Car Forum / Porsche / Porshe 911 / February 2005Servicing/Tuning - Hampshire UK?
Evenin' all.... Got my key disaster sorted (snapped in lock!) and now have 3 spares made up! Just quickly - Targa ('74 911) needs a damn good service and tune (feels like it runs on 5 at times and stutters/stalls if you floor the throttle) I'm on a budget and happy to change those obvious things I can but...does anyone have recommendations for a service/tune in the South of UK (Hampshire would be good!) And finally...Any Porsche breakers around? I would like to find a source of second hand parts (need a wing in particular) but not having much joy. Have found the excellent www.design911.co.uk but they're a little too much at the moment! Thanks guys!

I can't help you much there, since I'm some thousands of miles from your location, but I might be able to help in general if your car is running poorly. Simple things you can do/replace/check: 1. replace all of the vacuum lines 2. adjust the valves -- the earlier 911's are particular about this 3. replace the fuel filter 4. replace the distributor cap, rotor, and plug wires On my '82, each of these things has been responsible for the engine running very poorly at various times during the time that I've owned it. On your '74, I'd also suspect the carburetor if it's so equipped.
