  1. I did this also and got similar results, had a few nasty brown adrenaline moments though when I thought I had damaged the lenses beyond repair and they were all foggy +1 for the 3M kit, well worth the money IMHO
  2. 2004 Atlas Grey C2 Carrera 43K no problems except previous owner kerbed it and cracked a wheel, also one headlight yellowed, changed out wheel and polished headlamp as per instruction on here with the 3M kit, looks great now, daily driver 15 miles each way to work
  3. +1 on this my car had exactly the same issue, took it to the mechanic and 5 mins later he gave it me back with no squeak, just lubed the clutch, no charge, tremendous!
  4. ...............I'm looking for some for my 2004 996 could you please PM me the name of the company u are refering to maurice?
  5. I also have a Black and decker, with the air pump and while I have never had to use my neighbor (Honda CRV) swears by it!
  6. Thanks for your help guys, I've bought some replicas so I will put those on the car then see what can be done with the original wheels, if they can be rapaired fine I've got a spare set if not I'll sell the good ones and that will cover the cost of the replicas, I can't just take them all off and send them for refinishing beecause this is my only car and I need it to get to work etc, this way if they are repairable I'll run the replicas and put the originals back on when I seel it, or use one set as track wheels Thanks again
  7. Nope definitely a crack in the rim at the bottom of the spoke one, I can get a complete set of replicas for about $600 from Wheels and Caps, they have a special on at the moment, they look the same as the ones on the car, which is fine by me, seller sold as is I called and they were sympathetic but firm - I don't want to track the car just drive it on the road so I think replicas would be fine, any advice, anyone done this? I think it may also be waise to change all 4 rims out in case this is a fatigue issue and also so that all the rims are the same weight, I've been told these p-cars are sensitive to that sort of thing
  8. Thanks for the quick response, and yes it it works just fine at the moment, just didn't want any nasty surprises lol
  9. Loren, I know from the previous posts that the CDR23 doesn't have a user settable code but my question is if I disconnect the battery for any reason, say to change it out will the radio work when I reconnect the battery or do I need to take the car to a dealer? Thanks
  10. I have a 2004 Carrera 2 which I bought about 3 weeks ago, it has 40K miles on the clock and drives beutifully however, as I was just idly washing the car this last weekend and I noticed that the front drivers side wheel has a crack at the base of the spoke. Wheels are Porshe OEM 5 spoke 18"x 8 front and 18" x 10 rear. To be fair upon closer inspection it looks like this rim has been "kerbed" at some point in its life. The spoke next to the one shown also has a hairline crack, as does the one of the spokes on the drivers side rear, these are small and my phone camera doesn't have the resolution to capture them. Has anyone else experienced this? Is it a common fault on Texas rough roads? Repair or replace?
  11. Thanks appreciate it, you know though that if it can be broken, especially small plastic tags then I can do that lol
  12. Now I know that there have been a few threads on this as I have checked, although a search brings up all sorts of interesting topics, very few of which address my issue. I recently bought a 2004 Carrera (40K miles some dark grey metallic colour, looks black in some light, and black interior) and did the oil change as should be done with no service record, also ordered a cabin filter and air filter that will be changed this week, thought I would check out the throttle body at the same time (another great post). Car runs great starts stops and everything works including the pop up spoiler. Did a bit of polishing on one headlight lens, the other looks brand new so probably has been replaced. Great article on removing the lenses and polishing them by the way....anyway to get back to the point I noticed a small dead spider in the gauge cluster, and also some dust or somthing on the inside of the gauge lenses, can anyone tell me how to remove just the glass so I can blow out the small mummified remains of the spider and maybe wipe the inside surface of the gauge lenses? Thanks in anticipation and I look forward to your collective wit and wisdom
  13. I had the same issue this morning in muggy Texas, as long as the air inside is a lot cooler than that outside this will happen, I find that when the little spoiler thingy pops out the back the condensation seems to go away...lol I have a 2004 Carrera 2
