If you come to Toronto, call Select Auto and talk to Franzl. They are a Porsche shop and he knows the 928 inside out. He even has one of his own.

It's Auto Select and Franz. Gorham St., Newmarket (not in Toronto). Highly recommend them.

Sorry, I had a dyslexic moment. It is Auto Select. People call the owner Franz but his name is actually Franzl.

Justin & Sonny,

Many thanks for the great suggestion. It's one thing to know Porsches but, the 928 CE is one messed-up birds nest.

That's why I suggested Franzl. He knows them inside out.

Sorry, didn't mean to suggest otherwise. And I really appreciate the recommendation. I have a real love-hate relationship with my 928 and it get a little frutrating sometimes; however, it's mostly affection so that's why I'm willing to take it to a pro.

Thanks again.

His problem was six and a half years ago. I'm sure he's solved the issue or the car has burnt out - which ever comes first.

Unfortunately, you will find a person who will be able to help you. Unfortunately, at the moment there are few people who really have high qualifications, that is not to say about the electric field, but in general in all areas. Professionals are becoming less and less. I needed an electrician to put my electrical fibers in the house, for a long time I did not find a good specialist. Then I turned to the services of a company specialized in this sparkelectrician.com.au . There are plenty of skilled professional electricians because they always take advanced training courses, and they learn electricity in colleges and universities. I liked this fact, that I always learn something new in the field.

I owe everyone an apology for forgetting about this post. I prefer to think of it as repression at its finest. Anyways, here's what I did.

Talked to Marcus. He chuckled and said 'Fix that bird's nest? I wouldn't get anything else done around here'.

Went to Madely's. He pleaded lack of knowledge but would try if I couldn't find anyone else.

Competition Motors encouraged me to give it a try $$$$$$$

So, in I jumped. Yes, it was a few years ago when we were suffering one of the hottest summers on record; regardless, the first step was to remove the floor mat and the wooden cover. Poke, poke, and more poking around later I decided to rebuild it. So I found a new board and gathered some replacement male and female relay bits. Before carrying out the transplant, I tried the car and all seemed well so I found myself wondering if it was heat related. Covered things up, carried a temp gun and waited for problems. If they existed (starting issues mostly -- not even a click) I would uncover things again, open the windows, parked it and the electrical issues toned down. Not wishing to leave things uncovered, I installed a 12 volt fan to keep things cool. Seems to have worked. I no longer own the car, however, and that has produced the worst bit of seller's remorse since I sold my Sunbeam Alpine when I was 19 and in need of money for school.

Thanks again everyone.
