Read evidence and context
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.

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.

Well the Unicorn has kicked me in the balls again today
Sudden squishy pedal which I would assume means MC failure.
Opportunity to put in the GT3 MC there would seem to be two different part numbers for this am I right in thinking that I would need the 997 part

Cheaper to get part not in a Porsche box. The 997GT3 part is:
TRW part number PMN166
That's the one I got for my CR. Must get it fitted before our July trip.

I got Matt@Fearnsport to do my swap whilst in for service and brake fluid flush.

wont be a MC fail imo, more like a leak in the system or air lock if you have a sudden failure.
I am sure 99% of people don't know what a MC is or what it does !!
Well the reservoir is full no wet patches under the car. Assuming the seal to the reservoir has failed so pressure going there instead of to the brakes thats how it would normally fail?

That doesn't make any sense at all. The reservoir is gravity fed to the MC and there is a double main seals which apply pressure to the system when brake is pressed. If the seals stop working it would not apply pressure to the reservoir it just wouldn't pressurize the system fully.
The seals can sometimes push backwards when someone fits new pads and pushes the caliper pistons back in, but not common on these cars.
Just been out in the car again after a couple of stops the pedal feel is normal but seems to be sticking a tiny bit. When I pull up and press the brake it slowly goes to the floor.

Guess who just had new pads fitted?
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
