Re: 996 Turbos

Check all suspension, all brakes and lines and all coolant pipes and rads. All fail and all are relatively expensive to sort. At that mileage I'd like to see lots of bills for things already replaced/sorted. I ran a 996 Turbo as a daily back in the early 2000's. It's still the only car that made me ...

Re: Off topic watch chat for the horologists out there

It’s been a different ‘world’ for modern Rolex last 5 years. Demand rocketed as everyone thought they could make money on them, a 1000 new ‘dealers’ entered the market pumping up prices between themselves and supply could not cope and authorised dealers used the opportunity to sell more stuff they’d...

Porsche ranked least reliable car

Just sharing article from today. Thought some may find it interesting. I’ve certainly found model 996 onwards to be very expensive to maintain if you actually drive them all year round. https://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/cars/article-11512169/Porsche-named-unreliable-car-brand-ahead-Land-Rover.html...

The only advantage of electric cars I can see is that it's impossible to bodge repair the oil pipes!!! :evil: :evil: :evil: :lol:

Re: The cost of filling up your car ...

Just wait until all the free taxes and incentives to currently have electric go and they start taxing them through the roof when they realise they are using up so much non renewable energy to run the bloody things and the volume of mining for batteries cant keep up anywhere near whats needed to prod...

Re: Ken Block's latest video...

The best thing about that video is the Dead Kennedys playing the closing credits!

Nice visuals but by god electric cars are dull as dishwater to listen to.

Mind you I find the making of the Hoonigan films usually much more interesting than the actual finished product. Hope they do one of this…..

New Car Woes - 1...Update

Just curious Jason, but from the info on the thread, Alan stated that the job they did (a braised repair) was not the bodge you found (rubber hose bridging a 3" gap). Have any more facts come to light to support the actual turn of events? That’s the only repair to the pipe in the sills Graham....
