Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Aimed at the scared American forum members who insist that the IMS is replaced, apart from that an interesting watch.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

In the "China days" they did a 986 Boxster with a seemingly borked auto(?) gearbox that they went down the "refurb the wheels black, do a couple of suspension joints and flip it" route
And Brewer's "trade your way to a supercar" ended with a slightly questionable black 996 cab with an aero wing
Be interesting to see how much they "invest" in a ~20 year old 996 as it has to be a little crusty all round at that age, unless its been loved (looks nice and original)....
BTW - I swear I no longer watch as many car resto programs as this post suggests! - too busy gardening and writing angry letters to the council about bin collection and pot holes! :grin:

watched this last night. Aimed at the scared American forum members who insist that the IMS is replaced, apart from that an interesting watch.
He has a 912. And a Volvo P1800 etc.
I know most people have a strong dislike, I dont mind him. I thought they way he handled Edd leaving wasnt great (but I can think of lots of things I have done and then regretted later). I know a couple of people who have met him and said he is a really nice guy......
Wibb' - thanks for sharing; just watched that in my lunch hour.
Yes, i know its free - but the constant ads were annoying; it also pissed me off with their constant and unnecessary reference to the IMS..
Put that aside and it wasn't a bad episode

I quite like Wheeler Dealers. There are a lot of car shows, but Brewer does occasionally find a nice project for Edd or Ant. I met Edd at Beaulieu with his sofa and he was a lovely chap.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
