Well, after 6.5 years of very happy 996 ownership - the longest I've ever kept a car - it's time for an upgrade. I'm picking up a 997.1 C2S on Monday... Seal Grey, with Sport Design alloys, Sports Seats, Sports Chrono and the all important PSE. It's also had a rebuilt Hartech engine and will remain on the Hartech maintenance scheme, so fingers crossed it will be reliable as the 996 has been! My 3.4 996 C2 will be up for sale from next week, once it's had its major service done, 81,000 miles, manual, Arctic silver with black interior, if anyone is interested - there's lots of history on it here under the running reports. I'll get an advert sorted soon, but I'm more interested in hassle-free quick sale than extracting the last £. I'll still be sad to see it go after all the fun we've had together having taking it abroad 7 times: Norway twice, Italy twice, Switzerland, Germany and France, over the years. A big thanks to everyone on this forum, especially Richard for his dedication and knowledge. Martin.

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.

Sad to see you go, but onward and upward Martin! The C2S is a great car - I am sure you will enjoy it.
Well, the 996 finally left my ownership yesterday, to another car enthusiast from Swindon called Jamie. Sad to see her go after all the adventures together - but nice to know that it will be well looked after and used to its full. Now just have to plan some long trips in the 997... I'll keep an eye on this forum, though, in case there's anything I can chip in with.
Welcome to the 997 register, Martin! Plenty going on as you will see.[ ]
