1. Lemonade Lifestyle Automotive Podcast Episode 116 centers on house prices, Cayman suspension work, and an E36 compact rebuild.
2. The hosts are unnamed on the transcript, and the guest-style dynamic is the usual two-voice garage chat that drives the episode.
3. The episode asks what has changed most, whether it is property costs, track-car maintenance, or the limits of “Formula Coast” and modern motorsport.
4. One stretch compares a “40 fucking grand” garage or house with average house prices of “165,000” in 2006 and “280” today.
5. The discussion separates London and the southeast from the rest of the UK, saying those regions “drag the average up” across the country.
6. The hosts then compare house-price growth with wages, saying wages “haven’t gone up in line with house prices.”
7. The conversation briefly turns into a joke about “Sausage” and “marzipan,” with a listener invitation to message if they know the reference.
8. A sticker promo follows, pointing listeners to Patreon and the show website for stickers.
9. The Cayman update starts with a rear lower arm issue, described as a “very, very minor amount of play” on the driver’s side rear wheel.
10. Porsche’s redesign comes up because the lower arm includes the ball joint, which means replacing the whole arm rather than just the joint.
11. The hosts explain that the 996 and 997 use the same arms but different bushings, and the Cayman S uses the 997 version.
12. Brake-line work follows, including the long rear lines from the ABS pump to the rear calipers and a mix-up where the wrong front part was ordered first.
13. The brake job moved forward only after the hosts realized the lines were the wrong section, then reassembled the correct rear setup.
14. A rear bleed nipple raised concern during brake bleeding, leading to replacement nipples on the rear calipers.
15. The Cayman plans end with anti-knockback springs, a geo appointment with Will, and a track day scheduled for the 25th.
16. The compact update begins with getting the car out of storage and revisiting a fibreglass front bumper that had no mounting points.
17. That bumper had been held on with quick releases and a splitter, but the splitter ripped off on one drive and left the bumper cracked and cable-tied.
18. The original sport bumper is going back on, aided by eBay parts for the missing mounts and clips.
19. The compact also gets an exhaust flexi repair, a new battery, a passenger airbag delete, and a discussion about Takata recalls and why specific airbag serial numbers matter.
20. The tone stays conversational, sarcastic, and workshop-heavy, with long sideways jokes about “Formula C” and “balaclava headrest covers,” so it suits BMW and Porsche owners who enjoy DIY car chaos and local banter.
