  1. I own a 99 Boxster. This is the first car that I've owned with unidirectional tires so I'm curious about how to care for the tires. Specifically, how do I rotate unidirectional tires? The rears are a different size from the fronts and there's nothing gained by flipping them from one side to the other. Sooo - what to do? Just keep them balanced?

    The directional tyres also known as unidirectional

    tyres give the best preformance in terms of traction,

    and grip in the one direction only.

    It is not adviced to put them on the wrong way, as

    you will seriously lose grip. In the case of a

    puncture, and you have to use one the wrong way it

    should be regarded as temporary situation in the same way

    as a space saver

    Just keep them balanced and in the correct direction.

  2. HOW WOULD A CRACK IN THE OIL FILLER HOSE CAUSE A P1123 "RUNNING RICH" CONDITION? CUZ I THINK THAT'S WHAT I HAVE!!!

    One of the common causes of 'running rich' is

    a faulty oxygen sensor. I had quick look online,

    and found fault code P1123 gave 'Oxygen Sensor'

    Don't rush to change it though, before first making

    sure it is faulty, and not just some dirty connections.

    However, some vehicle manufacturer's do recommend

    changing O2 sensors at regular intervals, as the fault

    generally doesn't show up on the engine management

    light in the early stages of failing.

  3. My solution is to use concentrated washing up liquid

    (the stuff you use to do the household dishes, maybe another name in US)

    I apply it all over the windows inside and out, and just run it along

    the rubbers. I usually leave it on for an hour, maybe better leaving overnight

    in the garage. Always worked for me 100%. I'm told it returns moisture

    to the rubbers, and revitalises.

    Your rubbers look perfect.

    With all due respect to previous post regards silicone products.

    I'd recommend never to use the stuff near a modern car, especially

    aerosol products, it plays absolute havoc with electrics - like radio

    switches, alarm micro-switches, central locking switches etc...

    It also produces a thin layer over paint work, making it a nightmare

    for any body work repairs.. any body shop repairer will testify to this.
