½cwt Posted November 12, 2023 Report Share Posted November 12, 2023 That's been a long road to ownership but hope it turns out to be all you hoped. You already know how much information is available from the collective here. Enjoy! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have had a few false starts during the search and now the fun and reward starts! Enjoy. Also, new coolant and these cars always makes me think has it been bled correctly - hopefully so. Seems the temperature gauge is sticking, tapped the screen this morning as warning came back, and gauge has been fine since. Let the fun begin then eh!

Porschevirgin1968 Posted November 12, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2023 Sorry no pics yet folks, had a busy weekend, car has done 380 miles since I picked it up, apart from sticky temp gauge dial, no issues, it's tucked up in the garage until I check those drains and make sure they are clear. Had a good drive across the A7 this morning Inn the Scottish Borders to go see my folks, however roads are shocking, car will need a suspension refresh I think, also needs fresh brake fluid if its been done recently book has not been stamped. Winter project me thinks. Lots of questions coming soon folks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
