Re: Ed B is out of order - 11 months ago
Hi, Only 8 more weeks with a back brace ! Porsche friends are helping a lot. I can't drive and neither can Nancy. They are running errands and helping around the house. Exercising our Porsches is on the list. Our (alarm) cat wakes us up in the morning. Watching Olympics and F1 and reading a lot. Lots of PT, too. Friend took us to NCR PCA DE at CMS for a day last weekend to observe. I would norby Ed B - Main Forum

Re: After 5(?) days, may've been in sleep mode., - 1 year ago
I don't remember if I used the key or remote to release the flap. The only has happened once, so far, on the GT3 and never on the Boxster. Next time I'm in the garage, I'll check both of them. Edby Ed B - Main Forum
Re: Gas fill cover - 1 year ago
Interesting thought. Car is always garaged and doesn't get exercised often. Most miles are on the Audi A3 or F250. Only the cover was locked. Car is rarely locked in the garage. Hasn't happen to the Boxster. I'll check it while it's in its winter hibernation to see if it happens again. Maybe it's a "feature", like oil leaks. Edby Ed B - Main Forum

Boxster has been put to bed for the winter.(It snowed last night). Wanted put the '04 GT3 to bed, fill gas tank first. Couldn't open the cover. Checked Boxster cover to see what might be wrong. Locking pin on the GT3 had not retracted. Lightly tapping on the cover had no effect. Car has not been locked for some time. Before I started to pry it open, Tried locking and unlocking the car.

Re: I question whether the local grids can hold up. - 3 years ago
Electric vehicles are like horses, you have to feed them whether you use them or not. Where are the horses now? Where does the electricity come from? Mostly from burning fossil fuels. Lots of resistance against solar arrays and wind farms. We do what we can. We have a PV system and a solar / water collection system for hot water and heat. We heat mostly with wood but do have a rarely used propby Ed B - Main Forum

Re: Pretty good - 3 years ago
Disconnecting the battery may erase the emission readiness monitors so it won't pass emissions testing. Areal pain to reset. You have to drive the car at certain speeds for certain lengths of time to reset them. Each make of car is different. Instructions are on the net. If I recall correctly BMW and Porsche are the same procedure. Ed Bby Ed B - Main Forum

I was into old cars when a friend showed up in a 356 cab. I'd had a VW and a TR3. I was impressed by the handling, performance and quality. Had to have one. First Porsche was a 1954 1300S cabriolet. ( I was working for a VW dealer at the time). Car is now in Germany, restored, valued at 400000 euros. Got to drive it again a few years ago, in Germany. Have owned 14 Porsches.

Re: i guess you've never worked on a '60s english car - 5 years ago
To change the oil in Porsche Carrara 6, (906), first remove engine. There was a GM model that you had to remove the engine or steering to change some spark plugs on the V8. To replace the clutch on a Lotus Elan, remove the engine and maybe the transmission and floor pan. In an MG TD transmission, the shift rod detents were not captured. Pull the rods out and the balls and springs would launch intby Ed B - Main Forum
