DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

I looked at this car about 4 years ago before I bought my blue one. At the time the owner lived near Leighton Buzzard, Buckinghamshire and the car was offered at £5,500. It hadn't been used much for the previous few years and didn't have an MOT. It was leaking fuel, and had a severe "clonk"...

whats the rubber seal called incase i need a new one

I tried Halfords 12 months ago but found they didn't do them any more. In the end I bought a pair of 5" diameter spots from my local motor factors. They had been in stock for years and I got them for £20.

I didn't realise you wanted both either. What you want to do is entirely feasible as the harness bar is bolted into the upper belt mounting points.

Yes, I guess under normal circumstances I would have done but due to some rather unexpected events at the beginning of the year, it just got forgotten

The distributor is a CAN SVDA with Petronix electronic ignition, but I doubt very much if that is the culprit. If it is a complete mis-fire on one bank, check the throttle linkage is still OK. However, the most likely culprit is dirt in the carb as I suffered a similar problem last year - the 48 DRL...

They were available ex stock for your friendly Porsche dealer 12 months ago - tried them? (£30 ish if memory serves)
