Hi All, I have a couple of quick questions in the hope someone can help me, please!
I have a 2003 C2 which had 19" aftermarket wheels when I bought it but for reasons I won't bore you with, I've switched them for some genuine period (can I say that about 2003?!) Porsche/BBS 18" 5-spokes (996.362.138.00). I'm now a bit confused about the correct rear tyre size as people seem to be running both 265/35 ZR18 and 285/30 ZR18 on the same wheels. I found a Porsche document online that suggests the former for up to 2001 then the latter for 2002 onwards. Mine is currently fitted with 265/35s but I want to put some decent new tyres on it (Michelin Pilot Sports seem to be the consensus) - and I want to get the right sized ones! Any thoughts?
Secondly, since I bought it, the intermittent wipers haven't worked (they work fine in every other position). I don't have the rain sensor and, after a bit of googling, I've pulled out the dash variable speed dial and also given the relay in the footwell a good dose of contact cleaner but neither of the easy fixes have worked (how often do they?!). I'm guessing one or the other needs to be replaced - can anyone suggest which I should start with?
Thanks in advance!
