Pete, yeah I haven't been going mad with boost, the odd burst here and there. The turbo was rebuilt a while ago and looked perfect when it was all apart. It's still an old school turbo albeit with a larger hotside if I recall correctly............ Stuart Nowt wrong with an old school Turbo Stuart, that's where the most fun is....🤣 Yes Pete, good point well made! As the car was intended to be, plus a few more PSI's for an even bigger reward after you patiently wait!

Oil still looks good and a nice colour, no leaks, no oil lost, no water lost. Going to wait till 6,500 miles before I change the oil, was changed at 500 miles after running in, so 6k is about the right interval I think. Whilst the engine is seemingly perfect, of course the 944 has pointed me to other places to keep me busy, as it always will with a 34 year old daily driver! The infamous heater clip broke last week, on one of the hottest days of the year, hit a slight bump in the road and my glorious icy cold air instantly turned into a furnace! Lovely! On taking out the glove box, thankfully it was the usual suspect clip. A couple of tie wraps fixed it. Tried to order one from OPC on Monday, but you now need to but a pack of 10, still, £14.30 isn't the end of the world and I'll have 9 spare clips! As noted in other thread, MOT passed with an advisory on a shock. Misty front shock coming off on Monday to go to GAZ for repair, and car booked in for 6th November to address a little bit of corrosion at bumper end of OS front wing, and a couple of minor paint issues. Never a dull moment!

I hope your damper will be sorted in no time. Have you tried to look check if something on the car could have caused it to wear out sooner than the others? It sounds strange to get the same unit to fail again. Quote Reply #283

It is odd it is the same one, and no, I haven't checked to see if anything else could be causing the issue. I had a good chat with Warren Gazzard @ GAZ, and he has promised to give it a very thorough inspection and have it fixed in a day for me. Could be the shaft is ever so slightly bent, he will check all that out and do what's needed. I did have a hell of a fight with an ABS sensor on that hub not too long ago, maybe all the banging and thumping has upset the shock a bit? It's definitely a possibility. Anyway, it should be returned sorted quickly after a thorough inspection, Warren is aware this is the 2nd time the unit has leaked.
