Brief little update. Routine maintenance time.
It's roughly 5k miles since i last did an interim oil change, so thought I'd do a minor service.
I'm not sure if I mentioned it in an earlier post but a few months ago I put a new hood on the car with a glass window. Bought it from Douglas Valley for a couple of hundred quid. Its a car hood warehouse (986.1) hood with their glass screen in, but it is vastly superior to the plastic screen that was in before.
Changing the hood takes about 20 minutes too, which was a total surprise! Basically 3 bolts hold the hood in place at each side and then the whole unit lifts out.
Anyway, back to the minor service:
Stick the old girl on the ramp:
Old oil drained - the picture doesn't do it justice, it is very clear and looks like its been in 500 miles, let alone 5k.
A look around the car reveals that the steering rack leak is getting worse despite the jubo clips I put on the aluminium connectors...
c: This is known to be a real bitch of a job apparently :roll:
The 987 airbox makes changing the air filter a doddle:
Check all connections along the intake - all good!
Diddly squat in the oil filter:
Noted that the front brake pads have only about 2mm left, so change them:
And bring her back down again:
Before going here to be invaded by geese!
