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.

Hi all,
Recently got my hands on a lovely example of a 996TT, but it seems to have started leaking hydraulic fluid from the rear wing assembly. It's nothing catastrophic at this stage; the left hand side doesn't go up quite as high as the right.
I've already reached out to DH Automotive out in Belgium who do rebuilds of the whole system, but was wondering if anyone was aware of anyone in Australia offering a similar service? I've been quoted 725 euros (including shipping both ways) as a starting point from DH.
Pic attached for attention!
Cheers!
Not in Australia but jump on the rennlist forum. Kevin at UMW in the US has a fix ( does your car have a UWM tune? If so well played. ) and another vendor had a kit ( no need to ship yours).
There’s a shop in Ringwood/ Melbourne that rebuilds them.
SV Electrics, Steve specialises in Porsche auto electrics and does the wing rebuilds.
Ofcourse there is an aftermarket electrical kit also.
I will reach out to UMW, thanks for the pointer. The car did have a UMW tune from the previous owner(s), it's an absolute weapon.
Thanks for the pointer, I've reached out to Steve and will await his reply.
I did consider going the electric option, but it's very expensive and doesn't actually carry much of a warranty. Given the factory setup has lasted 20 odd years, I'm happy to just rebuild it (DH apparently uprate some parts/seals as well) and it should go strong for a long while yet.
Cheers
Reckon I've been for a spin around the block in that car with both previous owners. Well purchased. Just a view but compared to other examples with less km's and much more $ on asking, they are like point and shooting a slug gun vs a high powered rifle bolt action shotgun. Weapon indeed.
