  1. PM Sent. Assume still for sale. I'd got the wrong one in my head. Sorry.
  2. Just bought some Magnetti Marelli H4 12V Yellow P43t 60/55W bulbs from eBay - hmmm what could possibly go wrong, I'll report back.
  3. For anyone else interested in this, from the above post of Dr Rock, I then noticed this which does mention Porsche 911 in France. Unfortunately they are sold out, but it has much better photos of what it's doing. Requires teh crimping lip to be there on the H4 lamp (maybe not all have these) in order for the yellow bulb cover to hold firm. https://www.rebelcar.fr/headlight-bulb-h4-with-yellow-globe-12v-55-60w.htm
  4. Thanks I'll ask if they would fit the halogen bulb H 4 12V-60/55 W bulbs. Not sure it's the right shape. I've got the yellow paint, but it looks a bit sad once it's faded a bit and you can see the streaks...
  5. Given the car is yellow, I thought about fitting yellow Bosch headlight glass, but maybe that's too much 'yellow'. So, I was looking for the yellow 'continental' bulbs part number 99963120291. However, they all now seem out of stock from the usual suspects. Any ideas please?
  6. Hi there, has this sold? As we're in West Sussex, perhaps we should meet up(!)

    Battery

    Coiuld it also be the crankcase sensor, I seem to remember that this can corrode and then fail to providef a reading, and the car won't start.
  8. Thanks, it's 1987 Carrera non-sport L10W SW combo (sunshine yellow and mahogany leather)
  9. Success! But not quite as I expected. On a 3.2, or at least mine, you can't find the wire by scrambling around behind the heater duct and blower, and yes, no point in removing the side carpeted panel (too late). I bent up a metal coat hanger, but this didn't work as the one we had was too thick, so I used some thin race car wire used to attach nuts to bolts etc... that was bendy enough. Fashioned a paper clip type hook on the end and went fishing... I couldn't tell where it came from, seems to be a small wire (brown and white) held inside an insulated protective plastic sleeve on both sides as shown in the photo. Done. Thanks all!
  10. Thanks, now it's not raining, I will have a look this afternoon...
  11. Thanks, yes there's a blower and the hose. I'll try fishing it out first...
  12. Thanks for that. So is the wire coming 'up' not down then, I assume... OK, thanks - the void you talk about is got at by removing the triangle of carpet in the foot well that butts up against the door pillar?
  13. So as part of a general tidy up, I decided to get the interior lights to work when you open the doors. The actual lights in the roof work when you push them, but not when you open the doors themselves. Taking care (and Bentley manual says) not to drop the wire when you unscrew the switch, I did that only to be greated by no wire on the end of the switch. I removed the carpet piece (3 screws) by the door, thinking I'd be able to get at the pillar there, but no joy. So how do I retrieve the wire from the hole where the switch used to be in the door frame? Does the wire come from above the hole, or from below? Failing that, any ideas how I get the wire so I can re-connect a new switch on both sides, I am imagining that both have suffered the same fate from years ago before my time. I did a quick search here on IB, and someone mentioned having to take the dash vents on the dashboard sides out by unclipping them, and then rooting around behind the air hose to get the wire.... I'd rather not be doing any of that Many thanks.
  14. Thanks for that all, I'd forgotten you need to start fitting aerials for the DAB... stuff that, so will leave 'as is' and put the money towards some new tyres.... Thanks again.
  15. OK, didn't know it's been out for a year.... Thanks. Is it just a straight swap at the back plus a DAB aerial somehow with little additional hassle if you're just replacing a Toronto unit? Asking for a friend
  16. Saw a tweet from Chris Harris linked to new Blaupunkt Bremen, updated for DAB and Bluetooth. It's about £400 on Amazon. Looks like it would be a swap for the old one in my '87 3.2. I wondered if anyone had taken the plunge...? https://www.blaupunkt.com/en/nc/products/car-multimedia/car-radio/products/single/19059/
  17. I wish I knew! Mine's a non-sport, no spoiler.
  18. Well... mine is ***2887 at the end, 6 cars away from yours registered on the same day.
  19. I have this many thanks. It's not that. It's that next to '911' on the sticker is printed '331'... So you get: Line 1: (1) Vehicle Ident No / chassis number Line 2 (2) the model '911', and same line (3) model description '331' Line 3 (4) engine code and transmission code, then Line 4 (5) Paint code ('L10W' Sunshine Yellow), and interior trim ('SY' Part leather mahogany...hmm...) and then finally Line 5 (6) all the option codes which I have as a block of 5 items per line. It's '331' which isn't anything to do with the options as far as I can tell.
  20. I think 330 is the cassette specification Toronto SQR46 as per options. What I was after, as 331 is not in the option list for the car but in the Description is what is the model description for Non-Sport that is on the paper sticker - it's not clear and isn't mentioned in any search.
  21. I am expecting this to be Non-Sport, but not sure what this actually includes as part of the car. I've seen the option list, but not what 331 comes with. I am assuming it's no spoilers front / rear, teledials. Was anything else 'standard'? Sorry for the ask, but having disinterred the car from it's hibernation (50 miles in 5 years), I'm wanting to find out a bit more about it...
  22. Just as an odd comment, I looked up the tyres for a 1987 non-sport model which has 15" tele-dials, and it says that from 1987, they weren't fitted with 185/70VR15 but 195/65VR15 instad, but same rears (215/60VR15). Go figure, anyone have anything fitted that resembles that? Asking for a friend...
  23. Thanks, I think I'll have to go and look! However, am I right that both a 7J and an 8J would take a 215/60 tyre? I assume it's an offset issue then. Phil, yes, you are right - I think they were being cautious and telling me they'd been on since 2006
  24. I have nw ben informed that my tyres are too old by the MOT station. As it's an opportunity to put something else than P6000s on I have been thinking of CR6ZZs but I am having difficulty finding out the 911 Teledial widths as it doesn't mentioned them specifically in the handbook. I am assuming they are 6J front, and 7J rear? Can someone please confirm please before I have to go outside (boo hoo) and take them off the car...
  25. Just seen this on GumTree...http://www.gumtree.com/p/other-car-parts-accessories/classic-vw-beetle/1102607107
