Re: Which Engine Oil?

Million thanks to all of you, I thought I might get a few answers but seems it's a bigger topic that I'd imagined. I was keen to get it right as my engine cost a 5 figure sum to rebuild (which is not unusual) so I'm keen to minimise wear. as I spoke to Paul at PRS as they built my engine (which is f...

Which Engine Oil?

Hi, apologies to ask a question that probably pops up monthly but I’m trying to figure out what engine oil I should run in my car. It’s a 356c and has just been fully rebuilt. There are various threads on the 356 Registry but they seem to go on about various letters and codes other than the weight s...

Re: Gear stick lock key missing

Sierra Madre in California can take it apart and make a key for it. There might be someone in the Uk but I couldn't find anyone. Sierra madre can re build the lock with the original coade of your car if you want tobe super pedantic on the detail.

Re: Gear stick lock key missing

Hi, you do need a key to get the lock out unless you can get the pin out thats below, (which simply means removing the gear shift assembly - which is just a couple of bolts but there is a small amount of adjustment so mark where the gearshift assembly sits on the tunnel.) I had a key made for a lock...

Re: Porsche 356Sc fan cowl paint codes

I spent ages trying to track down the same info. In the end my engine was rebuilt by PRS which included getting the tinware re painted. I'm fairly certain they don't powder coat them, but prefer to get them enamel sprayed. Never then less I've got a full RAL colour book so will try and let you know ...
