ok thanks will give that a try... Now to find it!

Hunting at idle and (bizarrely) high emissions can also be caused by an air leak. From what I read there's some gubbins in there that reacts to a weak tickover and prevents the engine from stalling - so it stands to reason that's the thing that could cause high emissions. Where do I look for the ai...

It could just be burning off some oil. What’s the mileage / has it been rebuilt / when was the oil last changed or topped up and did the person who did it know how to do it on a 911? If it’s just been sat or is a smidge overfilled a proper hour’s hard drive might solve it. Thanks for the suggestion...

I just imported a 3.2 Carrera from Jersey where there's no MOT and on its first MOT in the UK the CO emissions are way too high. I asked if this is just on idle and they said "no" but I'm not taking that as gospel. What's the protocol for dealing with this? On another note the engine somet...

The car looks great! Congratulations on eventually getting through the DVLA process - it has been a pain for the last two years, with understaffing, Covid shutdowns and then, as you say, strikes. Things are still far from normal, so it's great that you can finally enjoy the car. Sand Beige looks fa...

Hi, I'm a total noob in this regard. Anyhow, I've bought a restomod with five all black genuine Fuchs wheels. I'n no fan of all black wheels and I want to up the ~chrome (polished metal) on the car generally. What's the best way to approach de-painting the Fuchs, or would you advise against doing so...

This may be terrible or actually quite interesting. It’s only 20 mins from me so I’m going. https://www.grimsthorpe.co.uk/events/festival-of-the-unexceptional-saturday-31-july-2021/ https://www.hagerty.co.uk/articles/events-articles/festival-of-the-unexceptional/hagertys-festival-of-the-unexception...

Is it just me that is a little fed up with the number of Non porsche in the cars for sale section? i know it is a very good source of selling a car for in effect free advertising but is it possible to have a sub section for non porsche cars. its a little tiring scanning through to see past the &quo...

Dang I just bought a pair off ebay with fairly tatty rubber.

Is that better? it's a bit fiddly getting Dropbox images to link. https://www.dropbox.com/s/ykpawtm1lgeti76/car.jpg?raw=1 Its gorgeous! Albert blue, same (factory original) color as mine!

Let's see if this works. These are the missing items, highlighted on the side they're not missing.:

I bought some original RHD headlights to go into my 1970 911T US import, but one of them has a couple of missing parts - are any of these available? They're both from the same side and they're the mountings either side of the internal reflector. Firstly, a long bolt whose centre section is a spring ...

If you have time available, there's a video on YouTube of an original dash being filled and recovered in vinyl. It looked pretty good in the end but I don't know how long it lasted. If I treied it, I think I'd cover with grp to hold it all together first. But I'd probably just buy new to be fair as ...

^ This. Happy to come over to Lichfield and look over it with you and offer some thoughts if you decide to keep it as it is for now. Kings Lynn is a bit far! :) That's a really kind offer - but then I wouldn't get to drive it anywhere!! Maybe we meet up half way :) Most likely I'll get it roadworth...
