Thanks mate.

Hi, thank you. And you are welcome.

Thank you.

Also, I am really in need of those part numbers!

Hi, thanks for your message. I am indeed still active and am uploading a full 4 year restoration of the 996 on the same channel. So make sure you have a look. You will learn loads of the jobs you have a head of you 😅 Congratulations on getting the 996. They are truely great cars indeed. Very well engineered and thought out. Let me know if you need any further advice. I am travelling a lot these days but happy to help where I can. Regarding the hose repair, I have had no issues at all with it. Been as good as gold and it’s a worthy upgrade. Your issue is probably due to a stretched hose and they will all need replacing eventually. My other car is a 1970’s Land Rover and it drips fluids all the time. In reality your drip is nothing to worry about at all. It’s just this image of perfection we have is difficult to shake. As long as the hose is not porous or damaged, it will be fine. Have fun driving your car and make sure any jobs you do don’t turn into a full restoration. Otherwise you will never drive it! Let’s me know what spec/age/colour it is. Kind regards, Joël

Jump in the web and visit Design911.com. You choose your vehicle and they have all the right diagrams in there.

Thanks Jason, do you have a product name or even a link?

@@My911 search “caliper bleed screw repair”, should come right up.

Hi, I actually got a paint shop to match it. They even found the code. But I’m afraid I don’t have it… 😬 And I’m sadly not on speaking terms with the shop any more because they ruined my two front wings.

@@My911 I’m sorry to hear that. Thanks for getting back to me 👍

Hi, I am living in Dresden, which is in the old East Germany. So Porsches haven’t been around for as long as the rest of the country. But still, it’s not rocket science.

Yes, I agree.

Yes, I have heard of big red and I am sure they would have done a great job. But I used a local company I stead.

Thanks Steven.

Hi, thanks and yes, I had thought about helicoil but I will see how things pan out with it later. 👍 I really need to live on to other jobs now and the calipers will happen in the background.

Thanks, yes, time will tell. I need to crack on with more spreading matters but will come back to the calipers later.

Hi Gream, thank you. May follow that up if need be.

Hi, that’s a good thought. I have used time-cert on the brocken header bolts. And it worked perfectly well.

I agree entirely, and thank you for your kind words.

Hi Phil, I had big plans to refit the valve, but in the end I left it out. It just means that when you detach the pipes with a full system, the fluids will run out of that single pipe. I intend to have a cap at the ready in the future.

Thanks Marcus, remind me where you are based? If you are saying no salt I guess it’s either Japan or West Coast US. Damper parts are worth doing. These deteriorate over time but just have a look when you are in there. OPC has them in over night. Mine looked OK from outside but inside they were hollow! 😅

@@My911 Your deductive powers are pretty good. I am indeed on the west coast...but of Canada. I will add the dampeners to my shopping cart. From other comments, it appears you might be westward bound to the US?

Hi, yes, I am indeed heading to the US. First to Vienna for a year then on to Florida. Big move but very exciting.

Ps, if you do anything with your rear shocks, take a look at the spacer between the spring top plate. Mine was cracked in one side which affects the ride hight a little.

Thank you. I hope you are well. How’s the farm coming along? Any interesting finds?

@@My911 I am getting there mate. The Farm is starting to get started now it's Spring here. Almost getting things ready to start videoing. Dad and I built the front fence and gates. I didn't video it dad dose not want to be on video just quiet yet. I will start our big vegetable garden before summer so I will video that. Oh and a introduction video is on the to do list. It's been longer then I wanted to be to restart my UA-cam channel because I almost lost my right hand last year with freak accident on the farm so been a long recovery. I will explain it all on my first video back.

Gees, that’s mad. I hope you have made a full recovery. The videos will come in good time, no point putting pressure on yourself. You can start with small updates on Instagram, it’s way less work. Good luck with the veggies, sounds awesome. 💪👍

@@My911 Thanks mate ya my hand is working just in pain every day but getting used to the pain so doing more every day

Hi Graem, many thanks and nice to hear from you. I will bear that in mind. Hope you are well. Regards Joël

Exactly.

Good job. It’s well worth saving the callipers. They are such expensive components of the car. I did look at big red but everything is taxed coming out of the UK. I went OEM

Hi, thanks for your message. The move may be too far to take the car sadly, but we will have to see. Where there’s a will there’s a way.

@@My911 Containers can be delivered just about anywhere.😁 - Just don't take it to a 2 mile long island by the sea! Surely the Landy and the 996 need to stay together for their (and your) happiness?

​​⁠This is true. I’ve checked and it’s about 3k to ship a car to the US. That times two and your into big money. But you are right, something will have to be done. Can’t restore two cars and just leave them. 😢

I see 2 options: 1. Negotiate the costs into your relocation package. 2. Loan the cars to someone like me until your eventual return to Europe. In the 1st case, you're going to have to get your skates on in case (oh no!!!) the orange twit wins and builds a wall. To be fair, Landys are well known for eating pets... 😂

Hi Bernard, thanks for your message and advice. I have done this since making the video. 👍

Thanks for your message. I have since decided to completely refurbish them 🙂

Hi, thanks for your message, yes I am well thanks. I hope you are too. I don’t use spacers, just wolf rims on standard studs. The wolf rims have a deeper offset making it appear they are on spacers. If you are doing the same thing, it’s worth investing in extended studs as mine only just make it through the thicker rim steel and hold the lug nuts. I should upgrade really. 🤔 regards Joël

Thanks, that’s good knowledge.

Thanks. That’s pretty good knowledge. Are you an owner/enthusiast or in the trade?

Hi Bernard, thanks for your advice. I have indeed decided to simply clean them and leave them alone. In reality they are fine. 🙂

Thanks Bernard, I agree with you. In reality I have decided to clean and leave well alone. They are fine! 🙂

Hi, thank you. Why do we do it to ourselves!! 😅

Hi, and thank you for the positive feedback. I am glad the video helped you. The more you do the more your confidence will grow and you will be rebuilding the gearbox in a few months! Great job. Joël

Thank you! Hope you are well.

@@My911 We are well. Tomorrow we will start preparing for some snow that the weather people say we are going to get next week but can never trust the weather guy lol

Hi, thanks for your message. I agree. The suspension is actually much newer than the car itself. It was new in 2017 and is in great condition. And (spoiler alert) I have opted for a full brake callipers refresh including seals and bleeder valves. Thats all to come. Keep the faith.

@@My911 Good to hear 🤙🏼

Would love to. That hand brake is a bloody nightmare. Never works.

@@My911 I’m in process myself. And it will let me use full floating rotors with a lightweight bell.

Hi, how’s things?

@@My911 Cold and wet for the last week and a bit. How things there

Warm. We had 30 degrees in Dresden yesterday. Then a massive thunder storm which almost flooded the garage! Was working with the broom to keep the water out.

@@My911 Oh wow mate did anything get wet in the garage

No, just me when I had to dash out to move the Landy undercover. That thing leaks like a sieve!

Hi, are you on Instagram?

@@My911 Unfortunately I'm not. I'm on 'X' though. I might head over to Insta at some point though.

Or email me using the channel address. It’s on the channel info page. I can give you a more accurate update.

@@My911 cheers, I've just bobbed one over to you. 👍

Hi, it’s actually really good still. It was worth putting in the effort. 👍

Hi, let me see if I can dig it out and take some photos. No promises though, goodness knows where it is. 👍

That would be great. Can you tell me if putting on the chain, ont he tooth wheel was difficult? Did you have enough space?

Got an email address? You can also email me at the channel email: my projects post at gmail dot com.

Hi, thanks for your email. I know where you are at. To fit the OEM VOSS fittings you need two things. A lip around the end of the pipe, and a crimping tool for the VOSS fitting. Both of which is not easy. I ended up developing a new VOSS style fitting at a machine shop and built a compression fitting into the end of it. Regards Joël

Ah, and there’s the answer. Thanks Graem. I hope you are well.

Thanks Andrew. Nice of you to say.

Thank you. 👍

Hi, thanks for your message. I bought a pair of plates but decided not to fit them. It would have meant separating the good hub which ruins the bearing. I’m sure I’ll fit them at some point. For some reason the C2 stone guards do not have a gap in the fixing ring to pass over the hub shaft. Unlike the C4S which does. I feel it’s a bit of a design fault.

@@My911 I know, it is quite weird, I've wanted to replace mine since they are not expensive, but seeing how they were mounted I wisely decided to keep the originals on the front, the rears are replaced last year because they were rattling al the time.

😅😅😅 you are very welcome to it. Let me know what you go with re brakes.

Thank you. It’s good to keep the momentum. Have a good weekend. J.

Hi, yes there was. I even bought a set of new ones (stone guards) but I didn’t want to remove the other hub as it damages the bearing. I’ll probably install them later. 👍

@@My911 I always stick a smear of copaslip between disk and hub just because. I suppose it inhibits corrosion between them and helps keep everything straight.

I’m with you on that. 👍

Hi, I’ll be doing the same. Brembo from OPC and SS braided lines front and back from Goodridge. Always wanted to do that.

Hi Marcus, yes I’m definitely behind on YT. It’s a lot of work making videos and finding the time is not easy. It is rewarding putting it all back together, but the frustration of the job is a strong contender 😅. But for me, this is part of Porsche ownership, it’s not all about the driving. That said, once it’s done, I’ll definitely use it more. I’ve done such little mileage in it since my ownership and it’s been over 7 years with me now. 😬

Thanks Stephen. 👍

I agree. Naming all the parts and bagging every up takes a long time at the outset, but having seen the benefits of this with the Land Rover, it’s the only way. Even. Ie I’ve got a box of bits without allocation… let’s see.

Thank you. Yes, the power steering has turned into quite a task. In hindsight, perhaps just buying the new lines from Porsche would have certainly been easier, but the cost is simply insane. Where there’s a will, there’s a way! 😅
