Lasting Luxury – Porsche Design Heritage P6530 Watch
Posted by admin in Car Design, Porsche on July 12, 2011
In some people’s eyes, luxury may mean being kind of fragile and need to be protected with extra care. But for Porsche Design, luxury may be first of all being kind of eternal existence that can withstand the test of time. Such character is successfully inherited by the new Porsche Design Heritage P6530 Watch.
With its case and bracelet entirely constructed in shot-blasted titanium, the Heritage P6530 is highly resistant to corrosion of time. Since titanium is very light and easy on the skin, the watch will give you comfortable wearing experience.
It is worth mentioning that 30 years ago, Porsche created the world’s first first chronograph in titanium. Their new Heritage P6530 inherits the great tradition by faithfully keeping most of the original styles.
Driven by a Swiss Valjoux 7750 caliber with a 48 hour power reserve, the new Heritage P’6530 Titanium Chronograph features common functions of sports watches, namely a 30-minute counter at 12 o’clock, small seconds sub-dial at 9 o’clock, and a 12-hour totaliser at 6 o’clock and a tachymeter scale outside the baton hour-markers. The watch also indicates day and date at 3 o’clock and is water resistant to 60 meters. Read the rest of this entry »
How To Change The Engine Oil And Filter On A Peugeot 205 Diesel Part One
The Peugeot 205 is a great little car. The original ‘hot-hatch’ – they were immensely popular from the moment they were introduced back in 1983, due to their styling, performance, and nimble handling. The reliability of the diesel versions is the stuff of legend, and there are still plenty of well-maintained examples on the road today.
The cost of running a car has increased enormously over the last decade, and even owners of an economical car like the diesel 205 need to cut unnecessary spending wherever possible. One simple way to achieve this is to do your own oil changes.
The 205 diesel engine has a reputation for being virtually unbreakable, but only if the engine oil and filter are replaced every 6000 miles. This is an easy job to do and will only take around half an hour. Oils and filters can be bought cheaply at any motor factor or car-parts shop. I recommend that you use semi-synthetic oil, as it is more durable than ordinary mineral oil and only a little more expensive.
Before you start, be sure to assemble all the things you will need. These are:
1) 5 litres of semi-synthetic oil for diesel engines
2) New oil filter (FRAM part No. PH5566A)
3) New 16mm copper washer for the sump plug Read the rest of this entry »
