996 advice pls
Discussion
before i paid for my 996 i had an inspection done for peace of mind by a well known west mids specialists. after the inspection a few thing had been found but nothing too serious.
one thing found has me wondering though.
they said the engine had been over filled with oil so too much oil in engine. this created quite a heated debate then as the guy im buying it off told them they were the last people to service the car and he was adamant......no hes allan not adam ant, thats a joke by the way.......ADAM ANT STAND N DELIVER. OH WELL.
anyway back to the story......at no time had he added any oil to car so it was they who had overfilled in 1st place, and at no point did they offer to drop some out.
now when you turn ignition on you get an oil reading on dash but i think they are not always accurate so have manually checked oil ie while engine is off and on level ground and yes its at the top of the mark on stick but how do i know if its overfull????
do i leave it or suck a bit of oil out ???
im takin it to devon nxt week and have heard people say too much oil can be as bad as not enough.....what to do???
secondly is changing the 2 front shocks a diy job or specialists only once in devon my bro has a workshop that i can use so could buy shocks here and fit in devon.......what about rears also????
be grateful for all advice again,nev
