entdgc Posted January 27, 2021 Report Share Posted January 27, 2021 (edited) @Verner Liking the fogs, Many of them seem to protrude too much for me and have wide chrome surrounds. Cant really see yours in detail. Any chance of posting a couple of close ups of a single fitted foglight from the front and from the side. Much appreciated if you can. Thanks Edited January 27, 2021 by entdgc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks The actual lens does protrude a little further than the housing, but nothing that even would worry me, and believe when I say I don't have OCD, I have CDO (Proper Alphabetic Order)!!!

Ninesomething Posted January 28, 2021 Report Share Posted January 28, 2021 Can't unnerstand why a lot of manufacturers still don't use kunifer 10 pipe as OEM. Do it once..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninesomething Posted January 28, 2021 Report Share Posted January 28, 2021 (edited) Actually did something. Chucked the plastic baffle in my inlet, refitted the covers with some mesh to keep small animals out and chucked the mucky old airfilter and replaced it with a foam one. Think I might take up a new career as a contortionist. Actually it wasn't too bad. If I'd been doing the same job in an Italian car I reckon I'd still be cussing at it next Tuesday. Being German it all went back together exactly like it came apart. Hoping for a bit more growly intake noise.

No idea how water gets there! any ideas? Assuming the drains are clear and the battery area is,not swamped then perhaps - dodgy rubber seal - battery cover not correctly located allowing water to flover over the top of the seal - plastic strips down the sides of the frunk incorrectly located - headlights not correctly fitted/sealed, allowing water ingress via the hole for the headlight tool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirkm Posted January 31, 2021 Report Share Posted January 31, 2021 Ooh thanks - I'll leave some paper inside key areas to see what happens under a water spray... maybe when its a bit warmer here! previous leaks people found were rubber seal between the wall and frunk... which seems easy to check by undoing the black plastic completely... again a good job for a warmer day. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beaks Posted January 31, 2021 Report Share Posted January 31, 2021 Went for a lovely blast - for my sanity and to keep strong my promise of using the car every week. As said numerous times - the day I decide to park the car up for winter is the day it'll be sold. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nordisch Posted February 1, 2021 Report Share Posted February 1, 2021 I've changed my battery myself since the RAC wanted £166 to do it after diagnosing a failed cell. The OPC wanted £283! Surprisingly easy job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went out today 'just to blow a few cobwebs' off the car. Suddenly realised I was quite a long way from home. Started trying to think of an excuse in case I got pulled over by de five-oh.

Just make sure when you get pulled you have "**** tha police" by NWA on full blast, they'll appreciate that. Quite often, the reason I go for a drive in these times is purely to help my sanity and keep my own mental health in check. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andygo Posted February 1, 2021 Report Share Posted February 1, 2021 Possibly fixed the annoying squeeking coming from the high level brake light rubbing against the window on my 987.2 Caymans . It was sitting so gently against the window that its tiny flexing caused the foam seal to rub ever so slighlt and squeek. I loosened the tw screws that hold it in place belted the metal brakets slighlt with the heel of my hand, moving the brackets a tiny bit closer to the window. Refitted the lamp, now a little snugger fit and peace reigned. Sorry about the lack of photos, but if you have a Cayman, you will know how to get at the lamp housing.

Ninesomething Posted February 2, 2021 Report Share Posted February 2, 2021 Did the pears soap thing on the steering wheel. Came up so well that I did the seat too. Came so well I did the seats and steering wheel in the citroen. Smells nice too which is nice as the citroen usually smells of damp dog. When I think of all the money I've spent on leather cleaners over the years I'm slightly miffed that a 55p bar of soap does a much better job.
