Davey P Posted February 12, 2021 Report Share Posted February 12, 2021 Haven't driven the car for about a week, and it's been sat on the driveway in freezing temperatures covered in snow most of the time, so thought I'd better go for a drive to keep things ticking over and make sure the battery was OK. No problems at all, started first time and ran perfectly, as you'd expect. Before anyone says "was your journey necessary" I can confirm that it was important - We had run out of bacon, so I drove to my nearest shop (a post office...) and got some! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A less local bacon store would have brought the engine up to warm and delayed bacon sandwich gratification - making the sandwich even more delicious. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Menoporsche Posted February 12, 2021 Report Share Posted February 12, 2021 Just sold my 19in Carrera S. And the guy probably wants my tailpipes that have been sitting around for 2-3 years Maybe if I’d waited another 3 months I could have got another 150 quid, but happy they’re gone.

I know ,Dave difficult to explain ,however before my 1/4 drive knuckle joint locked ran out of movement,I’ve done 4 of these now and have never not struggled, and yes Vacumn bled all ok, and quieter , bearing had a rumble, no play , but worth doing.

beaks Posted February 14, 2021 Report Share Posted February 14, 2021 changed the brake light switch and also fitted my strut brace bars. neither all that much of a ball ache to do, thankfully. then took it for a drive - as mentioned before, this isn't a hibernation car, it's a drivers car! happy valentine's everyone 😘😘 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bayernlarge Posted February 14, 2021 Report Share Posted February 14, 2021 Fitted new grilles from The Radiator Grille Store in the US. Thanks to @Lonewolfgjp for posting them on his thread. I felt I had to add some protection and wanted to keep the front of the car as OEM as possible. These were a doddle to fit, without needing to take the bumper off. They're secured with two supplied zip-ties which are completely invisible once trimmed. A big thanks to Eric, who was really helpful in finding a cheaper courier than was auto-quoted on their website. They only took two days to ship, and I got lucky and wasn't charged any VAT / import duty on arrival. Simple but great product and excellent service. Here's a close-up front view: [img]https://i.imgur.com/wucEqoF.jpg[/img] And one from a more normal viewing angle: [img]https://i.imgur.com/Tr16TTl.jpg[/img] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
