So if you want to spend the money I'd get it inspected by Chris Franklin at Center Gravity.

Although the guy who does my geo is very good (Ive used him for a few years now) I think he has his limits?
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.

I own an August 2002, 996 Turbo with 60,000 miles on the clock and its going in for a major service at the end of the month.
In addition to what's covered by this service can anyone recommend what else I could get done that would benefit the car at this stage? Im thinking gear box oil/diff oil, that sort of thing.
Generally the car runs exceptionally well and has always been serviced and maintained fully. Any advice would be much appreciated?
Thanks, Donald.
Gearbox oil would be a good idea.
On top of that, your suspension is likely to be tired and sagging (the rears almos certainly will be). So if you want to spend the money I'd get it inspected by Chris Franklin at Center Gravity. They may need a refurb and a geo setup.
Did they check the ride heights? Very few do, and as Rod says, they do sag at the rear. The nose-up attitude can make a big difference to how the car feels and performs.
Dont think the ride heights were checked at the time. Although the guy who does my geo is very good (Ive used him for a few years now) I think he has his limits? I live in Edinburgh and dont know of a specialist nearby. Do you suggest I ask/trust Porsche to check them as they are carrying out my service?
Ride height is something normal alignment places don't check. The OPC should be able to do it easily and quickly without doing a full alignment check, so I would ask them for a price before committing yourself. My indy has a gauge he can slide under the car, and measure it at each corner in about 5 minutes total.
