GrahamTompkins Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 3 hours ago, SP72 said: I recall when contemplating ClassicLine last year, their TandCs state they will cover non-genuine (or used) parts to repair the car - is this the case? The reason I stuck with Lockton/Chubb as they state use of new genuine parts are covered Not exactly , this would normally apply when the parts are no longer available from the maker, obviously very common on many classic cars. Porsche are exceptional in so much that the vast majority of parts are still obtainable, albeit at a price. the reference I believe you are making is to the section headed Parts that are not available If a replacement for any damaged accessory or part of your car is not available, the most we will pay is its price (as specified by the manufacturer) at the time of the loss. We will not pay more than the cost of the accessory or part as shown in the manufacturer’s last price list in the United Kingdom. We may decide to repair your car with parts which have not been made or supplied by your car’s manufacturer, but which are of a similar standard” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Rummy Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Unbelievably late to this thread, haven’t been on here till recently - hope all unfolding for you ok - glad that you survived unscathed, having just sold mine after owning for a similar length of time (slightly less miles - 50,000 compared to your 74,000), I wish you well!How’s the insurance process coming along?

Bertroex Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 frazzle baby, Just logging onto onto the forum after many months and I’m shocked at reading the news. I can still remember the day on a winters December that you presented the car at the pub in Ravenshead, notts, with Nige, Sladey, Ian et all. Is it worthwhile to get a transit and rent/borrow a trailer and recover it yourself? Fingers crossed it’ll all come good.... Kind regards, bert 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeilH Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Only just stumbled across this thread.... so sorry to hear Frazer! 😞 Hopefully all has progressed since? I only recently started to hear about ethanol issues with fuel lines. Got me thinking and at the moment I'm pulling a small number of bits apart to sort a cold start issue - WUR pressures tests etc! I'm new to air-cooled 911s but noticed most of my fuel lines are steel - distributor, cold start valve etc. The only flexi hoses (two I think) are the original looking ones between chassis and engine - so fuel filter delivering to the engine and the corresponding return. Are these usually affected? Mine look as tough as old boots on inspection and pretty strong walls when trying to pinch them. Best regards, Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
