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.

After lurking on here for a while I took the plunge on a 99 Carrera 4 last week. Picked it up on Saturday and ticked off a 30 year old ambition to get a 911.
Only issues so far is I'm getting a few rattles from the suspension which I suspect is ARB link and bush related, and also a big vibration from the rear wheels, tyres are nearly dead so I suspect it's a balance issue.
Here she is, black with a space grey interior, which I'd not seen before but really liked it.
Congrats and we'll wear. There is plenty on here about suspension and tyres.i changed all my links and dampers last year. Kept it all standard. It completely transforms the feel of the car - not just from a rattle point of view, the ride is much more supple.
You're right, I was living down under when the thought entered my head that I may be able to get one when we came back to the UK. Hence the long time lurker status!
Probably anything between 3 and 4 times what I paid for it over here, European cars are just expensive full stop in Oz.
It was also always cheaper to buy parts from Europe for the Landrover, despite paying £100 for postage. The upside being that a 30 minute job usually took that because there was no rusted up bolts etc.
I've never been that fussed about living in a sunny climate but that is certainly 1 massive attraction. Must be so good to work on a car without dealing with rust.
