    Can you please give me a link that sells this suspension kit?I usually get parts from Pelican Parts because is the only one I found from USA who ship to Cyprus(Europe).But they dont have this kit. If anyone can give me a link from USA or Europe it would be great.

    I own a 1999 Boxster and I think I need new rear suspension.I hear a noise from there very often especially when the road is not smooth.Car has 95000 miles so I think to upgrade front/rear suspension. I made a search in forum but couldnt find any recomendations.I dont want stiff suspension.I need smooth ride and comfortable,if it can be comfortable ride in Boxster :) What do u recomend?To use OEM shock absorbers?I searched at pelicanparts and found out that OEM shocks absorbers are Blinstein ones.As I know these are very stiff,correct? Also I know that H&R suspension adjustable kit can be very smooth.Anyone tried this? I am waiting for ur comments and recomendations. Thanks

    Sorry for the mistake in previous post. I meant is dry!No water no misture no nothing.Is really dry.
  6. savvas_cy
    It is not dry.I checked this first.2 months ago i change the fuse again and it was working ok.No probelms.Now as soon as the siren start the fuse is dead. I know I have to take the car to Porsche but will they know how to fix it? I am from Cyprus.I dont know if there are any persons that can fix Porsche.

    I figure out that when I lock my 1999 Boxster and as soon as the alarm goes on burns the fuse of the alarm/locking computer.Also when i press the lock button twice just before the brief sound of horn the fuse is dead again. That make me belive that there is something wrong with horn but is working ok.the alarm siren is working ok too. Does that mean that i need to change the alarm/locking computer.Is there a possibility to fix it or disable the alarm and just have a central locking? Please help me. Really urgent!!!! Thanks.

    I am facing this problem again now :( I tried to unlock my car this morning and couldnt unlock with remote key.I changed the alarm fuse and it was working ok. I came home after few hours.I enabled the alarm and after 30 minutes i heard the alarm beeping but without the traficator flashing and without the horn sound, just the alarm,for 10 minutes maybe.Now i cannot unlock the car with remote again.Probably is the fuse again bt this doesnot solve my problem :( Any ideas?What do I have to check or change? Please help me. Thanks.

    Ok guys i fixed it.I found the alarm/locking computer under the passenger seat and I change the 15A fuse.Now is OK.I dont know why the fuse stopped working.If the problem appears again I have to check where is the problem exactly. I have another question.can I adjust the sensitivity of alarm system?Its very very sensitive. Thanks for your help again!Without the forum I would put fire to my Boxster :). You help me solve 2 serious problem without any cost!!!

    We dont have rain here.is really hot with humidity.I dont know if this can ruin the alarm/locking computer.The carpet is not wet.Car electrician believes that there be somewhere fuse but he dont know where is it.First time he works on a Porsche.I really dont want to take it to lacal dealer.They are really expensive. So I will be very happy if you could help me to fix my problem.I checked the fuse in the fuse box.All fuses are ok.In aftrernoon I will remove seat and I will check fuse on alarm/locking computer.what else i have to check? As I mention central locking is not working,and lights dont open when I open door.Car is working ok without any other problems.But i really have to fix the alarm. Also how can I open fuel lid?I pull the emergency cable and didnt open.Maybe i make it in wrong way.Is there is another method to open it or I have to break it?

    This is the story: Yeserday i press the button to unlock my car.It didnt do ahything.Then I try second key.Nothing again.After that i used the key to unlock drivers door.Alarm didnt to anything and i start the engine.But i cannot unlock trunk front and rear.It looks that alarm,central locking and interior lights is not working.I thought that it was a fuse but all fuses are ok.What can I do?I manage to open front trunk from the switch under the front wheel.I unplug the battery for 2,3 minutes but didnt help. Please tell me what I can do. Thanks.

    Its white smoke and last for about 5 minutes and i think its not sweet smell.I think its oil.And as I mention temperature of car is ok and engine works really smooth and fine.Just the white smoke every time i start the engine
  15. savvas_cy
    You had smoke every time you start the car?Or during driving?You have similar oil leaking in the exhaust headers just like pictures above? By the way i checked the oil and is ok.No coolant.The only problem is white smoke at startup for some minutes and then is ok
  16. savvas_cy
    It runs really smooth.Temperature is always ok.The car is ok and on highways and on traffic.Just white smoke when i start it.I have bought the car from England a month ago.Previous owner says that everything was ok.No white smoke,nothing.When I get the car the engine was not working ok because the car was sitting for one month,at the port and on the ship,until it came to Cyprus.I full it up with fuel and then it was ok.After few days white smoke appears :(

    I know its difficult to find a solution from the photos but I need a solution urgent.Here engineers dont know much about Porsche cars.Someone told me that the engine got broken cylinders and I need new engine because Boxster engines cannot be repaired.And he didnt see the car.I dont know who I must trust! Thats why I am asking to the forum.If the AOS doesnot fix the problem what would be my next move?To change the head gasket?How much this will cost?Is it easy for someone to change this?
  18. savvas_cy
    That means that a new AOS will not fix my problem? Any other opinions?
  19. savvas_cy
    That means that they need to open then engine?Will this cost a lot?Noone face this problem before? Is it better to buy a new engine?
  20. savvas_cy
    I have change the oil 2 weeks ago and it looks ok every morning.I have some oil leaking but this is come from the oil separator tube(photo below).But the oil at the escaust headers is really strange.Engine is working properly.Temperature is ok.I really dont know what problem is :(
  21. savvas_cy
    I have a 1999 Boxster 2500cc and I every time I start the engine a lot of white smoke comes out from the excausts for approximately 5 min.I made a search in forums and many people says that if I change the oil separator it will be ok.I went to a car engineer and we notice that there is oil leaking in the left excaust headers.I will put some pictures below.I ve already order the AOS but the engineer believes that this will not correct my problem.I asked him what do you think is the problem then?And he told me that he dont know what the problem is,maybe I need new engine. There arent many Porsche here in Cyprus so engineers dont know exactly how to fix them. Can you help me please?Can you advise me what i shall do? Thanks.
