After nearly 3 years of Boxster ownership I have sold my 986S and bought a 2005 Cayenne S!
Reason for the change was a combination of my iffy back and also needing something to tow a horse trailer with occasionally. It isn't my daily driver so not worried about the fuel costs :what:
I've always done my own spannering however I've used Precision for alignment and bodywork on previous cars and they will be seeing the Cayenne soon...
I bought the Cayenne from its original owner who bought it from Colchester OPC. It had been maintained there throughout its life with no expense spared. Work completed recently of note include the all important coolant pipes, propshaft, air compressor and brakes all round. They hadn't really used the Cayenne much over the last year as kids had grown up so it was due some attention!
So far I have done oil and filter change, replaced tailgate and glass struts, replaced rattly waterpump and refreshed coolant, cleaned all the drains, replaced the fading instrument cluster LCD and refreshed the leather.
My to do list includes both diffs and transfer case fluid changes, fit towbar, clean the wheel arches and get the wheels refurbished.
The paintwork is heavily swirled so next week a mobile detailer is coming to do a paint correction. I don't mind a bit of polishing and I have a DA polisher but I think this is beyond my skill set especially as it is basalt black
I want a transmission fluid change done also but will book it in to Precision as I don't particular want to work underneath a running car that weighs 5000lbs on axle stands!
I've had the car a month and really enjoying it, especially as yesterday I did the bypass mod using stainless steel pipe and it now sounds like a V8 should
