Boxster Spyder

Just take the car out of the garage and remove the wheel. Get the tyre repaired or replaced and refit.

I wouldn't be injecting it full of tyre sealant unless it's an emergency.

Don't have a jack unfortunately, also can't leave the car out of the garage as it's a rented garage and it would be an obstruction.

Fingers crossed there's a compressor in the front boot.

Pretty sure there should be one in the front, in one of the side panels I think.
Chances are it'll be a slow puncture if you never noticed it when parking the car, so blow it up and take it from there, might be fine to drive to nearest decent tyre place.

Can I ask a stupid question
The rear "boot " release switch does not work
Is this correct
Is it therefore only for storing the hood
Sadly I have yet to try the hood !!! I know I know

Ok , this is getting beyond a joke now - I want it to be your project for the day !!

The rear deck is a useable boot , but only when the hood is down - it will not open when it's up (probably due to the fin design)

Watch this video and take the bloody thing off ! It's much better without

If it's the same as the rest of the range its actually not at the side but under the panel which covers the scuttle area aft of the boot proper. Take that panel off and the compressor is in the middle just aft of the boot.

The compressor is in the front boot, under the black plastic covering, between the windscreen and the boot. Centre front. Sealant (which I wouldn't use if you can avoid it) is in the left tool kit.

Yes the letter sizes are legal. Thanks

That's a very clean front end!

The danger with these vinyl plates is that they are not legal, even if they are reflective and size compliant.

The Fuzz are (IME) not likely to create an issue anyway, especially as the sizing is coorect, but deliberately displaying an illegal number plate can create more of an issue than one that has recently fallen off (ahem).

They seem to be legal according to these guys

I went to the Silverstone experience this afternoon, and used their spyder.
WOW! Amazing session. Car was amazing , first time I have driven the car hard , and learned loads.
1to 1 instruction is terrific , and the whole day out was brilliant.
Will defo go again . Most fun I've had with my clothes on since I can remember!

[m33ufo]

I'm there Monday in a turbo S and the 20th in a Spyder. Should be fun

[davidc1]

Twice! Lucky you . Best track experience i have ever done.
I was surprised how old the punters were today , I was probably the youngest. I guess young people (under 40) are too busy scratching about paying mortgages.
Only 3 people were there to drive a manual car out of approx 20 cars .alot of cayennes and macans were out there , dads having a play in half term!

We can't let this thread be on the 2nd page. A couple of photos in a beautiful place. One feels like teletubbies home but what a feat of engineering. Really proud to be British. Over 1600 miles and soooo enjoying the howl!! [url][
