It's been some time since my previous post. After deciding to retire the car from winter use this year the 964 was consigned to sleep in the garage during the cold months.
I decided to invest in another vehicle just as practical & reliable as the Porsche. The Defender is noisy, leaks in the rain and requires constant inspection for oil leaks, it's almost a like- for-like for the Targa.
Its the most fun you'll have driving slowly to a destination.
The Porsche came back out of the garage last month for its MOT and squeaked through with an advisory identifying an oil leak in the rear wheel arch. I've had to change oil pipes 24, 26 & 46 to get the car back on the road. This is the second time in 4 years since I last replaced oil pipe 46, (Thermostat to Oil Filter), it's a P.I.T.A to swap so I was not impressed that the last pipe only lasted a few years before the lower crimp connection corroded & split.
Ran the car out for a few miles tonight and all going well that's the oil lines sorted for the summer.
