I lost coolant like crazy so I just stopped, its probably leaking from not being installed properly but I didn't show any coolant on the floor.

Good news:

Any auto store will have what you need to fix it.


Better news:

You don't have to remove the tail lights to fix it.

No. Its not a 991, or a 3000GT-VR4.


The kinds of cars where everything under the hood is easier to get at, thru the tail lights or glovebox.

For once take no notice of Speedtoys - the normally available valves are useless and failing very quickly. I have the valves that are direct Mercedes parts and do not fail.
Come and collect one or I can ship for less $ than the gas to come and collect it.

Jeff,

Oh you rotten SOB - so it was you who shot out my pal Hamilton's rear tire when he was leading the Brtish Gand Prix and spolied my race forecast in the local F1 club!- I think we Brits are gonna have to send the boys round to pay you a visit and duff you up a bit!

What do you think Roger?

Nice clip- clever editing- is there a sound track with the clip?- I couldn't pick anything up?
