Tune-up

Can anyone recomend a good tune-up place.

My car has been set up OK but on a new engine and after running in and a year on feel it would benefit from a decent tune up, rolling road etc.

South-east England, South London, Sussex area preferably.

Any good experiences / recomendations please.

is this an insurance job

All depends where you go and what you want at the end of the day. Repair or replace. I have recently bought 2008/9 the whole lot ie bumper £500 approx if you can get a good metal one, aluminium surround £130. Rubber £50.00/£75-.00. Sourced on Ebay. Spray approx £150.00 on a decent bumper without muc...

Seats

HI Had my originals redone recently went to a firm in Leicester they are experienced in Porsche seats (old ones) as I believe they have done a few before where the problem exists. Cant remeber their names I'll have to seek out their bill heading if you need it, unless someone else has their name. Th...

So - Who has the right of way

Is'nt in Holland that there are funny signs in the high streets,(think they have three lines accross them) which indicate the drivers joining the high street/main road, have the right of way say from a side road??? That keeps the speed down and the concentration up. The question on motorways as said...

Garge security

Do you live within earshot of the garage.

The police do a natty sensor alarm which is remote so you can have the alarm inyour property with the sensor in the garage. Suppose it works on the same basis as the lighting swithch.

Cost me here in Kent £15.00

Steve

PS Could use it on a shed as well.

Right of Way

On questioning many at the station they all said the same thing, a joiner would be hard pressed to defend a position of joining without care and attention. Likewise this does not mean a driver on the motorway can act agressively in narrowing a gap to stop a driver joining, I'm sure we have all seen ...

Right of way

I think the answer given is sensible but as the motorway is the main road and there are three poss. four lanes to consider the joiner should be the one taking responsibility. The broken lines on entry do mean its not a stop sign but it would be impossible for the joineru to know whats happening acro...

Fuel Tank Sender

The fuel guage on my 911E moves between 3/4 and 1/4 full depending on what would seem as angles of the car. Consequently I'm always refuelling to ensure I'm not running out. The annoying warning light will always flash at you as well. Has anyone solved this as a problem, presumably there must be a f...
