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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

My 02 3.6 C4 cab just pooped itself. No warnings, just stalled at traffic lights. I sensed something wasn't right. So I didn't restart it, as no knocking or rattling sounds. Just pushed it to safety. Little drops of oil to a massive puddle beneath in no time. Specialist confirmed IMS. My 8th porsche. Strangely not upset me. What next. I quite fancy a 964. The hunt begins. I think I'm going to eBay it, may try a PH ad, but not sure it would work. Any opinions on price and best way to sell would be appreciated.

Have a friend who wants to buy a failed 996/997 in order to have put right by a specialist. if interested PM me and I'll send on to him. My 2003 C4 had scored bores, and after fixing all issues, took him to Le Mans in it this year and I think he was convinced of best route to ownership. Ross

If I've said it once I've said it 5 times! Haven't posted for a while. It can't be that difficult to not repeat yourself....

Just as a matter of interest I see there is an American company selling kits to instal a v8 . Goes very well by all accounts.
