Major service complete on Basil the Porsche 987 Boxster, was it plain sailing for the 170k mile legend? I can’t emphasise how excellent boxsters are, the driving experience is superb.

Great video Graham, Sounds like you have found a great mechanic in Paul! I would suggest that if you are dropping the coolant to do the cross over pipes, I would be ordering a complete set of engine coolant hoses and clamps and a water pump. Do the lot while you are there. Trouble free motoring for years to come. Whilst the car is not that old in the scheme of things, it is and can be a future classic, by doing all these jobs. Not sure if they are timing belt or timing chain equipped but same thing applies as per the serpentine drive belt. Time or mileage travelled. You have over capitalised on this car compared to it's purchase price. But it doesn't matter if you love the car, you get enjoyment from it, and it is your hobby. And after seeing it in the flesh, it is in exceptional condition for it's age and mileage. Good on ya bro! x x
Get yourself Koni Active shocks and Mo30 springs. Completely transformed my 986S Paul did the work. I got the geometry done by Charles Ivey in Surbiton. Top notch
I did see your Boxster at Beaulieu and would have said hello but I did not see you in the crowds. I have a 2005 Boxster S, and its good hear an honest review of the maintenance costs of these cars. I asked Pauls advice about brakes on mine, a nice fella and very helpful. Love the videos!!
On a slightly different note I’ve been trying out different fuels and I can confirm that so far 99 Ron unleaded is the best, you can definitely feel the performance increase in my opinion, hope that helps.
