  1. Tap the sticky caliper with a mallet, if it doesn't start functioning correctly a caliper re-build may be in order. If the car has been idle for a bit, that could explain the issue.
  2. Maaco?? :o I wouldn't let them paint my kid's tricycle. However, I would let them paint my mother-in-laws face. The crap she puts on is so bad that a Maaco job could only be an improvement. :P
  3. I would tend to agree. IMO, Porsche trannys don't grind up, they blow up. ^_^
  4. Mystery solved. I was wondering why people were asking about beeping. Mine always beeped, but now I realize that was due to the third party radio that was installed when I bought the car. Bolobar, I think you can fix this with a (get ready for this!!!!!).............. ........... .................... ............................ a piece of tape! Send ToolPants a PM for advice. I think this was meant for the Timbo, the OP. Would that piece of tape be meant for one of the two IR sensors by the rear view mirror?
  5. Have you tried using the buttons on the wheel to manually get it back into first?? If that shifts it back into first everything is fine. As the other chap mentioned, the car starts in second, unless you stomp the pedal for a fast take-off. Then it automatically shifts into first gear. Sounds normal to me, but check the buttons for the first gear overide to be sure.
  6. TP, can the bearing be removed from the case and shaft from behind that cover? Thanks. Usually there is a lot more damage than just the bearing (a whole lot more). I was wondering if it could be replaced before failure. According to Tool Pants, guess not. Thanks. I thought I read that there was a change on the 2.7 engines starting in 2004. Was it the bearing being upgraded??
  7. I purchased a 2004 Boxster from a dealership recently with 29k on it. I am suprised (yeah I know) that they didn't mention I would need the 30k service to keep the warranty in effect. Does anyone know what the dealer will do for the 1k they say it could cost. Is the estimate they gave me sound about right. I plan on a diplomatic negotiation for a discount on the service, but seeing how they somehow forgot to mention it when I purchased the vehicle I am somewhat leery. Any advise to this new Porsche owner would be greatly appreciated. :thankyou:
  8. Additional info on the Cars written up at the LowRider event: Most of the vehicles in question had nitrous systems or other tell-tale signs of engine modifications. I should think a Porsche would be difficult to check due to not being able to just "pop the hood" to check for mods.
  9. Check this out!! Recently in Fresno at a car show, the CHP showed up and wrote up and towed a bunch of Modded cars. They were Lowriders but who's next?? Modifiying a cars emmisions is Verboten in Kalifornia.
  10. Yep, after you inadvertantly drive into puddles during winter rainstorms. It is probably for the trunk area, that's where they tend to be located. :)
  11. Beelzy: You can get the Bentley manual at Amazon.com. Price is reasonable. Regards, Maurice. Many thanks for the quick response. I will check it out right now. :renntech: Chris
  12. I can't seem to find one locally, unless I know the author. Would anyone here be able to help me locate a Bentley manual?? I like to tinker. :)
  13. Uh oh!! I just bought a second hand 2004 Boxtster with 29k on it and I think I am going to have a heart attack. :o I purchased it from a dealership and got the warranty they actually insisted upon. :unsure: Looks like I had better dig it out and read the fine print.
