DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

Hi Robster - I got mine from OPC nottingham - wasn't any problem when I phoned up and spoke to Kevin in the parts department It came with some spare blades as well which I hadn't appreciated when I ordered it (I ordered some extra ones). Now idea how it differs from the pelican one or the porschshop...

My car's later, so could be variations but on my door panels the gotchas were:- 1. There is a circular central locking knob - the centre part prizes out leaving a screw that can be undone 2. the door pull is connected to the opening metal mechanism by a metal rod with a hook at the end - this had to...

Any lowering planned?

OK thanks Tim - I'm going to do a re-adjust this coming week-end - on reading other people's posts I reckon I've got a combination of 1. me stressing out and imagingin I'm hearing my crank exploding, 2. me not being used to hearing a 911 engine in the cold (4 months with a nissan micra does your hea...

Thanks Tim - can you point me to somewhere that shows me where they are - and how I should clear them

i'll have a look through some of those posts as well

Cheers

Got my car back recently (3.2 engine) - it's not been run since 5th September and I got it back just over a week ago. The Garage checked all the levels and off I went. Ran OK for a few days but then started to notice what I thought was a tappet noise - like a drummer hitting the edge of a drum. Got ...

I've had something very similar on my 3.2 - tried lot of things but stupidly it came down to a sticking throttle linkage - bit of lube & it was good as new. I sussed it out by the fact that I could drop the revs by pulling the throttle up instead of down, and also when I did the same sort of thr...

colour was Marine Blue Metallic.

At the risk of being an anorak I think it was Diamond Blue metallic- my own car used to be that colour

I also used Rutherford and found them good to deal with and good bumpers

Mark, thanks a million for those images - I've printed a montage to take down the garage with me tomorrow

Cheers

Yes please - that would be absolutely brilliant - I popped down to the garage today and thankfully they hadn't started putting the light in yet.

I've ordered two proper ones now and they'll fit them when they arrive so a picture would be brilliant thanks

Cheers

Ignore this please - just ordered them from Roger Bray
