911 fought back but I won in the end.
New/clean/more earth straps, new plugs
Fingers crossed.
Decided to change the oil for SPA. Drained ok came to the filter where the battle was declared.
I have NEVER EVER EVER had a filter refuse to come of 'normally'
I think I've changed the oil on this car about 30+ times, no probs, bash a sharp screwdriver through and gently twist.
today thought i would use my snazzy Porsche Filter removing tool.
What a load of tat. Did nothing, but it is good for doing the filter up later.
The can eventually gave up and i cut it all off with tin-snips and made an extraction 'tool' which worked a treat.
ME: 1
911: NILL, Zippo.
13 litres later the engine humms and the level is 1/2 way.
See how it drives Sunday.
Chickened out of checking the gearbox level. will ask SVP to do it when it is on their ramp.
Big glass of Red is downstairs.
