Quick boxster question

[scruffy101]

Does anyone have a clever way of getting the leaves out of my radiators on a 2000 boxster s? Thanks

best to use a young child with a thin arm, they are more readily available since coal fires became less popular. Do the Scouts still do bob-a-job week?

Well .... Yeah , kinda .. It means the leaves you see in thru the front ducts are up against the a/c condensors .. They're fairly easy to get at , but the condensors are attached to the rads, right behind them , and they tend to trap leaves and other oomska batween the condensors and the rads .. To do a proper job you have to take off the PU , then you can get at the space between em ..

i had the same problem the other day, i jammed my hand into the facelifted front bumper and actually ripped my hand to bits trying to pull it back out, the leaves are gone.......... but my hand is broken and i may never be able to use it again...ba**ard leaves...

I have had several porsches including 2.5 and a 3.2s boxster. I now have a 964c2 and can tell you that neither boxster is a patch on it. Maybe it is lardy but at least the brakes don't rust!

[BliarOut]

ALL cast iron discs rust... Even the mighty Laverda Jota did it.

Rubs off after the first application.

PU = Porsche Speak for Protective Unit. What we (the public) understand as the bumper Porsche see as a decorative Cover unit that covers the actual bumper metal parts underneath.

We think Front Bumper = Porsche think Front PU
We think Rear Bumper = Porsche think Rear PU

Ok. sorry I meant to say warp and constantly need reskimming.

No offence taken I took in jest as I meant my reply. Like I say I have owned two boxsters and thought they were brilliant cars. You know a cars good when you ae prepared to overlook its faults and put up with the repairs. As for the gay/hairdresser jokes anyone who seriously means it can never have driven one, as I bet the current S would show up a few 911 drivers round a track.

The 280hp Boxster is 0.2 sec faster around Hockenheim than the non-S 997... nuff said
