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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Gents, I am actively looking for a 996 T, but having visited a Specialist dealer in North Yorkshire (RPM) nice people ! The C4S also caught my eye, the sticking point is the good ol IMS failiure and scored bores, which cylinders suffer from this ? and apart from valium what else can be done to offset imminent RMS failiure. I really want a Turbo but if the right C4S came along it would make me think ? I do not want to be paranoid listening for every little sound and just want to enjoy the car. The sunroof option seems to be a rare option on the 4S but every turbo i have seen is fitted with one ?

POST 2Original post

I think something like this is a bargain.......Indy dealer car with recent hartech rebuild for £17.5k.........very tasty! http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?t=1381033

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Looks like he did very well there Andrew, i would have been interested in that, looks as though the original picture was taken outside Christopher Jackson Sports Cars in Nantwich ?

POST 4Original post

I think he bought it from there. The ad didn't mention the rebuild so he got lucky there. I think the 996 Turbo is also a car from someone on ph. Seems good value. Drat.....deposit taken http://www.christopherjacksonltd.com/vehicle.asp?id=889&Used-Porsche
