Just had a call from Dave at DND. The problem was the corroded circuit board. He has repaired it and is posting it back. I hope that's it all working now. Thanks for everyone's input. 😊

Could I ask out of interest how much it's cost as mine is doing exactly the same .

Could be brake pedal switch... had similar prob a few years ago. BPS fixed it ....

It comes as up abs fault  when the brake switch is faulty , I swapped mine out and it's been fine ,took 10 mins as it's a bit awkward to get to if you can get someone behind car to check brake lights too as they sometimes flicker when the bps is faulty 

You also get 10% off at OPC if you have classic Porsche membership , incidentally I got a good deal for my 986 hardtop from a forum member on here , I found the fitting kit fiddly to fit .be careful not to lose the bolt that goes into the side trim 

I use a lithium jump starter for mine ,but you have to leave it connected for a while before the frunk opens , alternatively have you tried a battery charger with cigarette lighter function ?

I bought mine from here he deals in boxsters as well as a main agent for fiat , I bought my 2004 3.2 s and   my brother in law  bought his too ,mine needed a few bits which were sorted on warranty , the Biggie being a replacement gearbox , can't fault their customer service , they did some other stuff whilst it was in for gearbox , checked clutch and ims etc new gearbox oil correct spec  in the end the bill should have been around £4k  , I know it's over  your budget  but you could well end up spending a couple of grand anyway  , if you can buy one from here .good luck with your search 

Autoaid covers classics but you have to pay an additional premium of £15 , I've used them on a couple of occasions with no problems ,as stated it covers you and spouse in any car

Hi, I’ve been looking for a few years now to no avail, I'm looking to see if I can find my first Boxster I had, I traded it in 2011 and regretted it ever since.

The original reg is RK04 NDU it’s a Boxster S finished in atlas grey and atlas grey carrera 5 spoke alloys.

id love to see if it’s still on the road and if there’s an opportunity to buy it again.

I've obviously checked through decks mot history and vehicle checks but must have a private plate on it.

TIA, Pablo

Hit the post with this Pablo mines RK04NUV seal grey s , good luck with the search , have you done mot checker on it to see if it's still on the rd? 

S on vin number for Stuttgart cars mine, has it 

I use Fuchs supersyn 5w40 in mine it's A40 Porsche rated , it's changed yearly at mot , normally around 1500 miles or so , incidentally I use miller's 5w50 in the 944s2

£9- £10k should see you get a really nice low mileage example from a respected dealer with a warranty , that's way over budget for that car especially this time of year , you'd be better off buying from here

 Should read * 5w-40

I had the same issues , It was the brake pedal switch easy fix was about £20 , you can see if the brake lights flicker when applied that's normally a sign too , I changed the switch myself a bit fiddly but easy enough

Yeah, I'm interested on any opinions on this too.

Other than the ebay drone box, everything else seems extortionately priced (Can't logically understand why though!) 

I'm looking to replace the std one purely for a more sporty sound (It's not a daily).

Revolution Porsche Leeds do a bypass mod £250 plus vat for the 986  , sounds brill

Give me a shout OP if you want me to sort 

 

Paul

That's decent of you ,👍

I think the gundo hack terminology is the USA version of the crios mod , drilled holes in the exhaust , the bypass mod is what revolution Porsche do , I've had the bypass done and am very pleased with the result 

Tbh I prefer the first one too , second one looks too bland , especially the interior, each to their own , I also like the RS60, 

I'd be tempted to go for chukkieggs car , he's spent quite a bit on it already , it's a sound car that needs a bit of fettling , you could get quite deep  quite quickly on the car your looking at .

Just my 2 cents , good luck either way 👍

🤞, nice write up 

Too late , it's gone , great price that 👍

I took a call from A-plan this week to discuss my renewal, after initial checks the policy could renew for the same price as last year ..£270 , Did a quick  comparethemarket and I can get the same level of cover for £167 with esure

I did ensure this year £144, previous years have been with locktons , their renewal this year was £250 , admittedly it had breakdown cover and track cover , which I don't need , so went with  compare the market via topcashback ,got £25 , same cover and excess and agreed value  with esure  , hopefully I never need them 

There's a Bosch S5 on Amazon  on offer at the moment 

Good price 👍

Nice car ,and a good spec too , well done ,enjoy
