Now that my 914 has finally arrived in the UK, I'll soon be able to start working through the car and finding all the little jobs (hopefully not too many big ones) that need doing. I've owned early 911s for long enough to know my way around those OK. 914s are new to me though, so I am going to have lots of dumbass questions. Rather than drip feed them into the forum as lots of separate threads, I'll start this one up and post my dummies questions all in one place. Disclaimer: The car lives in a garage 1/2 mile from my house. This means that I can't just pop outside and look at the car (and work some stuff out myself), hence why some of my questions may seem even more dumbass... |

Thanks All for the response so far.
I am taking the car for MOT test tomorrow. It is bound to fail on the seatbelts alone, but I don't care because: a) I am legally allowed to drive the car on the UK road (for the first time since purchase), if I am on my (roundabout) way to a pre-booked MOT. b) If you fail an MOT test, your next one is free of charge if you go to the same MOT test centre So I get to finally drive the car, and the first test will let me know ALL MOT fail issues that I need to fix before my free re-test. Thanks to the response so far, I know how to switch out the belts, and have half an idea how to remove the US plate holders for when I finally get to register the car and attach plates. BLOODY HELL, this is going well so far, thanks YANKS! So, trying to out-do myself in 'dummy-ness" of dummies questions, here is... QUESTION 3: - How do I reset the trip meter? In the 911 dash the reset knob is mounted on the underside of the dash, under the speedo. I could not find similar in my 914... |
