The only other things I have had done is having one of the rear struts replaced because of a squeaky bush!

Any any advice would be appreciated

Replace the other one too

Definitely get the wheel alignment/ steering geometry done.

I drove a Cayman today. Time for a change?

Think OC was referring to rear window and spoiler on the cayman resembling the window and handle on the cooker

You going to paragon today Kim?

The brakes seem like they are not very good as they don't have a powerful servo.

However try braking from 150 down to 0 and believe me, they work a treat!

(however, don't try this if your brakes really aren't working!)

Hi all

It's renewal time for me, thought I would make a change from the "who should I call" thread and post up a couple of companies that were amazingly cheap and (hopefully) offer a good package.

Might seem strange mentioning two companies but they were both very competitive and sound like they are brokering the same policy.

I have a list lof companies that I call at renewal time and started making my way through, my renewal for the 996tt had come through at £805 but as I am planning to modify the car was expecting this to rise.

Was shocked initially to be getting quotes of £1,500 - £2,000 but then amazed to get a £625 and then a £611, both covered the mods and both offered up to 5 track days with a reasonable xs.

Prices are probably irrelevant as everyone's circumstances are different but I was amazed at the differences in price for my case.

Anyway, thought I would mention them both in case they are of use when you come to renew.

Matthew at Henderson Taylor - 0161 437 7442

Martin at Competition Car Insurance - 0115 968 2414 (usually on the phone but does call you back when you leave a message)

Both really nice guys and very helpful.

Kind regards

Dave

Okay, Ballers, perhaps Cam and I haven't been clear enough in the past. This sort of techno babble won't be tolerated, please keep your complex mechanical comments to mechanicalmindedgreasyfingeredtypes.com. Our feeble Porsche cleaning minds can't compute this kind of complex data. I have no idea how I haven't been seriously ripped off by mechanics in the past....

Link above gone but go to findaporsche.com which is Phil Rabys trading website and take a look. Right up Dom's street as has been said but a very well priced WB IMO......

Also I helped a mate buy a car from Phil, top bloke, obviously a 911 legend and I have to be honest and say his cars are awesome and great value, never over priced....certainly IMO my buddy got a bargain.

It won't be there for long......

not quite all.

the ebay car (46,000 miles) is £58k on the dealer's website and £56k on ebay! n.b. this is the same car that was on PH at £50k in september.

sean lockyear's car (23,000 miles) is still showing as in stock at £57k.

Does your 993 have any outstanding factory recalls?

Booked mine in for "Replacement of horn with filter relay" recall next Friday with Leeds OPC -
anyone know what this entails as the they've asked for the car for two days ?? Sorry if I'm being thick but I'm assuming this is not the well documented wiring loom recall ??

Could you please elaborate a bit more on the horn & filter relay recall, ive got two 993s and have never heard of it, but would obviously like to get it done if it affects them

Many thanks

I thought I'd stopped dreaming about getting a 996 Turbo

Right colour, right spec, history= but look at the value for money/ 's per £.

Strange that there's no mention of FSH.

Coolant leak check whilst the weather is freezing

Just been outside to let the dogs out and noticed a small pool under the left hand rear of my car. The outside temperature must be at least minus 3 deg, so it must be anti-freeze, everything else would be frozen solid. Sure enough there is very slight weep from a hose/manifold clamp.
So for anyone niggled by slight coolant loss and can't find any obvious answer, get outside and have a look under your car whist its still below zero.
