Default Porsche is sick...

Oh no, being put in the ambulance and on its way to the Porsche hospital this morning.

Steering fluid spraying through the engine bay. Doctors advice was "do not drive, risk of fire"!

Big thanks to Babalouie (Kev) for advice and guidance. Unfortunately it needs more help than I can provide at home.

Probably a loose $1 clamp.

Get well soon!

Which hospital are you sending her to?

Mine also ended up being flat-bedded away last week to Autowerks, to sort out a mysterious electrical problem that is sending my tacho crazy - ?overvoltage.

I'm suffering withdrawals

Hoping you're right. I had a good feel underneath her and asked her to "cough".... I didn't feel anything odd, seemed intact.

Thanks. She's at a private hospital of course (Autohaus Hamilton). Nothing but the best. Feel free to send flowers.
