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.

I don't think the article is so good. Actually the earlier double row bearings were less likely to fail. Many things can fail on these engines, its always just a crapshoot. I like that 9 out of 10 don't fail, I live in Vegas and those are good odds. The problem is that if you crap out its an expensive loss. I've done all I can to get the best odds possible but there is no guarantee. When I was young I rode my well worn Harley Knucklehead from LA to Houston and back. I had some electrical problems and I always was ready for it to blow up but it didn't. Part of the adventure was that I never knew if I would make it. To a lesser extent the Porsche is also like that. By the way I'm driving it to LA from Vegas again tomorrow, its my third trip. I don't worry about it any more, I just drive it. All will be fine.

If I drove all the way to Vegas and back in my 996, I'd definitely get pull over if not arrested for speeding.

That's all we need. Another scare monger doing the dirty. He is talking through his rectum. Stating the 98 to 2000 is more susceptible to failure. Completely wrong statement from all other reports I have read on the subject. More failures from 2000 to 2005 should have been the dates for that statement as the double row bearing 98 to 2000 are more robust and less likely to fail. Jake Raby says so.

Jeez guys, did you not notice the writers name. I thought it was funny. Ok, maybe it's just me.
POST 6Original post
He is just trying to sell his cylinder liners I reckon. If the early cars were the worst why did the courts have Porsche not pay out on the early cars but made them pay on the later vehicles.
POST 7Original post
That article is 9 years old. I dont think too many people knew too much about the m96s back then.

Related to Jake? His pen name?? Funny.
POST 9Original post
Jake said before they are not related. How's that for a coincidence! Plus, the article comes from the UK. What do the Brits know about fine German engineering anyway? They gave us the Jaguar for fu$ks sake!
POST 10Original post
Phil and I probably are related, but the main thing is that we think the same :-) Phil's ancestors are all from the UK, mine are from Germany.

The driver looks like he's on his phone. Must be calling the Service Department.

For 3 years I had a Jaguar S-Type and an XK8 (pre-Ford) at the same time. The service writer at the dealer knew me, my wife and my kids names on sight. It was a rare week when at least one car wasn't in the shop or we were planning to take one in. I owned my 996 for the same amount of time. By comparison, it was bulletproof. Didn't want to turn this thread to "Jag Bashing". So sorry about that. Now, let's talk about Land Rovers...
