I have enjoyed this thread enormously - thank you. Congrats for getting her back on the road - another one saved.

Thanks really enjoying it.

Yes ditto from me!

I see you've put a new head-unit in, what please did you do (if anything) regarding DAB signal? Thanks

I'm not very happy with DAB reception, never been able to get it working properly in any car I have had. In south London most stations work, Surrey, North London, Essex & M25 pretty poor reception.

At the moment I have a screen Arial but I have an external one I might try, didn't really want to just thinking of where to put it so not to interfere with a car cover.

Front Shocks

Next on my to do list was a slight knock from the front left when turning right, we found the shock had some play in the piston.

So I purchased a new set of OEM Bilstein shocks from Type911 being round the corner from us.

We plugged the Durametric to test a few thing and found the left front fans were not working and the right low speed fan did not work. Seeing The wheels were off we took the wheel liner out and found the left fan connector was loose, both fans worked after pushing the connector back in.

The right fan turned out to be the a bad resistor. Purchased a couple from EBay soldered the wires at both ends and screwed into place, not sure what happened to the finished picture.

Wiring loom and Battery tray tidy up

After seeing the mess of leaves either side of the battery and lack of loom tape, we decided to clean it all up.
