    New coolant pump and Rear strut

    Yes indeed not weird at all. It is all about the budget. How much can you spend in any one month. No doubt the other will be replaced as funds allow.

    New coolant pump and Rear strut

    OK, so not real exciting stuff here. Just mundane service for good old 2008 Very Orange Roadster number 425. For several months we'd notice the coolant pump would sound like bearings squealing when it first started up. That is never a good sign so we had the Seattle Service Center order the...

    Lost Power Brakes

    Todays update. I resealed the dried out vacuum booster pump and used Marine Goop on the gaps as I've had good luck with it in the past. I also sealed the end of the rubber boot on the electrical connector that originally had cloth tape covering the end. I did use the 3M adhesive on the Velcro...

    Lost Power Brakes

    Of course, that did not last long. Nothing from the vacuum pump. So very very quite. It is time to get to work. Funny how I've have had the same car jack for 30 years. When I went to lift the car to take the wheel off . . . the old jack wouldn't fit under the Roadster! Now I have a nifty new...

    Ferry ramp clearance for Roadster

    Why that must be the Dog Island ferry out of Anacortes. I love taking it to the fun run each year! Maybe next year I'll take the car instead of walking on.

    Lost Power Brakes

    A similar thing as Tex EV reported just happened to me today; loss of vacuum assisted brakes. The previous night we had been out driving in heavy rain. When I got back home, I checked the forums and TaDa! You came to the rescue. Vacuum pump started working by the time I returned to the garage...

    Tesla Parts Catalogs now available to the general public

    I used it twice to make sure the service center and I were talking about the same part. Glad to have it available.

    Fan Controller Problem service required

    Twice, in two weeks in late September, this error message occurred on Roadster #425 (1.5, year 2008); Fan Controller Problem service required. ID: 1207 Data: QX35001080 I had noticed that the cooling motor located near the passenger side of the PEM is noisy then quiets down. Like a squealing of...

    what does your garage charging situation look like?

    We had an electrician run a 60 amp panel to our detached garage when we purchased a Nissan Leaf. From that we ran a 40 amp circuit to a charging station on the wall closest to the car. Now that we have a Roadster, it charges fine on that same charger.

    replace key and fob

    I just had two new key fobs programmed by the Seattle Service Center. It took one week to have them delivered to the shop. The 10 year old ones were pretty much toast. The total cost, with tax, was $101.88. It is SO nice to have new ones.

    Holding on to your Roadster. . .

    I bought that lovely Very Orange #425 Roadster from @ecarfan and am loving it. Best damn sports car. Little interior amenities and instant speed make it drivers car.@ecarfan also was meticulous in keeping the car in perfect (for ten years old) condition.

    Seeking long term feedback from Visium owners.

    I recently bought Roadster #425 Very Orange and it came with the Visium top. Very nice. The top is about 4 years old and looks great. It was getting a little creaky and retightening the connections helped. I recently serviced it by re-gluing the driver side window seal and replaced the plastic...
