Thanks for the replies and I agree it was the vague heading for the item being the main reason for the lack of interest....
Leading evidence: 'vague heading' (1 discussions report identifying this cause; no attributable repair resolution). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'vague heading' (1 discussions; 1 report identifying it and 0 suggest it). The most frequently discussed action is 'Adjust throw' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.

It is a nice feature that you can adjust the throw to suit.

Looking at the advert again, this isn't the usual B&M short-shift kit, but the one which modifies the original shifter to change the throw.
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.

Came across this earlier on Ebay and I'd read some good reports on here about the B & M short shifter so thought I'd bid on it and low and beyhold............ I won it for £13.37 (£28.27 to include postage)!
The question is will it fit my 2003 C2 (manual of course)? Any advice greatly accepted :?:

You got a real bargain there. Probably because it was such a non-descript advert title - well done for finding it!!
The seller must be Porsche specialist Neil Bainbridge, judging by the location.
i was loking at that but didn't bid because i thought he was taking the P1ss with the postage price you can send two wheel rims for £15 , overall still cheap i know but hate getting ripped of with high postage

Thanks for the replies and I agree it was the vague heading for the item being the main reason for the lack of interest....
Richard H - your correct, it was Neil that sold it.
Unfortunately, that's the way eBay works. As you say, if you don't like it, don't bid.
Looking at the advert again, this isn't the usual B&M short-shift kit, but the one which modifies the original shifter to change the throw. It is a nice feature that you can adjust the throw to suit. I see B&M have discontinued it, but it is still a cheap buy (even with the postage). Will be interesting to hear what it is like.

I never understand people who gripe about the P&P.
It's all part of the price. :dont know:
You can add up can't you?
If £1 bid + £40 P&P < £100 value of the XYZ: that's called a bargain.
If £140 bid + £FREE P&P > £100 value of the XYZ; that's called "should have bought it direct from Tesco and saved your money!"
eBay is clamping down on "excessive" P&P, but the reason people do it is their excessive fees!
I would rather give the fees saved to the seller (or to me if I'm selling!) rather than eBay.
Great buy, I paid much more than that for a B&M "style" shifter.
I still think it is the best money I have spent on the car, the gearshift throw was so dissapointing compared to expectation on the car before I fitted this.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
