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.

7 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I've got a couple of problems with the 1999 Carrera 4 I've recently purchased. On the digital speed display in the centre of the console some spurious marks have just appeared in the past week - they're coloured like the digits but look like random scribble. Sometimes these change after the ignition has been switched off for a while. I wonder if anyone else has seen anything like this? The other problem is some scratches that have appeared on the left side squab of the back of the passenger seat low down. I'm pretty sure they weren't there when I bought the car, and I suspect they've been made by studs on jeans or a belt buckle or something, when my partner was getting out of the car. Can anyone suggest the best way to repair or treat the leather to conceal these marks as much as possible? Many thanks Ed

POST 2Original post

I can't say I know what's wrong with the digital display I'm afraid - I haven't heard of a problem quite like that before. As for the leather marks, these people have been recommended by other members for leather repairs: http://www.dynamixdyes.com/index.php

POST 3Original post

+1 for dynamix, used it on my 944 and the results are phenomenal

POST 4Original post

Dynamix for me too [ ] Worked like magic on my 944 classic grey leather.

POST 5Original post

Nick, didn't know you ventured onto the dark side, I should have said I used Nick's dynamix on my 944 with phenomenal results, so good infact I then went and bought some myself[ ]

POST 6Original post

The darkside mate! I embrace all Porsches [ ][ ][ ]

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Many thanks for the tip on Dynamix - I'll definitely follow that up. Looks like nobody has any ideas on the display problem? I guess it'll have to go into the garage - trouble is, here in Cheltenham, there doesn't seem to be a Porsche specialist for 50 miles! Ed
