  1. Fair enough, just wasn't too sure if it's better to take it somewhere who deals with them. I remember that the 350z needed the cats to be up to temperature or it'll fail the emissions check, so wasn't sure if maybe Porsche cars had something similar that meant it'd be better to take to a specialist.
  2. For those with a porker, do you get your MOT done at any place or take it to somewhere does deals with these cars?
  3. Ah I thought you meant an Integra, I just wasn't sure.
  4. I never used hawks on my zed but ferodo ds2500 felt great on the road.
  5. Do we have to buy tickets on the day or do we have to advance buy them? Just realised that I can get a free ticket so could buy ahead to save money. So if we're not tied into buying them from them, I might as well use my free one.
  6. It does have 3 settings available on it so you can use it with less pressure. Can't see which setting it's on.
  7. Oh they're out of my life permanently, there's no coming back after what they did. Anyways, back to Carla... So happy we're expected to have dry warmer weather. I'll be able to clean her more often and she'll stay looking clean longer 🥳
  8. Doesn't bother me anymore, better to remove toxic people from your life.
  9. The PCM updated unit hasn't been released for my model yet. I might look into it, but once I've got some more cash to burn. You can only warranty 15- year old cars, so I could only do a max of 5 years as mine is a 2013 model. Yeah family suck, but I'm so much happier that they're out of my life. Ideally I would have told them to f off and kept the wife.
  10. I was 40 last year so my dad decided he'd offer me £40k to buy a car. Admittedly, this was 8 months after my birthday (part of me thinks he forgot how old I was). It's an advance on my inheritance. Conditions were that I could only use it to spend on a car. Anything I didn't spend, would be lost. As I don't talk to his wife (my biological mother) or his other kids (my biological siblings), I didn't know what to do, so I took the offer. He said he was going to offer them the same. In "normal" circumstances I'd have spoken to his kids to agree what road to take (accept or decline), but because I'm not speaking to them (and haven't in years because they're knob jockeys - his wife and other kids are the MAIN reason I'm single and divorced), I said yes. Why not? I didn't know how they'd react or why not?
  11. Considering I personally only paid £2000 for the car, it's a fair price to have it.
  12. The problem I had with the Porsche warranty is that they don't like non Porsche parts being fitted and I HAD to have Android auto retro fitted which is non Porsche so I knew it'd be useless. It's made the experience so much better.
  13. Porsche independent. Same place I bought the car from.
  14. I'm not fussed with paying £1100 for it. It's not that big a deal. Paying for 2 would have been at the moment.
  15. I'll have a look at my paperwork and see if the other side has already been replaced.
  16. I'm sure they'd advise me if they thought I was better off replacing both at the same time
  17. Yeah I thought that too. Design911 are selling the part for £1000. People replace in pairs to avoid having to go back to get the other one sorted, but I was dreading the cost as it was. I would rather wait until the other one goes and sort it out then.
  18. So last week Thursday on my way from home I got an error pop up on the dash. PADM - drive carefully. Took it back to the garage this morning and the left dynamic engine mount is faulty so will need replacing. Whilst googling PADM when I got home last week, I read that I could expect anything from £1000-1500 for one engine mount or £2500 to replace 2 of them. I'm worrying away thinking bloody hell, this might be expensive. After taking her to Cridfords, and having a diagnostic check, I'm happy with the £1100 they have quoted including labour and VAT. Booked her in for the 11th to get sorted and then I can get back to some spirited driving. Never had such good MPG in her 🤣
  19. They sound better than that IRL. Don't forget you can never judge a YouTube video Vs real life aural pleasure.
  20. Poor Yorkshire_Zed, all he wanted was opinions of people who have done the move or have experienced both cars. This thread is now pretty much 95% useless information or arguing without experience.
  21. Porsches aren't all that. When I was 18 (back in 2000), my mate always used to bang on about how he beat a 911 off the lights in his non modded Suzuki Swift 1.3GLX. That's obviously the car we should all aspire to have. Cheap and fast 😂
  22. Well as usual, I just want Ferrari to do well. Don't care about anyone else too much. Although would be nice to see Alonso and the Haas boys do well.
