Hi all, I have basically given the Boxster it's annual service. I ordered plugs, a drive belt, air filter, oil filter, drain plug washer and fuel pump from Pelican parts in the states. The equivalent parts in Australia cost about $450 AUS, I had them delivered to my door for $220 AUS so was definitely worth getting from halfway around the world.

Parts

1) Open the roof so that its 10cm from the windscreen.

2) Pull these cables off

3) Unclip this black plastic strip

4) Push the roof forward towards the front of the car

5) Remove carpet on top of engine cover

6) Unclip plastic engine cover

7) And one DUSTY engine!

This is a good time to clean and get the dust off it. Also a good time to check the power steering fluid. Mine was low so I had to get a can from the local Porsche dealer.

8) You can now unclip the air filter box and slide the filter and its cradle out.

9) Slide the new filter into the cradle then slide the cradle back into it's spot.
