    I think that's the cheapest I've ever seen, potentially the highest mileage as well but that still seems a keen price as they should shrug off the miles to some extent.  However, what did catch my eye was this one in the box underneath.  I wouldn't want that particular car but I do love a funky colour... used to have a poster which I think was a 993 (a few decades ago so forgive me) in this colour.

    It's also a Cat S so who knows what lies beneath

    Hi, replying to a post from a while ago but I tried this and got to the last stage where I was to pull the matrix out.. but the metal bar with the green tape was preventing me from lifting the matrix out.. what did you do to lift the matrix out?

    Kmowing me probably just forced it out of the way!

    Jumped in the car on Monday to drive home to find the from screen covered in thick mist that wouldn't clear and a overheating coolant smell. The water temperature remained normal, after a bit of research the heater matrix seemed the most likely culprit. As it turns out it's not that big a job as it is on normal cars where the heater matrix sits on the inside of the bulkhead in a Boxster it 's on the outside so easy replacement. I expected the matrix to quite expensive OEM £416 or Hella £120. Guess which way I went? Hella, correct.

    Anyway this how to swap one out. 

    Remove the wiper arms, then the 3 Torx screws on the plastic scuttle

    At either edge of the windscreen are 2 nuts

    Disconnect the wiring to heated washer jets and remove the wiper scuttle

    in the centre you can see where the matrix is, behind the battery under the membrane

    Remove the wiper motor 3 screws,no need to disconnect the wiring just move to one side

    Disconnect the 2 struts, 3 screws each

    Clamp the two hoses

    Remove the membrane and undo the jubilee clips

    The matrix is held in by two screws and spring clips

    Reverse the procedure to finish off. You may will need to bleed the coolant system after I filled the matrix up with coolant before I put it back in.
