My channel covers what interests me! Cars and DIY stuff. I'm no expert in either but like to give them a go. The Porsche Boxster is a 2005 model 2.7, also known as the 987.1. This is a car that I will try to do as much work as I can myself as its not under any warranties and is also not my daily car. The daily car is my 2015 BMW 430d Gran Coupe, I'm just keeping this clean, I'm not really into modifications for this car. I also swap over to the winter wheels each October or November then back to the 19" summer wheels around March - that's about as exciting as it gets with that one!
The other car in the family is our 2013 Kia Sportage which we've had since new. Again this is one for just keeping clean. Other videos that I have are around DIY tasks and will publish some reviews on the camera we use for the videos and maybe some general stuff such as days out etc.
I like to try out products such as car cleaning/waxing etc as well as tools - so will be doing that on what I get.

Porsche Boxster 987.1 2.7 engine oil and filter change
Carrying out an oil and filter change on the Boxster.
Recommended every two years dependent upon mileage. The car has only covered around 4000 miles over the last two years but as the oil degrades, worth doing!
The Boxster is really accessible for getting to the sump and oil filter but using the Kwik Lift does help.

Barrington (and other makes) watch winder motor/ gearbox replacement

Watch winder recently stopped working, power light was on but no movement. Got this from Barrington approximately 8 years ago and it had been working fine, although has always been nosier than expected. Called Barrington and was advised that I could either send it back for a new motor to be fitted or buy one and fit it myself. I chose to buy the motor and fit myself to avoid having to post my w...
Kia Sportage 2013 1.6GDI (Petrol) stop start battery replacement
มุมมอง 1574 หลายเดือนก่อน
Replacement battery install on a 2013 Kia Sportage 1.6 GDI (Petrol). This car has stop/start and has so a AGM (Absorbent Gas Mat). There are various brands you can get, but I decided to go with a LION brand which seems to be a mid range battery with a 3 year guarantee. We’ve had the car since new, so the original battery has lasted just over 10 years, not too bad I’d say.

Porsche Boxster 987.1 - Removing rear arch liners and cleaning the dirt trap

I didn’t originally plan this video as the purpose for jacking the car up and removing the rear wheels was to check access to the coil packs and spark plugs and to verify which brake discs and pads the car had before ordering new discs, pads and sensors. Once I got the drivers side arch liner off I found dirt that had got stuck on over the past years and also a small bit of rust on the nuts and...

Video of our family day out to Woburn Safari Park in Bedfordshire in early August 2020. A great day out and no issues with social distancing as you’re in your car and there was plenty of space in the car park area for picnics. Best bit which I do think is the norm is the monkey enclosure, they are very funny, just be aware you may leave with less parts of your car than you went in with. I guess...

This video was an immense help and I was able to correct the problem in minutes. The tip in an earlier comment to put a cloth under the elastic strap to prevent losing the screw was a well advised tip.
The best part was the opening and closing commentary. Very to the point! Well done.
😠 'Promosm'
Bare footed!!! Changing 240V ! Ouch! I am no electrician, but even I know that is a big no no! ;)
Great video and tips on the Velcro tabs. Just remember to redo the Velcro tabs back up with the piece of rope secured behind them.
In una qualsiasi merceria si può acquistare l'elastico da giarrettiera con le asole già pronte.
Hello from Adelaide Australia, thanks mate for a really good video; easy to follow instructions and some useful tips. Thankyou!!
Hi, many thanks for the feedback, appreciate it and glad you found it useful👍
Thanks for the help! I did mine with a safety pin on the cloth side, which allowed me to easily tighten it up when I found it going wrong about 1 in 4 tries. Elastic needs to be just under 4" from the bolt to the cloth, so a total of 5" works.
Looks like a prudent measure for a seasonal removal of winter road salt and debris picked up from gravel roads 👍.
SPEAK UP MAN!
Great video, thanks. Clear and concise which allowed me to get the job done with the minimum of fuss. It's a bit of tight squeeze to get in there but punching a hole in the elastic beforehand with a leather punch then quickly melting the edges to stop fraying made it easy to hold the screw in the hole. That reduced the chances of dropping it in the depths of the hood - not recommended! The first one took me about 30 mins following your video but the second was about half that. If you have a long flexi grabber or magnet to hand it might help just in case something falls down like the T10 bit or socket. Failing that, a bit of blu tack to hold the T10/socket on gives a bit of security.
very good. thank you.
Little different on the 986. That side piece of trim is very difficult to remove. Cause it has a micro switch for the roof on it. Just set it to the side. Nothing to unplug either on the 986.
nice!
Love the red seatbelts!
Great fix, thanks for the details, will get this into my diary. Realised that I can also replace the elastic for maintenance mode at the same time. My sewing will be worse than yours, but as long as its effective. Cheers.
I’m replacing my top that’s a good idea I’ll replace that also while I have the top off
Great video. Can see what's happening better than a lot of the other videos fixing this. One thing that worked well for me was using a paper hole punch to make a clean hole in the elastic.
Hi Chris, thanks for the feedback, glad you found the video helpful👍
You nailed this video. Very clear angles and you've made it look easy. Must have been really satisfying to watch it close the first time.
Thanks for the video. Your other viewers had some good ideas as well. I guess it’s my turn to give it a go. My only question is that I found a loose braided string or very small gauge rope that’s not attached to anything. I suppose I’ll need to find a TH-cam video for that fix, if I’m lucky. Wish me luck🤞
Thanks for your comments. Not sure about the braided rope/string. Where was this rope? Wondering if it should be attached between the roof top and hood frame.
Mine has the rope too! Did you figure it out?
Is that Greta talking?
I saw your centre console, did you spray that up yourself? Mine is covered in a rubber material and is all coming off.
Thanks Great job. For the record, you don't really need to remove completely the T15 screw ( mine is also an 987 ) since it's a pretty tight space to put it back + you don't want to drop it. An elastic with button holes can easily be hooked over the t15 screw in one of the button holes + button hole elastic gives you some kind of adjustment for the future whenever the elastic will loose it's stretrch.
Thanks for filming this. It's a useful insight for those of us who haven't explored. I may have a go at this.
I've completed the job, thanks for your considerable help. Torx bit on a mini ratchet - brilliant.
Hi, where did you go to get the red seat belt straps? thanks
Really good video, love the 2 year old, brings it all back 👍👍
Thanks, yep the 2 year old was firing instructions at me. Couldn't have done the seat belts without her input!!
Thanks for this video. I now know where the air filter is, though it looks like a lot of work to get at it.
Very useful video, thanks. In my case the elastic still seems okay so I'm going to try adjusting the length by pulling it up one or two holes on the Torx screw. The tool you use to access the Torx screw looks really useful in the confined space. I need to get one of those.
@@Just_Rav So helpful, thanks. The key phrase was 'Torx bit on a mini ratchet.' I've just ordered one. I'm on a fast learning curve with this car, never having attempted any car maintenance before. So far I've use a Trombone cleaner to clear the drains and replaced the bonnet and boot opening switch. The elastic on the hood is next, then the plastic ball joints. I'm learning.
Thanks for the video. It really helped and made the job very easy. I used a double layer of elastic that already has button holes in, so the screw position can easily be adjusted. Mine is a 987 and the screws were T15.
where did you get them rewebbed? I'm planning to do this as well.

I also call 5 inches 7, so all good. Thanks for the top tip 👌
Hi
Hey how do you get the trim pieces off?
Hi, if you look at video 1 of the removal at 2m 40s I explain how I removed the trim. You need to put one hand on the top corner closest to the roll bar and gently pull forward, the top clip will come away, then move your hand down approx half way and repeat. Then do the same on the opposite side closest to the door. Once loose lift up straight as there is a long plastic tab that goes into the floor. Hope this helps and thanks for watching the videos!
