Re: I'm going to need to keep sunscreen in the boxster.... - 5 years ago

When I got my first Cab I left the sunscreen in the car it got so hot it leaked out and made a mess in the glove box so put it in a zip lock. Another option is long sleeve Columbia shirts UV rated they do the job without the sunscreen mess getting on the car or having to reapply.

My C Tec stopped working within 5 years - 6 years ago

A quick search of the Internet found the button which changes modes is the problem, not covered under warranty of course. Found a video of a hack which basically adds an external button and problem solved. I don't trust it on my Boxster anymore but on my gas golf cart it seems to be working OK.

Re: Could be two different things (at the same time) - 6 years ago

I did Pedro's test and it's a bad regulator. Is there a video on how to replace a regulator and where is a good place to buy one? Thanks

Re: Could be two different things (at the same time) - 6 years ago

Thanks for all the tips everyone, I will check them out this weekend. Have a great Independence Day next week

Re: Does it "try" to open? - 6 years ago

It's silent on first pull. However If I pull on the handle three or four times I can hear some noise and see slight movement. Thanks

Passenger window - 6 years ago

Need some help with my 2000 986S. I have noticed that the passenger side window doesn't always go down that small amount when I pull on the door handle (from inside or out). I tried disconnecting the battery and resetting, works fine on the driver side but only slight or no movement on the passenger side. Any Ideas, thank you.

Re: 54 F and Sunny. - 8 years ago

Before I got mine I didn't understand it either. But one good midday sunburn is all it takes to understand. I'm with Pedro, the winter months (sorry northerners) are the best top down weather for us in sunny Florida. In the summer months you have to get out early morning to enjoy the car but by midday, well you read that part already.

The support is due for renewal on my old radar and am wondering if it's better to get a new one. Thanks

Re: Anyone have experience with ABT brake pads? - 8 years ago

Hi G, I switched the OEMs on my ML AMG to ceramics for less dust and better durability. The results were good but in the morning when the rotors were cold there was a noticeable difference in braking until they warmed up, just my experience. Eventually I got used to it but it can get you by surprise at first.

Re: Engine died - Failure or Alternator? - 8 years ago

Barry your experience reads just like what happened to my Boxster. I was able to get off the interstate before it died, not much warning just like your experience. Turned out to be the alternator my battery was almost new so no need to replace it. Marc has a point though, have the battery tested because if it's a few years old this type of event can damage/kill it.

Re: Jay Leno with bucket list ride in Hemi under glass with roll over on video at 80 years old. - 8 years ago

At the end of the episode Jay showed the car had been fixed 3 weeks later and Bob doing a wheel stand on a drag strip. Noticed what Pedro said, scary how close that could have really gone bad with loose of limb(s) they were lucky.
