Britain’s Cheapest Boxster Project Part 2 – Fixing my First Porsche. In this episode Jonny Smith finally collects his bargain 2002 2.7 Boxster that cost £1900, takes it for an MoT and drives it over 200 miles home in biblical wind and rain. After that we document changing the troublesome (water damaged) body control module for a good used item on eBay, followed by a service and inspection. This 986 Boxster hasn’t been crashed, stolen and painted, although it was owned by Alex Kerston, previously from @CarThrottle and now @AutoAlex.
Thanks for stopping by The Late Brake Show.
Hopefully this video goes to show that you can buy, diagnose and maintain/repair a real Porsche modern classic on a sensible budget.
Huge thanks to:
Birmingham Car Keys (https://birminghamcarkeys.co.uk/) for the alarm module fix
LaRose Porsche of Kent (https://laroseporsche.co.uk/) for servicing and inspection
