Thanks for that 78F350. Do you know what the "M535 anti-theft 315 MHz" stuff is about? What happens if a non-M535 latch/lock is installed into a M535 car (on the passenger side)?

When you say "latch" are you referring to what porsche calls a "lock"? In Pelican Parts there are 2 types of locks: with or w/o so called M535 anti-theft 315 MHz. Either a $700 or a $300 part. ...

Plot complication: the clunk actually comes from the rack. I wonder what's up. Maybe the car took a curb shot in the distant past. I can hear it while driving but it is minor. I think I'll button...

Clunk from front suspension/steering

Somehow my '01S with 83k miles developed a clunk in the steering. If I jack up the car I can jostle the right wheel by holding it at 3 o'clock 9 o'clock, but not 12 o'clock 6 o'clock. There is no...

Well, this job has a happy ending. I took a fine file to the front mounting ear - took off maybe 0.01 to 0.02 thou, in order to get a net fit so the rblt alternator would slide into position. Put...

alternator removal

I am trying to remove/replace an alternator on my 2001 986S. I have Wayne's book. He describes tapping the idler pulley to remove a bushing. I don't understand the significance of this. My new...

hi,

I bought and installed a ROW M030 kit for my '01S, but never installed the sways, so they've been sitting around for 5 years. I saw the front bar in my stash and nearly put it on a couple...

CATS - do they go bad?

I got a CEL on my 986 S. I hooked up my durametric and got the code but don't remember it right now. I looked up the code which basically said a CAT isn't doing anything. There weren't codes for...

I call your p1126 and raise you a p1133 + p0102 + p0507. Oddly, Bentleys says p1133 is a 5.2 dme code although my car is a '01S with 7.2 dme. That, and the codes indicate both lean and rich...

I've heard it said, and for the most part agree - the only real 911s are the air cooled and the GTs. These cars have race-ready engines. The other newer 911s are overpriced passenger cars for...

Good for you skrap, but I have to agree with papa - the way to become disillusioned with the legal system is to sue. You'll double your loss in court fees, time off work, hiring document servers,...
