    Gran Turismo Xpipe wanted

    Contact Marios at Autoshield for the X-pipe. He can courier it to you or you can collect it or have it supplied and fitted at his premises. People usually want silly money for used parts such as Larini systems and x pipes.

    Hello newbie

    C-Tek still the best. I have had mine for 12 years. The cheap ones don't reset if there is a power outage. The C-Tek does. The Aldi and LiDL ones suffered a power outage. Did not reset the charging, the battery died whilst out of the country for weeks.

    Alloy wheel refurb

    Lepsons in Kent are highly recommended. I had the Porsche Turbo twists done there by a wheel specialist who sent them to Lepsons.

    Who has third party warrenty?

    Waste of money. Wear n Tear clause exclusions everywhere. The best insurance is a full pre-purchase inspection by a marque/model specialist with report and negotiated work fixed by the seller. If no PPI, don't bother buying a 3rd party warranty.

    Advice Please

    You cannot diagnose without SD diagnostics. My guess is an ABS sensor. But it is built-in with the hub and bearing. SD should tell you the fault and what is the fix. That wheel bearing hub with sensor for a GS is around £400+VAT. Front sensor half an hour labour. Rear sensors more labour.

    Wheel alignment?

    I recommend a different place near Chesham, but you say that is too far away. https://www.wheels-inmotion.co.uk/wheels-alignment.php Another place is Center Gravity near Atherstone in Warwickshire. https://centergravity.co.uk/ Very good. Chris and Pete know what they are doing. Work on...

    ALA Car Warranty worth it?

    Waste of money. The catch-all is the "wear and tear" clauses. They'll be happy to take your money and then argue like **** why the fault is not covered. Caveat emptor

    Recommendations for a trickle charger

    Both my cars are on trickle chargers continuously. The Turbo has a CTEK MX 5.0. The Gransport a cheap LIDL product. Both are anazingly good and never damaged the battery. BUT In the event of a power outage, when power is restored, the CTEK resets itself, the LIDL obe doesn't. How do I know...

    Insurance Repairs

    If you are insured with a specialist such as Locktons you can have it repaired by a Maserati approved repairer. If through a volume insurer off comparison sites, you will be directed to their repairer with many hoops to jump through if you don't want to use their volume non-specialist repairer.

    Breakdown Insurance

    Check the age of vehicles covered in the 'Essentials' policy. Green Flag state the age of the vehicle must be under sixteen years when I was last with them for two dailies and two classics.

    Porsche 911 for sale

    Good luck! Its a tough market for many cars, including Porsche. I think the interest and audience on this forum is going to be very low. Have you advertised on 911UK and the PCGB websites? There are a lot of cars for sale but these sites have the greatest traffic for Porsche enthusiasts. Both...

    Sports Pipes Gransport

    I was thinking about these. But I'm in Spain till the end of February. Do let me know if you stumble on these again after my return. I'd discuss with Marios first to make sure it doesn't create drone or CELs after having them fitted. I have Marios's X-pipe and the original centre-pipe with...
