Ha, this is too nice to drive as a road car Paul. Have never had a non competition Porsche in the road so liking the relative quiet and comfort. Must be getting old....

Re: What did you do in/on/for your Porsche today?
After changing points, condenser and putting new fuel in the problem was still there. I decided to found Jack Staggs advice and remove the leads out from the distributor cap one by one. The RPM didn't change when I removed no 1 but it was still sparking. Then removed the lead from the plug and checked it was sparking on the metalware. Fitted a new plug. Saw the rpm did not react to no 1 being removed.
However, the car still wasn't running right. I had installed the points with too tight a gap. I backed it off and it was running nicely again.
I think I've got a leak from my oil filter cannister. Not the threads but the actual cannister. Anyone had that before?

Re: What did you do in/on/for your Porsche today?
With the new tyres fitted I have been putting some miles on the engine. Keeping to 3k revs for now so only tickling it, but it’s fantastic to drive. Despite being fairly low with the RS geo and ride height it is remarkably comfortable to drive

I did about 80 miles today with no particular place to go, all back lanes plodding and getting to know the car

Excellent
We did the same 6m ago, with Barney the chocolate cockapoo joining our pack. It’s been great for the whole family in lots of ways. Stanley looks a very handsome fella
