Ashpan’s Map Of Tassie

Leave Ian alone, he doesn’t enjoy arguing and bickering

 

My fathers mother at 72 years of age bought a brand new 450SLC,NO Chinah tyres

 

......................and you may have to sleep in your own bed in a couple of months...eh Carlie?

 

Makes sense as Ian knows a lot of bottom creepers....car wise of course..

 

Cancelled the singe buy and bought 3 of so will now have 2 spare!

 

OK, that makes sense.

However, I was around a lot of SL's and SLC's when I lived in Germany from 1978 to 1982 and I don't remember any of them on XWX's. The 280 was of course the most common engine...

My mid-80's 380SL had it's original unused spare, an MXV. That tyre suited the SL perfectly.

 

replace all 3 ad keep the best as the spare

 

If not for the 911 "CAB" I'd take Old Faithful on her 8th trip to Tassie ..

Awesome morning -With fellow hipsters!

ECHO,ECHo,ECho,Echo.................etc.

 

YOUR post does not imply you were going to replace ALL 3 !

 

RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

 

Bought 3 -so will now have 2 spares .Does NOT imply you are fitting all 3 !

 

Have you run out of your medication?
You're particularly argumentative and illogical at the moment...is dementia starting?

 

You are now deflecting from what you posted .

I started up today for the 1st time in 2 months my 991.2 .

From the rear lhs shocking metallic-sounding tap-tap noise on idle!

Had a gut feeling about what it was.

1. Lazy Hydraulic lifter
2. Muffler bearing

Drove it for around 30 minutes -went to my office, drove home, noise GONE. So lifter.

One can imagine the ill-informed -Going to a shop and being charged for replacing lifters.

So true , Why I sold the 2x Rolls-Royces

 

Especially moderns that have 0W-30 oil. It drains off surfaces and out of lifters in no time.

 

So I've read . I'd imagine different climates would run different grades of oil ?

 

I notice the GMA T-50, when it starts, spins up on the MGU for quite a few seconds before the engine fires, probably to prime the oil system.

 

Big problem is that a lot of the oil company books at suppliers list 0W oil for the 308 - I always have to fight to get 10W put in.

 

Any photos of your 308 GTS ?
