Gentlemen,
I come to you asking for help. My dad has bought a lovely very low miles SC430. He's coming to it from a loaded Bmw 330D Touring. The car is immaculate but already there are a few issues which I hope you can help me resolve.
1. The tyre pressure warning light is on. The little research I've done thus far leads me to believe this is a common problem. The car has only done 11k and I have checked the pressures all around which appear correct. I certainly dont want him spending £110 per sensor, which I saw mentioned on another thread. How can I disable this system..easily?
2. The rear struts that lift the boot up seem to have given up the ghost. The boot opens fine to swallow the roof, I think the struts the opposite side are working then. How much to replace/repair the actual boot struts? I'm assuming its reasonably easy to do?
3. I cant believe a car this well equipped came without rear parking sensors? Any specific set you chaps use ( I'm assuming some of you have wives/girlfriends who cant park without them) There are loads on the bay, but I'd like some that fit behind the rear bumper without showing, do a good job and for all intents and purposes look "factory". Which set do I need, How much, who dO I use to fit them?
4. Similar to the above, dad has a parrot kit fitted to the 330. Is this is simple retro fit to a Sc430? What harness do I need? Where from and how much?
Sorry to hit you with so many questions, I'm a regular on the Porsche forums and the best place to look for answers on anything car related seems to be a model specific net' forum. Be grateful for helpful replies. Thanks in advance.
