  1. Hi Sam - is this a commercial CD? If it has a label that is glued on to the surface of the CD these labels can sometimes detach a little and foul up the eject process. Try a very thin blade inserted at the upper part of the CD opening and very gently try to guide the CD out while pushing the eject button. It may take a few time to get it too work. I have had success with this technique in the past. Good luck

    it is a burnt disk, but I have been ejecting it fine the past couple of weeks. I have tried with a dental pick but it seems the CD sits slightly lower with respect to the opening so would have to get under it somehow to pry it up towards the eject roller... how did you get this to work? and do you have a PCM or the older style unit?

    Thanks

    Use something thin and flat to guide it out while using eject. If the disk is low, then go lower. You just what to insert something smooth a centimeter or two. Try a flat plastic card, like an un-embossed credit card or a thin putty knife.

  2. Not sure how this could be applied but I've had to replace the control electronics on my home Air Conditioner condensing unit due to mice eating the insulation on the wires and their bodies shorting the circuit. This of course also results in the mouse's demise. The only solution that I've found to keep them away is to place a number of hanging holders with moth balls inside the unit, changing them every three months or so.

  3. I know this sounds a little lame, but I cannot find a store where I can buy the 19" Nokian WR tires that are approved for a Carrera S (as set out in the TSB). I am looking for anywhere in the Pacific Northwest (Seattleish area). From the Nokian website, it looks like Tirefactory is the exclusive distributor in this area. But I have called 4 of their stores and not one has known what I'm talking about (which makes me think the tires are not in their computers). They can find the fronts in the "WR G2" model, but not the rears (because they don't come in 295 for the "WR all weather plus").

    Anyone know something I don't? Where can I buy these from?

    PS: They don't appear to be sold online either.

    The Nokian tyres are actually very good winter tyres. Very good grip and quite stable even at high speed on dry tarmac. Much better than the recommended Michelin Alpin.

    You should ask for these specs:

    WR 295/30 R19 100V XL N0

    WR 235/35 R19 87V N0

    They are very easy to get in Europe.

    Just spoke to Tirerack (the official Porsche North American tire supplier), even though the Nokians are not listed on their website. Apparently, there has been a significantly scaled back production run this year and all available stock is going straight to the dealers.

    I spoke to Nokian Tyres in La Vergne, TN, 1-800-565-2525. I was told they had stock (he checked the sizes) that could be ordered from any of their dealers.
