New owner. Newly acquired problems
Hello folks,
Just purchased a 00 Boxster S. First Porsche ever and very excited. Bought the car with some known issues - PO said pads and rotors need changing, oxygen sensors need changing. Brake wear light is on and engine check light comes on sometimes.
Rotors are pretty grooved. Will be measuring them soon but I can tell they are a goner. Planning to do the pads and rotors myself along with emergency brake pads, brake bleed, oil change etc. as a first set of need to do. Checked out Pelican, Suncoast etc. But Ebay seems to have some pretty good prices on the rotors (drilled) and ceramic pads. Anyone have experience with those. Love to same some money but don't want to be asking for problems at the same time.
There are also some good prices on oxygen sensors on Ebay. Don't want to buy an used one as I'd never know if that was the check light issue.
Please advice.
PO had done a lot of body mods (wide kit?). Very Fugly for my taste. Will be changing it to stock or close to. More posts with questions to come. Great forum BTW.
Thanks.
