Yes - that's what is concerning me a bit too... but I'll bite the bullet and give it a go. |

Thanks for that - so just confirming - you bought a Bosch SR62X for your Porsche 924 NA and had no problems with it fitting (length etc?) If so I'll go ahead and order one today. |

Hi - any Aussies with a starter motor they could get to me quickly in Canberra? Mine seems to have died in all the Rudd/Gillard excitement. |

Yeah, I never understood the logic, "I want a Ferrari. So, what I'll do is buy a Porsche and blu-tac a wooden spoiler on..." etc. |

Alan, you're a champion. That's the unit I have - with a slightly cleaner spot where your label is... Thanks a lot. I'll let you get back to polishing the Ferrari. |

Thanks Alan, does your car have the 2 groove clutch and the under-dash blower unit as well? |

It's also worth checking what's happening with the positive lead - it is in a location very close to the manifold and the shielding can disintegrate. In most cars it seems to loop from the back of th ... |

Hi - trying to get the A/C working on my 1983 Porsche 924 NA. Unfortunately, after loading with dye, local A/C shop tells me the compressor is leaking badly. I'm having trouble identifying it though ... |

I had no problems for a couple of weeks, so I was cruising - then it stopped again. This time I was certain it was the relay because the pump wasn't making any noise.
I pulled the relay open and t ... |

What did you polish the orange peel out with? I used Farcella G3 and it did an awesome job.
Thanks for the nice comments! I sanded with 800 (yes, it was very bad orange peel...) then 1500, 20 ... |

Did your car come with the rear hatch spoiler, or did you add that later?
Yes - that was on it. I think the spoiler looks nice, and it's in good condition. |

So I made some fibreglass repairs to the bumper and di ... |

Mine has done the same thing (not quite as severe). The old battery I had in the car had a red plastic plate that went over the whole positive terminal area. When I put the new battery in, it didn't ... |
