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.

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi all potentially been offered a 996 Turbo which may bring me back to the fold, a long shot but just wondered if anyone knew a 996 Turbo reg F2 RUF ? Any advice very welcome or by PM Thanks Phib

POST 2Original post

This used to be my car. I traded it to Porsche Guildford. I think I was 2nd owner - first had spared no expense servicing and maintaining with Porsche main dealers. Only thing that I was never 100% sure about with it, was the headlight trim. Scary fast. No problems while I owned it, except changed alternator. I did a track day on Silverstone GP circuit - great fun, and didn’t stress the car one bit. Had its big service, early, at Porsche Guildford. I would have kept it if I had had cash to buy new, and space on drive - had neither. Did you buy it ?

And as far as I could establish, it had not been breathed on by RUF.
