These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

I thought I'd fixed it the first time when it came up with clocks.
I'll start.
My wonderful wife conspired with my independent shop to source and install a new dash cup holder to replace the unit that was broken and would not deploy. While this may seem trivial, consider that the fairly ridiculous expense was such that I have refused to fix it for several years. Consider also that i pretty much fix everything immediately. Finally, there was apparently only one new one in the US parts system.
Now on to the Fister Ds with a little Christmas cash.
What did your car get?
Mine got a few roundabout gifts; a new torque wrench, a new set of Rhino Ramps, and chocks. Going to order some motor mounts and get those in very soon.
+1 on the Fister's, you won't regret them, they are fantastic!
Merry Christmas,
DS
Mine got a B&M short shift kit, mini air compressor for the track and a 50' retractable air hose for her garage. Considering an iPad mini install with Christmas cash. Merry Christmas to all!
frekin, frakkin, stupid, mother, effin auto correct. Ugh. Chocks. I thought I'd fixed it the first time when it came up with clocks.
Which makes me think of this...

Rear rotors and pads, new wipers, deck lid shock, some oil filters and drain plugs, battery tender. That showed up tuesday.
On friday my brand new griots garage orbital 6" hd polisher and a bunch of foam pads showed up!
Xmas day was cash for a new cai but not sure i wanna put it towards that
then the week before (my bday) dad had a nice print done of my car. hes an awesome photographer so took some real nice shots, played with them a bit then blew them up. one is framed and the others are mounted on foam core...very cool.
Mine got new new set of anodized reding pedals - black with silver inserts. They look awesome.... I'd post a picture but ate to much and can't get off the couch to take the picture.
New air in 3 of my tires!!
and a can of whoop azz for track days !
actually I got new brake ducts and backing plates for brake cooling - in addition to the 964 brakes I fitted to the car already (much bigger than the stock Carerra 3.2 calipers - and Pagid Yellow all the way around
Battery tender (for when I'm gone long periods on business) and a T-20 Torx "screwdriver".
And... a flatbed ride to the service department to get the whole ignition assembly replaced. After several weeks where the key has been increasingly difficult to remove, the key no longer turns at all as of Christmas Eve day. Swapping out the switch inside the dash (the fix that "usually" works) didn't solve the problem. After spending 2 hours upside-down in the driver's footwell, skinning a few knuckles, and getting no joy from my own attempts at solving the problem, I quit
At least the local dealer has the upgraded assemblies in stock, and I'll have the car back by the weekend so that I can enjoy some quality time behind the wheel.
I hear ya. I tried to replace my ignition switch but felt like I had been buried alive. I punted and had my Indy replace the entire assembly as well.
My 996 is getting a new clutch right after New Year's.
A few weeks ago I had a heater installed in the garage....now I can smoke a stogie have some bourbon and look at my car in the warmth. 3 of my favorite things
Mine got a Clutch, RMS, IMSB upgrade, magnetic drain plug, spin on oil filter adapter, water pump, AOS, alternator, new spark plugs, gearbox fluid change and engine fill with Joe Gibbs DT 40 oil. Santa certainly delivered. Oh, also a new impact wrench to remove my wheels faster.
Sport Pedal Set upgrade pictured below and a Pioneer double din radio. Now let's see when I can get the time to install them.

The in-laws got me a slew of new Griot's products to replensish my diminishing supply and the wife bought me a new set of sockets and wrenches.
I also drove off half a tank of gas.
Lol, actually does look like it. Considering it's a set of Tubi mufflers, I think I'll let Tubi know that they should consider redesigning the look if people are expected to pay over $2k on a set of "steel drums".
I'll be posting one in the spring. However it will be with intake, headers and x pipe so might not be exactly representative of what you're looking for. I'm really hoping the sound will be worth the price of admission though. The weight isn't as light as I thought though as an initial impression.
Late edition... A 'new' sunroof motor. Found on fleabay for $50. Perhaps a bit of a gamble, but compared to $300+ I took it.
Interesting that a 997 part number has superseded the original 996 part. Porsche's quiet admission that they got something wrong...
