GTSMarky Posted October 7, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2022 Well I'm all sorted now with a new MOT, Major Service, New PADM mount, Tax & Insured so ready to go. Will address the manifold clamps and discs for my own amusement in due course. Car felt good when I collected it yesterday, but that may be because I'd towed my boat to Devon and Back then jumped straight into the Porsche. Good service from Dovehouse who have been a pleasure to deal with.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gald Dove House are still on form, mine will be in there in the next few weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gald Dove House are still on form, mine will be in there in the next few weeks. Could be placebo for sure. Car felt quite crisp and that could be both the coil pack and the new PADM jobbie - either way I'm quite happy although a tad less pocket money this month now!!

GTSMarky Posted October 7, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2022 I have the failed PADM unit that I plan to have a look at - it's a lot bigger than I imagined, but I guess if it's holding an engine in place and moving it about it needs to be fairly substantial!

GTSMarky Posted October 7, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2022 I actually want to understand how the unit works & why/where it fails.. The mechanics of replacing it are clear. Got some bike parts to make and then I'll take a look before resorting to the band saw!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah sorry I may have linked the wrong thing (although still a great post), I seem to remember there was a post with a dissection of one somewhere but can't find it.

iborguk Posted October 7, 2022 Report Share Posted October 7, 2022 I could be talking out of my exhaust but iirc a number of the failures on these are down to the electronics being too exposed to the elements which was addressed on a revision to the part.

Paul P Posted October 7, 2022 Report Share Posted October 7, 2022 Mate had one done under warranty recently. It flashed up just after he had jet washed the car - suggesting/supporting the electronics being a bit exposed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
