Hi All Sorry for slow reply on this topic but have only just discovered what the probelm has been with my targa top fitting into the boot - The rubber mounts , fitted to the rear panel , at some time in the past, have been removed and refitted incorreclty - 180 degrees wrong actually , so that the '...

Hi Moggy Aopologies for slow reply - My car is a completely standard, road going 1.8, and I was just considering something for normal road use . I guess the standard Boge set up would be much better than the worn and well used components I'm looking at on the car at present. I should probably go thr...

Thanks for the smart responses guys.
Looks like I need to check the struts before I start to look for a replacement caliper ! [ Thanks for that info. Kev ]
I'll look over the weekend and report back .

Andrew - likewise, despite making a note of your number on Friday night in preparation ! Sadly I missed the JK car in action too - I think it only ran in the morning, whilst I was ''rummaging around'' in the show itself. I too saw JK with Andy Prill and Lee Maxted-Page - real Porsche fans. I saw the...
