After a number of months searching the classifieds I've finally taken the plunge. I have a 2002 996 cabriolet C4s in blue/silver with grey leather, 54000 miles, I'm missing the handbook so it's good fun hitting google to find out what does what which is how I found this site. I've booked in to have a new headliner and hood fitted as this is showing it's age, I have also ordered a leather dye kit to reduce the door cards as these has water stains which won't come out. Lots of small tlc items to attend to to get the car where I want it. If people are interested I will keep this thread updated with the progress.

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.

Hi welcome to the forum and congratulations on your purchase especially with a cab 4s but I might be biased. You should definitely keep the thread going we all love a good progress thread :thumb:
Hi congrats. Smart car. It's not a C4S though. More like C4 with the Tiptronic S box which some people wrongly call a C4S. As long as you didn't pay C4S money for it. Enjoy though. Nothing like that feeling of achieving your first 911. :thumb: Colour is Polar Silver. Nicer than Arctic Silver. Looks great with a blue roof. :wink: That's what I'd go for.
Congratulations on your purchase, and to Porsche ownership, and welcome to 911uk. I think folk around here will be disappointed if you don't keep your thread updated with your intended progress. :thumb:
Congrats and welcome. The owners manual is about £25 from Porsche. I had to buy one. I found a USA version on line and have it in iBooks. I can send you a copy or a link to down load. Send me a PM if you want it. First page to read is how to gain access if your battery goes dead :wink: Best of luck with it - there is plenty of help and knowledge here.
Welcome along. This place is the number one information resource for a 996. :thumb:
Also - the parts catalogue is available in the FAQ section I think, and a link to a workshop manual
Welcome young man .. any faults or niggles then please post .. I like answering those sort of questions Manuals are here .. http://911uk.com/viewtopic.php?t=83491
Polar Silver cab with blue roof oh yes!! (But I also may be a tad biased) Welcome and enjoy!!
Oh I can see I'm going to have to brush up on my knowledge lol. Yes it's a C4 tiptronic Many thanks for the kind replies will definitely keep you all updated.

Welcome Nipper, I saw Polar next to Arctic the other day, Polar is way superior! Your car looks stunning. There's a TIPEC group in Peterborough, not that close. Google TIPEC and PCGB to find local meets. Jelly babies for the win btw :thumb:
