  1. @Type911 Hi Matt, how much is this item? I cant find it with the part numbers listed above? Does it come with the filter? Can you put a link through please? Kind regards James
  2. Thanks very much Good idea, thanks for the dinitrol idea. Just need a picture and some dimensions now.
  3. Wayne you legend, If you've got an image with basic dimensions, that would be fab. I don't want to drive the wrong size self tapper into my freshly painted bodywork. Also, what are you planning on doing to prevent rust starting around this location as the self tapper takes the paintwork off as it goes in? Best, James Thanks Peter
  4. Sorry Peter, Let me try again 2 screws that hold item 25 to the lower bodyside
  5. Hello, My car has been in pieces a while and now that the bodywork is complete - I am into re-assembly. There are 2 fixings I've misplaced and cannot find them in the parts manuals. Do you lot know the part numbers or can you tell me the screw type? Many thanks, James
  6. Hi Folks, Ive got the G50/964 wheel on my 3.2 and the stitching has come away in some areas. I've heard you can 'just get a needle' and do it yourself. Are there any instructions on how one can do this? Or Is there someone here who could do it Or Is there someone you could recommend? Cheers, James
  7. Hello, I've got light wear on the drivers entry bolster with the fabled white creases showing. I've seen somewhere a product that you can massage/polish a die(?) into the leather to bring the colour back again. I have the dark blue interior colour with leatherette seat squabs. Any help/recommendations greatly appreciated. Kind regards, James
  8. I agree we all need to do our bit to look after our own backyard, but I think electricity production to replace fossil fuels is not it. We all are drunk on the amount of energy we use. Keeping the same conveniences we enjoy but simply changing the energy source wont work. There is nothing that can replace crude oil for its energy density. All dates predicted by all folk on both issues (man made climate change and peak oil) have passed and will continue to pass. Perpetual outrage on the topic is only getting people wound up for no reason. The fact the media only portray one side of the argument (and don't talk about nuclear) simply fuels cynicism on my part. Electric cars wont alleviate fossil fuel dependency. You might have a chance of replacing some of the existing grid with renewables but as described before - everybody's personal energy consumption will at least double with an electric car - A increased fossil fuel grid probably won't even meet this need. It's firstly a money making venture (tax payer dollars fund these projects with Tesla/Dyson/Porsche + vehicle sales revenue) and a control technique. Understanding who is filling up, when and where is useful data... Who's Greta?
  9. My only question is why? Why EV? What does it offer that is better then Petrol? Does it save the environment? Yes, but does it? 13kn/h per household/per day in the UK is the average energy usage. Put a 40kw/h BMW I3 in your drive and only charge it once every 4 days and you still double your energy output. Where does our energy come from? Some Scandinavian countries might be 100% renewable, but not the UK/US or China. Plus, if everyone doubles their demand.....even Scandinavia will blackout. We wont be able to build coal fired power stations fast enough. Is it cheap? Yes but is it? To fill up is about £2. That is until people take up EV on a large scale. The government realises they are not getting excise tax from fossil fuels anymore and so simply switch to high consuming electric appliances. Consumer loses. Range: Discussed above Power: Headline numbers are nothing without soul or fun. They are just like getting on a rollercoaster. Fun for 5 minutes. I'll be keeping my 35 year old 911. Better for the environment, better for my wallet, better range, more fun to drive.
  10. So if I get to this stage, can I do anything about it? Can I tighten/loosen these bars to pull the dash back to position? Can I replace these beams? Or is it a dash out/dash replacement job?
  11. So yours doesn't have this issue? Mines a coupe and I am not aware of any flood damage (rust etc)
  12. Could someone check/photograph theirs and tell me what their is with.
