Had a carnewal on may last 3.4 .1 - loved it - but the exhaust on my current one is a little bent so probably will go replacement this time. Maybe Spyder valved one... unsure What can I expect from the Carnewal? Not looking for ASBOy-racer levels of noise, but would like a bit meatier below 3000 rpm. Currently *think* I can hear a bit of a burble on overrun when well warmed up. Doe's the Carnewall introduce any pops or farts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My handbrake comes up around 5 or 6 clicks and is solid, but it doesn't hold the car very well on a slope. Handbrake shoes weren't looking great & since the discs wwere being replaced... My handbrake was the same. Don't know how to describe them but the little links at the drums were seized & needed freeing up. May be the same with you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No pops or farts, I think they are linked to fuelling not the back box. (oo-er...) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee at Cotswold Porsche said my handbrake will need doing when I next do my disks, might just get away with not doing them when the MOT is up in March, but I'm starting to put the money aside for it now 😒 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveRB99 Posted October 26, 2022 Report Share Posted October 26, 2022 OK so here’s what I did today. Not very exciting… Fitted the latest coolant expansion tank cap (part number ending 04) as I noticed a small amount of coolant around the old one after a drive. Fitted a new fuel cap as the seal on the old one was perished. Sorted a missing cap on the seat belt retaining strap on the passenger side. Porsche won’t sell just the cap, they sell the whole strap at £54 inc VAT ! So fixed it with a simple number plate fixing screw, and the cap that goes with it…… Yesterday however - I completed the install of a Pioneer CarPlay head unit. It rocks compared to the old PCM 2.1 unit. I also replaced the climate control temp and fan switches while I was at it… 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fewtrees Posted October 28, 2022 Report Share Posted October 28, 2022 My mudflaps had moved after being in contact with the road after the last run out.. 🙄😃 Took the rear mud flaps off and unbent the brackets that supported them and refitted.. Time to get some fasteners as the old ones are manky.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finbox Posted October 28, 2022 Report Share Posted October 28, 2022 Now that my car is in hibernation, it's time to think all sort of upgrades. Just sent an email to Royal Steering Wheel if they could redo my Sport Design wheel in alcantara. I bought the wheel used this summer, and it must have done 3x more miles than my car and it also smells strognly of some perfume. Let's see what they say, I'm most worried about shipping things back and forth from an EU country. The smelly wheel: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

987RG Posted November 2, 2022 Report Share Posted November 2, 2022 Two new rear tyres fitted (Goodyear Eagle F1) and a MOT pass with no advisories (first time in 5 years)🎉 Tyres and MOT carried out by Mr Tyre in Northampton. Absolutely great service and price for tyres and MOT. Only booked it in due to great experience yesterday when getting two tyres for my other car. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
