Good day today, henley regatta and my first day of porsche hunting as a serious potential customer.
Saw 4 cars, and as my mechanical knowledge is somewhere between non existant and childish humour involving 'big ends' I have a few questions for you knowledgeble people;
Saw a 964 C4 that has bee modified; during an engine rebuild the power has been increased from 250bhp to about 300bhp - firstly, i presume I will have to inform my insurers of this but how much extra is this likely to cost me? (given that i'm 22 and live in Liverpool)
Also a 964 C4 with idling problems, stalls a few times on removal from garage and then again when warm. I'm told by the owner that its an idling valve problem from sitting still for a few months and that a £15 replacement will see it fine. Is this possible/true?
I'm sure I had another but i've been up since 5am and it's gone right out of my head so if anyone has been patient enough to read this far and has any thoughts i'd be very grateful.
Cheers
Will
