I am not sourcing them, just providing the Porsche part number, it may well be ECP or Halford will stock if not from Porsche at your local OPC.

That was actually a question for the OP 999mch....but appreciate your info-thxs.

@½cwt and @Charlie Boy, that is really helpful I will now buy all three as i don't really want to do the cluster job out more than one !

Where are you sourcing your bulbs from please.

3 bulb types in the instrument pod up to 2000 model year, 1.2W, 1.5 W & 3W  999 631 302 90, 999 631 303 90 & 999 631 304 90 respectively.  PET diagram is not clear enough to show which is for where...

How many bulb types in the instrument cluster for a pre facelift 986 S registered Jan 2002 please.

Specifically looking for the "Convertible Roof Operation" Bulb and holder type.....Thanks in advance.

The order is placed.  Going for the Dunlops from National Tyres.  Downfall is the fitting centre is 25 miles from me and Mrs Spug has suggested we could combine it with a shopping trip to Edinburgh.... This could be more expensive then planned.

 

Thanks for all your advice

 

Stay safe

National Tyres offer "Fit at Home"

Dunlop have good reviews and are sometimes offered with buy now pay later from national tyres.

I guess the deciding factor will be your size requirement 🙂

What would be the point if the car is no longer under a warranty or is too old to have one?

My point was in the title of this thread........;-)

FWIW...and using this forum (and I appreciate this next bit is very subjective) I don't use Porsche approved tyre's.......the technology has improved so much in this area since the late 1990's. 

The Torque app might be useful-pay £2ish for the full version

Hope you are enjoying your new car.

Positive idea to buy a cover but please take a look around this website for items relevant to your model-Eg-keep your drains clean...plenty of talk on this subject.

I recall them using an outfit amusingly called ClusterFix in Coventry IIRC. Can't find them now but did find these:

The Instrument Cluster Repair Specialist, Cluster Repairs UK

Speedo Repair | Instrument Cluster Repair | Dashpod Repair | Cartronix

Good call 🙂

So managed to get it off and all back together. Needle was slightly off the 0 mark with ignition on so took off again and back in the right place. Now the needle has gone floppy and just moves around on its own 😑

Not totally helpful on my part but I'm sure gauges and needle repairs has been mentioned on Wheeler Dealers-it might be possible a few specialist facilities are located in the UK...A long shot but might be helpful if the gauge is U/S...

On a Mercedes CLS that I have the front spring broke where it sat on the base of the shock absorber-unfortunately together with a loud "BANG" the car dropped so the tyre was just clear of the wheel arch.

Because the spring was tapered at the bottom the spring un-tensioned itself and landed on the lower transverse suspension arm rendering the car un-drivable :-(

Partially blocked fuel filter.....

But customs charges could presumably be added on arrival in the UK and before delivery.

Nobody seem's to mention that on here....

Am i right in thinking Autodoc parts are shipped from abroad and therefore likely to incur import charges?

I'm about to place an order when I find the info from this post but when you work through the ordering process the only price added is "Safe order @ £3.95"

If you could post the link Kev, that would be much appreciated.

+1....I find autodoc is not always the easiest website to navigate around...

Oh well that’s the B12 kit just been ordered...£930.18 with today’s discount on Autodoc 

Article number: 1140-7791..................is this the kit you have ordered?

This decision can only be made by you...the fact that you have mentioned looking means your half way there 😉 

Just think of the weekends you can spend with your spanners all over again lol

Does the coolant cap number end in 04?

Eibach springs

As silly as this sounds do you source these direct or through a supplier?
