Right…. I finally got it - and you’re right - it’s a rectangular jack head…and no damage to my car by the tyre man.
And under the car there’s some sort of metal sheet protecting everything - the composite material is just around the edges!
Got it! I am sure I photographed the wrong thing - these could be water escape holes…. I will look tomorrow again during daylight (it’s 9.38pm here).
I don’t know if these are the jack points but these are the holes on the underside of the car near the wheels….
are those it? They each seem to have an indentation next to them. Maybe I should be looking for something else :)
BTW - I’ll be looking tomorrow at the jackpoints on my car…. I’ll post a picture.
I hope the tyreman didn’t damage anything when jacking up the car in the dark ! I guess the folks at Porsche would have told me, but you never know…. ?
thank you! You’re an absolute star!
I’ll be looking to see if a 20 in tyre + rim will be cheaper than using my own 22 in t plus a new rim.
I’ll be looking at jacks now.
thank you so very much! And Happy New Year to you and please do send pics of your beautiful new ride when you have it ok...
This is great info thank you so much - I hadn’t considered that a back wheel would not fit the front wheel arch. now it’s obvious! Thank you! From what you are saying I think buying a front wheel & a capable jack would probably resolve my issue.
I already have a spare front tyre...
A few days ago I had a puncture on the side wall of my tyre. I then learnt that
1) we don’t have run flat tyres and
2) you cannot use the gunk/compressor when the damage is on the side wall.
Thankfully (by a miracle) no damage to my 22in Spyder wheel. Phew!
So - now I’m considering...
Storing the setting is the key!!!!!
also, it takes a little while for it to readjust as you drive forward.
It works now!!
and works in my 911 targa too!
thank you a million times!!
