Hello!
Just wanted to say hi as I am a new owner of 1990 H reg 964 C4 Manual LHD (I was searching for LHD as I like them more)
I just picked up the car from Woods 911 in N.I. and drove it back to London over the weekend!
The car has 98K kms on the odo and was mostly in storage over the last few years.
I am taking it for service at RPM this weekend to replace all fluids and general check up plus wheel alignment and balancing - it kept pulling to left a bit on the drive back.
The car has been inspected independenty prior and I was told its all good mechanically but I'd rather do a full service now for peace of mind.
The standard things that don't work are speakers, A/C, centre console illumination and wind screen washer jets (it pumps but the jets seem just old and a bit rotten)
I will sure come back to this space to share news and ask for advice!
Couple of things I noticed on the drive back (I was super paranoid the car will break down any minute that you might shed some light on:
After I refuelled the car full I could smell a bit of petrol inside the cabin and trunk but few hours later when in stop and go traffic - any possible causes?
On hard acceleration I could smell a bit of exhaust fumes - worried that heat exchangers are letting some in?
When on idle (traffic lights) i could hear some pump whine/ subtle noise coming from the front every 10 or so seconds - quiet but noticeable is this some sort of fuel pump moving fuel from tank to engine?
To be honest I don't know much about 964 and will be learning as I go!
Attached is the picture too!
