DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

Thanks, gents. Seems like there are a few things to check. I will reply back if I find anything or can replicate the issue with more details.

Thank you

Hi James, Thank you for replying. I'll take a look again tomorrow but I don't think any connectors have come loose. It was all put together well during the restoration. I do occasionally get a popping sound from the exhaust once the car has warmed up. Giulio at Gary Cook's said this was the case whe...

Thanks for replying. It was not misfiring, just losing power. Accelerator pedal was down quite a way in second gear and I would have expected quite high revs (5k or so) but it just wouldn’t pick up and started jerking. It is a standard 2.4E engine with MFI and a Classic retrofit CDI+ and original bl...

Thanks for replying. I had filled the tank with Esso Super and added the Porsche Classic Fuel Additive last October. I know Esso were going to start adding Ethanol to their Super around year end 2023 but not sure if the tank I filled had any Ethanol in it. Also seems odd that I managed to drive 140 ...

Hello, First drive of the year for me today (in the rain). It was a 140 mile round trip. Car started and drove well all the way out and 95% of the way back home. A couple of miles away from home the car felt like it was losing power and started to judder a bit. I pulled over and alternator light was...

Hi Dave,
If the original door pull you need is the same as that on a 73, speak to Gary Cook. I bought a batch of these, kept a couple and sold the rest to him to use on his restorations.
Kind regards

Hi Andy,
I used Meyle 440 160 3840 when I had my car stored and they have been fine since then. Not too strong to push up the bonnet near the hinge and I have not had any issues with the lid dropping either. They are £15.22 on eBay
Kind regards

Great news, Andy.

Hi Brendan,
I have seen it before, but that picture on the beach is lovely. Great to hear you will be getting to spend more time with your car. I look forward to doing the same when I get older.
Kind regards
Gitesh

Hi Mark,
Gary Cook stamped mine. Check with him if you haven’t already.
Kind regards

Hi,
Carpoint sell them. Search on their site for rear light reflector.

Not really a Porsche but here is a video of a flat four working model. Oddly satisfying to watch…

Hi Chris, You could repair what you have or just make a new central loom. I would recommend the latter. You will need to remove the old one, measure the size of each strand with a micrometer/callipers and count the number of strands. This will give you the cross sectional area of each wire. Order re...

Looks lovely. Well done for all your hard work.

Was the Bilstein jack added at the factory or dealer? It seems like these varied around dates too.
