½cwt Posted December 20, 2023 Report Share Posted December 20, 2023 Ackermann judder is worse in winter (even on newer tyres) when the road and tyre surfaces are colder, remember summer rubber grip drops off quite significantly at 7°C and below, hence @Patt noting no issues with his even quite old winters which work better to much lower temperatures.

Yup I've noticed my summery tyres feeling more crashy on the 981. I'm putting this down to it being cold and the tyres are less supple. Probably all in my mind.

McDonald Posted January 8 Report Share Posted January 8 A one hour dash to Precision Porsche for some help with the hardtop. Only partly fruitful but another hour's drive home. Such fun to give the car a blast after the days of endless rain, when its been tucked away in the garage. Precision's new workshops are quite salubrious.

Possibly you meant to post this in the 987 subforum @McDonald ? If not, please tell us more about the 981 hardtop ...

cozzykim Posted January 14 Report Share Posted January 14 (edited) Discovered that my battery was almost flat after a week away on holiday. It JUST managed to start the car at the first attempt last night and I ran the engine for a while to give it a kick. Measuring 11.6V this morning and I'm thinking that I should give it an occasional boost when not in everyday use as it stands on a grass driveway in all weathers. There's a CTEK socket in the frunk, but the charger didn't come with the car. 🤨 Are there any variations of the CTEK devices? Should I be looking for a specific S/H model to fit this socket?
