Also does anyone know (and my keyboard is tilted in Richards direction) what the full list of changes/upgrades for the x50 were?

I spotted it at RSJ late last week and it turned out to be in excellent condition so I stuck a grand on it with the proviso that it passes Peter Morgan's test tomorrow.

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.

Hi All,
After many months of looking I have finally put a deposit on an X50 996 Turbo. I spotted it at RSJ late last week and it turned out to be in excellent condition so I stuck a grand on it with the proviso that it passes Peter Morgan's test tomorrow.
First question: It has the telephone preparation with a handset on the passenger side of the centre console. Can this be removed? It looks like the cradle is part of the LH side panel so is it a simple matter of removing the panel and fitting a blank replacement?
Thanks,
B
Really simple to remove the handset. Did it myself with a torx screwdriver. The phone unclips.
I kept the extended side panel and attached a Iphone holder to it. Look really neat.
The other option is to remove the side panel altogether, but you them need to source and replace it with a thinner one that matches the other side.
Ian!
The side panels in leather are an arm and a leg (£250+), but you can get them in black 'leatherette' at the (slightly) more reasonable price os £40 +VAT.
Firstly congratulations on your purchase. You will not b disapointed, buying a 996 turbo was the best decsion I ever made.
Ooh where from? I've been meaing to remove this since I bought the car!
Also does anyone know (and my keyboard is tilted in Richards direction) what the full list of changes/upgrades for the x50 were? I always thought it was the turbos, intercoolers and exhaust (possibly just cats) but I was recently told the pick up for the oil feed was changed and something in the gearbox??
Regards,
Ben
Apart from Turbos, intercoolers, and exhaust, the other changes I have found are:
Clutch plate (note, the Turbo S has a different clutch plate AND pressure plate)
Crownwheel and pinion (same ratio as standard)
Engine oil pump.
There may be others, but I couldn't see anything obvious flicking through the parts lists.
(Better go and cut the grass, before Mrs H starts nagging....)
Thanks chaps, MUCH appreciated.
T1X: Would you mind detailing what Ipod mount you used and what kit you used to integrate it into the system please? I have a PCM2 and an Ipod classic.
Cheers,
B
Forgot to add: The left hand lower console panel in black leatherette for a 2000- car is part number 996.552.091.06.A12 at £40.43 +VAT. (Diffferent part number for 98 & 99 for some reason. Might be the leatherette texture).
Hi There,
I used just a holder I got off ebay. Cost £6 but I can swivel the iphone which is handy if I am using TomTom.
There is not connection to PCM2. I was thinking about Dension Gateway 500, but need to budget for it. The kit looks awesome.
