3.2 carrera Bentley service manual

Sold my 86 911 and no longer need my Bentley manual.  $65 plus whatever shipping is, likely $10-15.  It’s used, front cover is curled, but manual is otherwise in very good condition.

yeah, unfortunately, I think you are right. They were cheap powerstop pads. Think I’ll pick up a better set.

Usually if the repair is 70-80% of the value, it’s totaled. Surprised insurance is paying to fix it.

If your car sustains $20k in damage and it’s only valued at $20k (if I read your post correctly), it’s a total loss. You’ll get the insured or market value. Diminished value I think only applies...

At 60k, I think plugs should be addressed, brakes, coolant change, filters, etc. take a look at the cabin filter in the front of the car to see if it’s been changed. That’s an indicator if someone...

if anything, I’d say 2003+, for no other reason than the glass window. But all years from 97-2004 are great and have their own particular issues. The 986 is likely the most under rated and under...

Do a google search, several good videos. You don’t need to remove the dash, just the radio and side trim pieces. Haven’t done it on my 04, but looks pretty straightforward.

All the aftermarket led lights seem to be on the cooler side. I’d much prefer a daylight bulb around 4500. Thanks for providing that link.

Led headlights for 986

Hated driving my 86 911 at night as the lights were so dim. Now with an 04 Boxster, while not quite as bad as that 911, it’s still crappy halogens. Anyone replace their halogens with leds that can...

It is a nice day today in NJ, 62 degrees, so I thought I’d take a short video of startup. My 911 had not been started in 29 days. Super nice unmolested 86 911.

Max has done a lot of work for me, always done right the first time and he's usually spot on with his initial assessment. They do work on all p-cars btw.

You can find them cheaper. Late model 944 glass will fit. Part number begins with 944. Antenna is pretty useless, who listens to the radio these days? I paid 325 plus 200 to install.

Since you are new to the car and with that much mileage, check your clutch hose for ballooning, also very common failure on the 968.
