Thanks for the reply’s and sorry for the lengthy delay in getting back to all. I’m back online and home for 9 weeks so it’s straight up to the garage after I do the school run yippee .

Hi now that my 911TV 73 is finally on the road the solid old rubber bushes need replacing. My question is Is there a sequence of which to replace first. Which bushes have the most benefit when changed to new. Which are the easy ones and which hard to replace. Many thanks Oh yes this is the car that ...

Surviving - just.

Many thanks to everyone . Thanks for the gaskets. This problem has caused a great deal of stress and money over the past year. It did however make me learn new skills and take me passion and resilience to new limits. A journey indeed. Thank you all again. Kind regards Michael

Cheers for the info. I managed to get the left exchanger off the car and sure enough there was loads of old oil a gunge in the bottom of the exchanger all the way to the end of the rear of it. I gave it a blast with the car wash lance . Straight away I could now see that the unit is not an airtight ...

Midnight mad question time. What is the best tool to remove the 13mm nuts from the studs of the heat exchanger. I’ve got the Allen key ones off just couldn’t find a bendy tool to remove the other nuts. I’m in the race against time before I get locked down in the lock up lol

Sorry lol. Should I replace the heat exchanger gaskets and rear box gasket when refitting heat exchanger . Cheers . Oh and where is best to get the gaskets thanks .

Cheers for that. Can’t wait to get home and get cracking with the job

Wow thanks for that . I had to use extinguisher when it first happened but luckily the flames were kept at bay. Thank you for sharing 911T black from Denmark . I’ve now got the plan . Take the heat exchangers off clean all oil from inside and use heat gun. To make sure all smoke is gone . Do I reall...

The oil leak from the bottom covers was fixed with new gaskets so no current oil leak. I’m not keen on drilling into my ss exchangers so il just whip them off and give them a clean . Can’t be that difficult they were only put on a couple of years ago.

Last time I was out in her the smoke was coming in footwell passengers side with fan on . Ah ha by Jove I think we’re onto something lol. I’m sure removing the heat exchanger will be no easy task but at least I now have a task and perhaps the beginning of a plan to bring this to an end. Thanks

Taking my car to the nearest specialist is a no go lol. The more I’m thinking about the oil in the heat exchanger the more it makes sense . Il take the ss off and give them a good clean . Would u recommend that I put the old set of heat exchangers back on as they’re already clean ? . Thanks this has...

Mmm oil in the heat exchanger. Where would the smoke come out if oil inside right heat exchanger?. Can I just take the exchanger off and clean it out ?

Thanks for ur help so far Cheers
