Brilliant, let me know how you get on :) Well, they came.... can't get them to stick at all - tried three different ones on three different knobs :? :shock: :cry: :cry: :cry: So I'll put that down as a fail...

Re: Should I buy an F-Type?

I did exactly this, although I came from a 997 S which of course is much older/less capable than the one you're moving from. I loved the Porsche, and I miss the dinky rear seats which, despite what I was told, were very useful for things and the kids. I do miss the boot space in the 911...my F-Type ...

Re: Climate Control Dials - swirls and light scratches in the plastic

When I bought our car I cut out of some spare Xpel PPF protective pieces for the gear knob, start button etc. Buy a sheet of PPF and use an appropriate sized jar top etc to cut round with a scalpel. Mines been on for 6 years and still in place. Alternatively I also use a three srage polish on certa...

The diameter of the plastic faced piece in the centre of the dial is 38.0mm, or about 1.1/2" (measured with a vernier).
You're a star, thank you very much :)

Re: Manual Gearbox Cars - Clutch Pedal 'Feel' from cold

Hi Darren...just in case it helps, I have no problem with fast starts from cold or a complete stop.
