DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

thank you for that Mark.

Well i have taken the rear clusters off to see if its the bulbs.

So heres the next dumb newbie question...

how do i get to the bulb itself? I dont wanna force anything and break it.

**Shakes his head**

that looks horrible.

more of a floor panel than pan!

Another typical “newbie” question…

Should the reversing light on the back on my 912 light up when I put the car into reverse? (they don’t at the moment)

I have not been able yet to get underneath to see if there is a switch on the gearbox.

sorry to go off topic, but for insurance, ring Stuart at T R Youngs. 01206 821 330

mention DDK or Me (Del). he is very enthusiastic and knows exactly what he is doing and will get you a very good quote.

test fitted a random horn to those two connectors the other day and it worked when i pressed the horn in the car.

so my next question is:

they are obviously twin horns with one high and low?

How do i know which is which and which one i need? And finally, where is the best place to get them?

Quartz watches have no soul, a watch with a movement is like a living thing on your wrist.

A good point well made.

be super careful what and from whom you buy out there.

I almost fell for one of them simply cos they look nice and that unusual tyre pattern strap too but in the end put the money towards the IWC.

Get yourself a nice Panerai - far classier!

Good call. Something so obvious that i had never really thought of, but makes such simple sense.

The main thing you need to ensure is that all the hoses are air tight and complete, no cracks and a good fit on the ducting, the main thing is ensuring your heat exchangers are in good order otherwise you'll be breathing exhaust gases. Also is the main engine tinware to body rubber seal present and...

slightly off topic but someone here might be able to shed light on it... I have working "heaters" and there is no issue with the on and off thing. When the lever is on, there is plenty of it coming through and when off, its off. However, i do get the smell of fuel / fumes etc when its on. ...

Should my 912 have two horns? I.e one underneath each wheel arch? It certainly has one under the right hand side wing but nothing under the left. It does have two wires hanging out down there and just wondered what they are there for?... can anyone shed any light onto it? thanks in advance. Del. htt...
