With the help of a few swear words adjusted the dash board heater control cables to the ducting/housing, pesky task.
Had to make a short 7mm a/f open spanner...such fun.

The fan top slider now traverses across to all the fan positions, but the other two do not stop positively, but there is a lot of lost motion in the arrangement.
Today is the right climate to test it after coffee!

Just need to get the headlamps aligned and the To Do list is done for 2019. :)
Until next month... :roll:

Unpacked the car from winter hibernation - started straight off with fresh fuel, but on visual checks found fuel pi**ing from the line between mfi pump and filter. Braided line which was not that old - amazing how much fuel was coming out. Quick drop into my local guy who had another fitted in 30 mins (getting the line into the pump is v fiddly). Charged me a tenner! Off to get rear child seat from GavP tomorrow and belts fitted in the back by SBS on Monday ready for some family friendly summer action. The little boy is v excited, perhaps not as much as his Dad :o))

Went to Goodwood too.

Discovered that the spoiler on my SC is particularly useful for stopping your cardboard box of chips from blowing away in the stiff Goodwood breeze.

There were some other minor Porsches around.

Did my first major drive of the year, down to Kilkenny for the PCI Annual Dinner, had a great drive on the Saturday round the South East corner of Ireland, starting with a bit of a charge round a local kart track

Image

Followed up by the climb and even better descent of the Nine Stones

Image

There was one of the PS Le Mans Edition machines there as well, tidy machine

Image


All great craic, about 400 miles all in, aided by the occasional pint of Kilkenny ale Image
