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: 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. ...

Re: Removing front pads

Drift or flattened off nail does the job equally as well. The spring can ping out too so watch out.
