Interesting observation.
I needed a small part & I realised it was raided from the VW parts bin so shopped about.

Confused. Have you built an ark, to save the car when the rains come?

Re: What did you do in/on/for your Porsche today?
It's a lovely day in the North West so I drove into work making the last of the MOT which runs out on Saturday!
As I haven't used it for a few weeks the amount of smoke from the oil burning off the heat exchangers was slightly concerning...

Re: What did you do in/on/for your Porsche today?
Glorious day here so just spent an hour and a half blasting around empty country roads.
Now back to wash the orange beastie and do the same in that tonight.
Love deciding when to work and when not

Re: What did you do in/on/for your Porsche today?
Sent alternator off to be refurbished. Ran across a company called 'Alternatorman' (http://www.alternatorman.co.uk who, on eBay, say they will collect your alternator, repair/refurbish it, and return it to you in three days for £90... The only other quote I got was for over £200 + VAT. It's an early Motorola type, so costly to replace if available. Sent a photo of the unit and got instant reply saying it was no problem. Collected tomorrow, so hopefully back beginning of next week. Will be interested to see what it's like – all repairs guaranteed for 12 months.
Also received wiring kit to completely rewire car from scratch – original loom was crap. Oh, and also got a box of little bits and pieces for the engine. Happy days. Or Happy Daze.
