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 still feel very new to 911 ownership... hence another question if folk have the time. Is it normal after a 'spririted drive' (say at speeds perhaps in excess of 70mph!) to get out of the car and notice what smells like burning rubber? Or if not rubber some kind of heat/burning smell coming from the engine/wheel arch area? I noticed it tonight as I pulled up at home - wet evening, only driven about 10 miles but I did have my foot down a little. Thanks Paul
Perfectly normal, bits of rubber off rear tyres hit hot exhaust silencers hence smell of burning rubber
:yeah: Don`t worry though, you get used to it after about 5 years :grin: Just noticed you are in Warwickshire Maxthedane, you should get yourself over to the local Porsche club meet when the weather picks up in the new year :thumbs:
Its a 996's happy smell
That smell of rubber accompanied by the clickety-clack-tick-tick noise after a spirited drive is one of the best things I remember about 996 Carrera ownership. :cloud9:
Not confined solely to the 996; As above, nothing to worry about. http://www.911uk.com/viewtopic.php?t=108027&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=20
The more it stinks, the better the drive. :lol:
Thanks guys. I'll continue enjoying the smell!
