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.

Mind - some of the last pre-face lift 996's had the 3.6 litre engine in it. What size engine is yours Cambsguy?

thanks for the warm welcome...
Where abouts is the Bedford meet? luv to come along if poss.. drop us some details plz.
Sounds crazy, but still trying to work out if its a 3.4 or 3.6, regisrtation doc cleary states 3.6 however the manual says it a 3.4, any one have an idea how to tell for certain,,,
Migration info. Legacy thread was 138954
Reg doc more likely to be correct... they were done direct from manufacturer's spec by then (chassis and engine number) IIRC
Doubt that any pre-facelift handbooks would have been printed with 3.6 engine details
Looking good

Agree with Wattie there about pre-facelift handbooks with the 3.6litre engine in it. Cambsguy - what you have here is a very rare pre-face lift 3.6. Well done! To tell for certain, just make a note of the chassis number and quote it to the service department of an OPC and they should be able to tell straight away.
