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.

Coverage and how to read this overview

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.

7 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

POST 2 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks for the hint, I've emailed Lancaster Cambridge to see what they can do. Are there any "from factory" issues with the 968's? I heard someone mention something about to many shims in the gearbox causeing the pinion bearings to go quick? Anything else I should keep an eye on? Cheers, David

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks for the info, I'll try and track down a copy. Before I bought the car I had the local Porsche dealer (Lancaster Cambridge) do a "pre-sale" inspection and they threw up a few points, nothing so major. The car is pretty cheap so I don't mind sinking some cash into it to bring it up to scratch. And I have just heard from Lancaster that a new owners handbook will cost 15 and the service book a tenner, not so bad at all - thanks for the info Melv D.

Hi Dave, Glad to see another joining me in force. Hope you're enjoying it and glad you also appreciate 'the' colour to have them in!! Drop me a line if you have any questions, I did quite some research before getting mine. Dave

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi Guys (and gals) I've just bought a 968 CS (in Scottster yellow) but alas it came with no log book (no service history ) and no hand book....Does anyone know if it is possbile to buy a replacement set as I would quite like to start "building" a service history. It did come with the V5, and I checked with the DVLA and HPI and it's all above deck. Cheers, David
