OZ930 Posted 21January, 2013 Report Share Posted 21January, 2013 I busted the glass in one of my 935 mirrors the other week. The double sided tape on the back held it together enough for a glass place to cut me another. Cost was a whopping $20. Could you use the other side as a template and get one cut from it? If its the Vitaloni mirror, then yes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airhead Posted 21January, 2013 Report Share Posted 21January, 2013 I left my car at home. I have needed to push start or roll start the car the last few days. Once up and running she will restart but if left she just cranks and wont kick over. Bruce - ‘She who likes to Drive Fast’ had the same problem with her 944. Cranking but no start. It happened often a while back but doesn’t seem as frequent now but is still there occasionally. At the back of the motor near the bell housing there are 2 electrical plugs that operate sensors on the flywheel I think. These plugs/wires become brittle from the heat. The guys that service the car have not been able to pin the problem down or eliminate it as it is intermittent. You know – when it does it they aren’t around and when they have the car it won’t do it. Something to do with a bloke named Murphy I think. What we do is grab hold of those plugs/wires and move them around a bit. Most times it rectifies the issue as it must restore the connection and the car will start. Others times it won’t she take my car and leaves me to drag something else out from the back of the garage. I have seen replacement connectors with wires advertised in Excellence Magazine but have not enquired as to cost. cyberpunky 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyberpunky Posted 22January, 2013 Author Report Share Posted 22January, 2013 They would be the speed and reference sensors. Will try giving them a jiggle next time have the issue and may have a look at them on weekend. Car is now starting fine again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good call, although maybe a more intersting drive is in order for a post in the drive thread. Suburbs-freeway-carpark-yawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tungatina64 Posted 22January, 2013 Report Share Posted 22January, 2013 It must be something in the air...mine's also on the work run today. me too!! nothing like the sound of a 911 flat six early in the morning! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niko Posted 22January, 2013 Report Share Posted 22January, 2013 Well not actually what I did to it, but what I did for it...Protecting it from our first fire for the summer here in Carrum Downer. up on the roof all afternoon with trusty hose and camera. Keeping the embers of the garage and house (Dejavu big ones we had here in 2009) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Man Posted 22January, 2013 Report Share Posted 22January, 2013 SH*T Niko. Glad all is well. You see all this stuff on tv and we don't realise how close to home it can be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niko Posted 22January, 2013 Report Share Posted 22January, 2013 Yes mate, that shot was taken when it was nearly out, but when it was at it's peak we had the strong winds bringing the ash and embers over. 2009 my next door neighbours house was 75% destroyed but we only lost all of our carport and patio roofing. Scary crap. Arsonists....fire bugs.... I would love to catch one.... That is the brand new Peninsula Link bridge, and it was apparently just on the other side of that this arvo. Also a bit of mayhem I was told the all the fire trucks had trouble working out how to get into the fire with all the new changes etc, hopefully they have now worked it out for the next one.

Well car started first go this morning and got me to work but after sitting in the sun all day she wouldn't start. I thought I had parked where I could roll start her but no go. I popped the hood and gave the speed and ref sensor wires/plugs a jiggle and she fired up straight away will have to track down some replacement leads cheers Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
