More modern stuff, scooted to just south of Glasgow today for some Scottish fun and roads, hideous rain in the Lakes, Boxster just went through it all without any drama at a good speed.
Heck of a machine here too!

Only got 33 mpg. :wink:

That looks pretty grim should have been changed before. I use the braided on my cars but still check them every so often

Personally, I would change the lot, bleed the system, and you are good for years.

Braved the cold and popped down to the opening of Caffeine & Machine.
Nice varied mix of cars, interesting place with loads of potential.
Hope it does well as it develops and fully opens, especially as its just 20 minutes away :wink:

But you know what you are doing! I've done one then I will use for a bit to ensure I haven't made it worse

Received a couple of 'correct' decals for my new dizzy cap all the way from Mexico City.....

....Manuel always packages his items so wonderfully (a bit like an Apple product but with heart) that I've kept every single envelope and parcel he's ever sent me; a wonderful guy :) .....

While everyone else is touring, I spent a few frustrating hours in the garage with the Boxster.
A/C rad leaking, so full strip and change the rads etc.

Was sent correct rads, sent correct DISC, sent wrong O rings...

Dash to OPC Wolverhampton and they had some, dashed back, hit a DEEP pothole in torrential rain and ruptured a 1/2 worn tyre. Friggin county council :evil:

Ready to re-charge now before I put the bumper back on tomorrow.

Rubbish jammed in both sides ridiculous, plus an acorn which I will keep as a memento.

£140 so far, re-charge about £85 and it is all done.
OPC quote £1100 apparently!

So much plastic in modern cars.
