Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
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.

So, I've made the move from my Y reg 986 S, which I've had from new, to an '02 996 C4S. Whilst I never took an sh*t from anyone about the Boxster not being a "real" Porsche (the handling was just perfect), I have to say the 996 is something else
. I LOVE the way it looks, the power is fantastic, and it has PSE! If you have a 4S without PSE - go out and get it fitted - you'll find yourself out searching for tunnels to drive though.
The car was a little "tired" when I got it - it's got 50K miles on the clock and although Camtune had cleaned it up pretty well, it needed a little extra. So, after much reading on this and other forums, I turned to Paul from Miracledetail. He did what perhaps only he can do and bought it back into its prime. Outside, it looks great. Inside, the difference is huge. I think Paul got a little carried away (I'm not sure that the brake calipers needed waxing with Zymol Royale, which is £5,600 a pot) but the whole thing looks great. Take a look at it on Paul's site -

Could I just ask with you making this jump recently and your 986 still fresh in your mind, is the clutch any heavier on the 996 I drove a 986 for the first time this week and the clutch on the Boxster was effortless. I got back in my car and it felt very heavy. I'd really apreciate your coments.
Thanks,
Anthony.
Hmmm - I can't say I noticed any real difference between the C4S and the 986 re: the clutch. Certainly no huge difference. I'll concentrate on it in the morning - see if I feel anything different.
Heavy clutch most likely means it's on it's last legs. Since I've had a new one fitted, mine is pretty light and was very heavy before. Also the biting point is now no longer in the last 1/2 inch of travel.
