It is an odd colour and changes a lot under different light.

Two Boxster surprises...
First was Engine Coolant light came on.
Took 3 pints to get the level right.
There may be trouble ahead.
Second was looking for front brakes for the car.
Design911 come in at about £280 for a pagid kit.
OPC quoted £670....just for parts.
My Skoda Superb needs front brakes, quoted by my very local garage Brembo, supplied and fitted for £261.

Swapped 40IDF Webers for pair of rebuilt/refreshed 44IDFs from Gary Berg in SoCal – what a difference! Great idle, no backfiring on the overrun and much better throttle response. Love it!

Check the boot carpet Graham. It is fairly common for coolant caps to fail and for coolant reservoirs to crack...911hillclimber wrote:Two Boxster surprises...

Re: What did you do in/on/for your Porsche today?
It's dry Wayne.
I am getting advice from Boxster owners over on PCGB, so will start with the blue cap on the engine, but not sure if the 987.2 suffers from the split tank, worth a good look for sure.
I fear it is the alloy tubes by the rack...
Modern Porsches have weak spots in their design.

Really sorry to hear that! It's something that all of us who have our cars garaged away from home fear. Bastards.
