Why would you want a manual these days in anything other than sporty little number. I like to sit back relax and let my big fat, diesel A7s auto do all the work.
Modern autos are miles ahead of what they use to be.

Re: Witches brews for cleaning inside of screens?
Isn't Cif, Jiff, etc abrasive? Not sure I'd want to scrub my glass with that.

Re: Witches brews for cleaning inside of screens?
I've tried all sorts, though just ordered some isopropyl alcohol based on the suggestions here. Cleaning the glass in 911 is not problematic and lasts well. I find it more noticeable in the rest of our family fleet or newer vehicles. Initially the glass cleans very well, no smears or hazing. Then th...

Re: Carrera 3.2 continued emissions / idle misery...
Where is the 02 sensor on a 3.2? Mine has definitely never had one, its an 88 also, is yours a US car?
Mine usually needs a bit of MOT trickery to get the emission correct. More so these days as it's getting on a bit.

Re: opinions about chopping off heat exchangers
Angle grinder, reciprocating saw and dremel, I would have thought cutting debris wouldn't be a problem. You could always rotate the crank like you are doing the valve clearances to ensure the exhaust port you are working on is closed.

Re: opinions about chopping off heat exchangers
Yep, if you plan to bin em, cut the hell out of them.
Once off you can see the state of the studs. You mind still need to renew some as they can go a bit like brittle twiglet where they pass through the flange of the heat exchanger.

Re: 993 Windscreen Leak
You could try squeezing some non setting sealant in. ain't going to do any harm. Assuming they not the bonded in type.
If it's leaking into the cabin then it sounds like it could have rusted through maybe? Hopefully not.

Re: O/T Road bike recommendations
Have you considered a hybrid or are definitely sold on a road bike? Just thinking a hybrid might be more suited to a touring/holiday cycle, if you want to take in the French scenery without having backache and all that? They still perform pretty much like a road bike, just a touch more comfortable. ...
