Good point about window tinting. I need to refurbish my back frame/glass (it's delaminating and the seals are half-gone; I just live with it since it's a fair-weather car), and I definitely plan to ti ...

I'm actually working on the AC on my 560SEC, bringing it back to life after a hiatus, and I'm sticking with R12. Fortunately, it had a little pressure in it, and I think that’s a determining factor ...

It transpired the shop had machined the crank to very early 924 specs and there was several mm of play on the thrust bearing allowing the crank to walk. Of course no one would take responsibility and ...

I may be down for a set. Would there be any problem running these with an old cam? I know on some engines, you're either taking a risk or guaranteeing failure if you put new tappets on an old cam, or ...

Sounds like progress. The cold control pressure sounds a bit high (should be around 25 PSI at 70 degrees, according to Haynes). The warm control pressure should be a lot higher - 3.6 bar, around 50 PS ...

+1 on having the radiator checked over and boiled out. You may want to have it rodded out, depending on what they find (not an automatic though: it could be pretty clear if coolant services were kept ...

Oh man, this is taking me back a couple years to when I first got my 931 going! As soon as I got it running, I noticed oil seeping from the TB boot, and found it was throwing oil up the charge tube. S ...

Ah, glad you found the problem! My wheel cylinders were shot - leaking, some rust, and probably un-repairable, so they got replaced. It does seem like the drums are the source of a lot of issues. Not ...

That's a tough one. The time factor makes me wonder if it's ignition-related - I see you replaced the coil, but maybe the ignition box causing a weak spark when it gets warm. The other thing that come ...

Yeah, I thought of the VW connection, but dismissed it because it was never sold as a VW and would have wiring specific to it. But I suppose there is a good chance the wiring is a vestige and was actu ...

Very good, it's got to be a relief! I'm so glad I don't have to deal with any of that; obviously there are people who either have no clue mechanically or no ability to think through consequences, and ...

Yeah, I'm surprised at how much wimpier the fan sounded before. I'm wondering how much of a difference relays would make on the headlights; it's tempting to keep adding relays, but it might be wiser t ...

I installed the relay yesterday, and it's a big difference. I used a pretty standard relay (weather sealed though), mounted just under the coolant expansion tank using one of those mounting bolts. I p ...

A used motor, even in good running shape, probably won't bring more than a few-hundred bucks, so my first thought is to kick around and see if you can find one (call around wrecking yards - probably t ...

I'm guessing it was the whole arm? So the WUR wouldn't work right, or maybe wouldn't do anything at all: it'd make sense because it would start off the cold start valve, then want to die because of no ...
