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.

My list of niggly electrical issues on my 944 Turbo is slowly growing. Nothing major – central locking stopped working, occasional blown headlight fuses, etc.
Looking for recommendations of shops in Melbourne that specialises in older model Porsches before I give up and pay my local auto-elec $100 an hour to scratch his head.
Oh I'm in Northcote and work in Fitzroy, so recommendations close-by would be great. SV is juuuust out of the way for me.
Vinnie, if the job is basic & you're happy to try a general Mechanic you could try M&A Maiolo Mechanics in St George's Rd (near Piedmonte's). I use them for my road car & basic jobs....they recently did some electrical work for me without issue. Not expensive & get the job done. Will be on your drive to Fitzroy & the tram is out the front...
Cheers

Sometimes (often in my experience) simple cheap solutions exist.
Yeah I've done the basic things like that. Ideally I'd like to tackle this stuff myself, but the list is growing and coupled with my lack of spare time I'd rather just have someone reputable to knock everything out.
Quick update, ended up making the trek to SV and was very happy. Quick turnaround, very knowledgeable, had replacement parts on-hand and rebuilt switches and whatever else instead of replacing to save me money. Went through everything on my 944, works great now! Invoice still stung, but I'm sure it would've hurt a lot more if I went elsewhere. Would recommend to anyone that needs the electrical sorted.
