Hope that job didn't take up all your day ;-)))


Charger lead will be fine between the door and doorframe btw. Been doing it that way for years.

Nothing, nothing & nothing :(

Planned first trip of the year for tomorrow, trip to Brighton. Just seen the bloody weather forecast, would think twice about taking the daily in the this let alone the princess, oh and the pork :lol:

Not sure what to do now, can't polish anymore (not sure how much paint left) can't run it in the garage and listen to the lovely tones and the smell of sweet burnt petrol (not enough bloody fuel) can't be arsed to start more decorating :cry:
Peed off, pissing down, blowing a gale, mini lakes everywhere

When oh when will get to play with our rpm's and feel that power under our pedal?? :bounce: :bounce:

Could always hit the bottle I s'pose :drunken:

Get it out and gas it they are great weapons in the wet.

Watch those big rooster tails you create in the mirrors too!

I know your right and should get out there and do it

Having just aqua planned and done a 360 on the M2 missing god knows how many other fellows by a fag paper may have made me think twice, specially as the bloke behind wasn't quite so lucky!!! He was ok but his 63 Beemer looked a bit worse for wear....

Will have a rethink in the morning

Unlucky, been a bit extreme on the roads this week.

Another MOT passed, the tester enjoys taking it out to test the brakes :)

Had a 10th Birthday Service at RSJ Sportscars Then a nice drive home around an unusually quiet M25 with the hood down. :)

A long-ish saga, but after failing an MoT a couple of weeks ago on CO emissions and various hints and tips from 911UK, used the Durametric to read the error codes and sure enough I had the 'Cat Efficiency below threshold' on both banks. I'd previously cleaned the MAF and had the emissions re-checked with no improvement. I ended up at Zero Exhausts near Ashford in Kent. A real, proper old school engineering concern run by Kevin, who clearly knows exactly what he's doing and is obviously a real perfectionist. Have a look at his website to see some of the stuff he's done. I can't recommend him highly enough. I suspect he'd do a fantastic and inexpensive job of the 'bypass mod' for N/A 996's and 997's. He sourced the right 200 cell, high BHP cats and re-fabricated my existing exhaust - loads cheaper than buying a new one! It fits perfectly and is a work of art. He even rotated the position of the Lambda sensors so they're now easier to access and there's room for the post-cats to have more standoff in case of CEL problems. It actually sounds better than the original and so far so good after 80 miles, no error codes. Some before, during and after pictures below. Now to test the emissions again!

Good to know of a specialist in the area that can refurb, rather than having to buy new :thumbright:

Keep us posted as you rack up the miles.

Well it looks like the cats were indeed the problem. Car sailed through the MoT emissions test today - so still all good so far. :D
