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.

actually, just realised my drivers one has gone floppy. the vanity light switches itself off sometimes. not a big deal. i guess the easiest way would be to buy two new ones. can't think of anything that would make something regain the spring in its life. u could try viagra Migration info.

Interesting, as this was about the only "problem" found on my 996 when I had a pre purchase Porsche inspection done. That and a dodgy ashtray action I believe these had to be replaced to solve the issue. Migration info. Legacy thread was 48609
