Re: What did you do in/on/for your Porsche today?

Hi Neil, Something like this should work from your 6V system. Can't vouch for quality. Just make sure you run it from a fused 6V feed. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/355513957335?var=0&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&campid=5338268676&toolid=10044&customid=EAIaIQobChMIzMr...

Re: Clutch Problems

If it's not the clutch, check linkage bushes. They wear and/or go brittle and break. I had exactly these symptoms last year. Turned out to be the plastic cup that sits in the ball & socket joint beneath the gear stick. The cup had broken resulting in excessive play. Worth also checking the bushe...

Re: Alternator

Sounds fine to me. What's the voltage when the revs are at 2k?

Re: Another early S bites the dust

im surprised that gets a CAT B and must be broken, looks easily salvageable to me? Wondered that too. Was thinking about how intense the fire got and the extent of damage (burned out hoses, electrics, magnesium inferno, extent of structural damage, etc ...). Rear interior looks ok, so must have bee...

Re: my non-Porsche picture of the day

An interesting car for sale in the USA. 1969 AM DB6 for less than £99k. Not my thing but I’ve seen what these fetch at auction in top condition. Unusually this is in America but is RHD and still retains its UK registration number. Laid up for 30 years following a front end ‘tup’. Matching numbers, ...

ODB2 Scanner

Can anyone recommend a good ODB2 scanner? My wife's Honda CR-V is intermittently throwing multiple dash warnings (ABS, Stability, ..) and refusing to start. It doesn't even crank so clearly thinks there's a safety issue. Go back to it 15mins later and it starts and runs fine. It's not the battery, t...
