eob Posted March 6 Report Share Posted March 6 (edited) Took it for a service including oil change. Only things noted were the rear tyres which are ageing and need replaced if I don't want them as an advisory on the MOT next month. Shame as there is plenty of tread on them. And the tech said that the oil looked "burnt" despite only having covered 3000 miles since last service. He asked if I ragged it around. I do give it a spirited blast but only when its been warmed up properly. Anything to be concerned about? Other than that he commented on how clean it was underneath and said the Carnewal work was outstanding. Edited March 6 by eob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he hasn't seen black oil before Asking a male if he 'rag' a sports car would be like asking water if it's wet IMHO. Is the oil temp hack available on the 987 like the early 986's.

From what I understand the 987.1 only has an oil pressure switch, not transmitter. Someone more knowledgable may correct me though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBH, I had only asked him if there were any sparkles in the filter and was glad when he said no. Edited March 7 by eob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IroningMan Posted March 7 Report Share Posted March 7 Passed MOT, no advisories. Required a retest, though, as the N/S/F indicator bulb decided that the test was the perfect opportunity to throw in the towel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slomofo Posted March 9 Report Share Posted March 9 Cleaned all the accumulated cack out of the front scuttle, unblocked all of the water drains, realised many plastic clips and fasteners missing including one of the damper top covers. All stupidly expensive to replace! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes they are a lot cheaper than the online suppliers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
