You haven't seen the number of horses around here. This is Leicestershire after all.

Regarding your original comment re the door window frames - my C2S needed both sides stripping back to bare metal and then respraying as they were starting to bubble. Shorade did mine for me at a reasonable price and they look as good as new (they are an official Porsche Approved body repairer) Tel 01543 462240

Hi Robert, where are Shorade located? I need mine doing, would you mind saying how much it cost?

In reply to burrow01, yes the alignment was a proper one, incl. kinematic toe; the place was recommended by the Porsche specialist I use. I think you're a bit far away to take advantage of that one, unless you wanted to travel down to Bedfordshire from Rutland!

Always looking for an excuse to drive the car [] Bedford is as close as all the other options for alignment, especially at that price - where did you get it done?

Going back to recommending Independents - I can't praise GT-One in Chertsey high enough. They looked after my old 964 very well, but also were realistic when it came to looking after my wallet too!

I've had my 993 nearly four years now and some years I seem to spend very little on it, others I seem to spend a lot. After 18months of just putting in petrol in I have recently been faced with some serious bills. Here's a quick list of work done since March 2006.

1. 4 new Bilstein HD struts (£600 from Gert)
2. Fitting of the above and full alignment - £400
3. New rear toe links - £300 fitted.
4. Rear discs and pads - £400
5. Four new contisport N2 tyres - £500
6. New front anti-roll bar bushes fitted - forgotten how much
7. 12,000 mile Service from excellent Steve Bull - £375
8. Front and rear wipers - £30

Total approx £2,700.

Jobs still to do
1. Front hood struts - £50 ?
9. Rear PU stays and exhaust heat shield - £250 ?

Total mileage 68,000. Average annual mileage 5,000 miles. I'm hoping there won't be any more major items for a while.
