Posted May 1, 2021 Report Share Posted May 1, 2021 Adjusted handbrake cables at the console end ready for MOT. Just need to sort the PAS pressure pipe now. I think I will take it off (having now found out how to) and take it to a hydraulic hose outfit and ask them to do a permanent join where its previously been bodged. Replacements seem very expensive.

Halfordwill Posted May 8, 2021 Report Share Posted May 8, 2021 I have noticed over the last few months that the hood was getting creased and saggy between the glass and the clamshell, I thought it was getting old but it turns out that the glue that holds it to the metal base had dried out and it was pulling out...hence the creases. There was a good write up here http://986forum.com/forums/diy-project-guides/71959-fix-sagging-soft-top-coming-unstuck-rear.html I followed the write up and it’s as good as new again! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeluth Posted May 10, 2021 Report Share Posted May 10, 2021 Replaced front left and rear right abs sensors, both were seized and broke when I tried to remove them, had to drill and pick away at the plastic enough to get the magnets out, what an pain.. finally got the new ones in, cleared the fault code and no more abs light!

femreg Posted May 13, 2021 Report Share Posted May 13, 2021 - Phone holder with my cheap Aukey Bluetooth transmitter - Exhaust rattle solved, it was due to a free hanging pressure valve cable of the sports exhaust - All weather mats - Noticed that I don't have clips for wind deflector glass, hopefully I will figure out with some ebay purchase.

Do you mean the hard lines on the rack itself? These are available for £49.99 from Woollies workshop. https://wooliesworkshop.com/collections/porsche-boxster-steering-and-suspension/products/power-steering-rack-pipes-for-porsche-911-996-porsche-boxster-986-97-05-996-347-012-08 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bradders59 Posted May 13, 2021 Report Share Posted May 13, 2021 No, the pipe which goes through the o/s wheelarch to the rack. Havent got around to it yet. Spent ages trying to get my Clio dci to stop leaking oil from every orifice, and finally succeeded a few days ago. Then replaced a balljoint on the old Omega yesterday, which turned into a pig of a job which ran into today. Was planning to get onto the PAS pipe on the Boxster today, but now promised the wife I will do a couple of jobs she wants doing, so it gets put back yet again. Working over the weekend, so hopefully Monday. 🙄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bradders59 Posted May 13, 2021 Report Share Posted May 13, 2021 Having said all that, Ive just realised today is Thursday, not Friday, so I might get it sorted tomorrow. 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kay Pee Posted May 13, 2021 Report Share Posted May 13, 2021 Removed the MAF when investigating a poor idle. Didn't look too dirty, so decided to check the pipework, hmmm, not too bad. Little bit of oil in the hose from TB-AOS, not too bad... Sure I'll make the effort and take the Throttle Body off to have a look - YUCK! Idle control valve ports all caked in black gunge, TB fairly mucky. All 102k miles of muck are present! Will hopefully get it cleaned and re-assembled tonight to see if the idle is fixed 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't work, idle still a bit lumpy and stalls sometimes at low revs - off to hunt for vacuum leaks! 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
