Out for a drive over the N Y moors tonight,top down,22',fucking thing starts mis-firing Got home an hour ago after calling out the recovery truck at 6.30.
Hope it's nothing serious,think it's possibly a coil gone. They have 6 IIRC.
Bollox.

 

What kind of Porsche?

 

Mine,99 2.5 Boxster. Heap of shit at the moment.

 

fuck ,see all the shit you give your cossie too

 

get rid m8

 

I know mate,775 miles this weekend,90 miles on track and never missed a beat.

 

bout time the hair dresser mobile went mate .
Get yer self a nice family car ,like a Audi RS4,that should keep you entertained

 

ooooh rs4 or rs6 estate real german beast's

 

Having a rant now,they took from 6.30pm till 10.00pm to actually get me home. So i rang the Porsche specialists in Newcastle 8.30 this morning "no problem,get them to drop it off,but we close at 12 today for a family funeral",fair comment.
Ring up breakdown firm at 8.45,"Come and get the car,take it to Newcastle(an hour away BTW),must be there by 12pm"
Wagon turns up at 10.30,pushing it time wise.
Just got a call "the garage was closed when the recovery truck got there..."
I FUCKING TOLD YOU IT SHUT AT 12!!!!!!
So it's going to a "compound" tonight and getting delivered in the morning.....i hope they damage it in the meantime....
Sorry,rant over.

 

i work for porsche parts dept in colchester in essex if there is anything i can help with just pm me

 

Ooooh! Any discounts available? (knowing OPC's-no chance )

 

I serviced mine last weekend Plynchy, they have a coil pack for each cylinder and there is a 3 pin connector on each one. Maybe just loose - you might be lucky

 

I found that out when I serviced mine last week as well Alan

 

Do you even know where they are? (if you remember your PM when I bought mine?)

 

It's in Newcastle apparently. ABSOLUTELY CANNOT get throught o the garage at all,constantly engaged
And now the Cossie is fooked as well!!

 

Lol at Porkie Do you know where the engine is?

 

Not a clue, I do know that if you take the engine cover off on mine and leave the roof up and thrash the tits of it, it sounds sooo mad and soooooo loud it makes your ears bleed!

Have you got induction kits on yours yet? they sound wicked.

 

Mine's getting nowt spent on it mate as it's getting sold soon, hopefully.

 

Fitted a K+N, not done much else apart from driving it
Been fantastic the last few weeks with the hot weather

 

I'd never sell mine. 5 years of loyal service, never let me down, the only car I've ever owned that always makes me smile. I will retire the car to my mum rather than ever sell it

 

BUGGER!
It's not a coil. Looks like a valve has gone! 5 comp. ratios are OK,one has none. No head gasket failure,have had a long chat to the mechanic,and he thinks one of the exhaust valves has blown(holed). Looking at Ł100 ish in parts but Ł100's in labour,and they can't do it for a fortnight.

 

A valve! wow, never heard of that!

 

Bad shit paul,thought they where prety much bullit proof them porkers

 

Rear oil seal is the only problem I know of on early engines, Gutted for him

 

Paul, shit news m8, what about bringing it back to stockton (I know someone with a car trailer ) and taking it to nelson's they would be a fair bit cheaper labour wise.
whats up with the cossie?
