    That would depend on if the lighter socket on the BMW is unswitched (always on). On Porsches they are always on - I know my Mercedes is the opposite (always off). So, if the lighter does not work with the ignition off and the key out -- then you won't be able to charge the battery through the lighter socket.

    Hmm... why not install the two part GT3 front axle strut (lower front control arms) - that can be shimmed to whatever camber you want? Did you ask TRG about that?

    I don't know if this diagram is much better... (item 1 is the main brake light switch). It will likely help to move or remove the duct so you can see the switches better.

    Well, if you have an ohm meter you can take the seat out (disconnect the electrical connectors) and test each wire for a short. It is either a shorted wire or a bad motor.

    A good dealer would just loan you a key to have them removed.

    Ask for a copy of the options list for the car.
  8. Loren
    Not that I am aware of. The GT3 is Porsche's "designated" production race car.

    Step 1 - Remove the keep from the ignition (so you don't get an airbag light).
  10. Loren
    Central Locking/Alarm.
  11. Loren
    I would check for worn or bare wires under the seat. Be sure to take the key out of the ignition so you do not get an airbag light.

    The best (IMHO) Boxster guys in the Bay Area are RMG Enterprises in Mountain View. Talk to Bob Grigsby there and they will give you an honest evaluation on your motor mount. RMG ENTERPRISES 960 W. El Camino Real Sunnyvale, CA 94087 (408) 738-2060 For all the other stuff I have to agree - easy DIY stuff.

    MOST started in MY2003.

    Interesting - there is no switch in the pedal area on my car. Are you sure? If your Carrera has Cruise Control then you would have two switches on the brake pedal arm.

    XenonMods was removed from our Special Offers section here after delivery and responses became very "spotty".

    It is the same procedure as the 996. The clutch must be bled in the "fully depressed" position (always move it slowly by hand to avoid damaging the seals).
  17. Loren
    As long as the CEL is on steady you can drive the car. If it is flashing do not drive the car. P1117 indicates you have a problem with that sensor. It could be as simple as a corroded connector, broken wire or a bad sensor. There is no need to replace any sensors other than a bad one. As I said, check the wiring first - clean the connector, reset the code and see if it comes back.

    Two if you have cruise control - one otherwise.

    http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=4807 The old NAV unit comes out by removing the two switch panels on either side of the NAV and then press on the two spring clamps on either side of the NAV unit and pull it out. Be carefully of the wires connected on the back as you pull it out.

    Thanks! Lots of great technical contributors here. All the donation money goes into running the site (and keeping it running) -- so no beer for me. :lol:
  22. Loren
    You can also PM members Itzkirb and karlooz
  23. Loren
    Yes, your engine number is later so it should have the new seal.

    Carefully pull the mirror glass out of the metal clips. Disconnect the electrical plug connection. Press lugs (arrows) of the lower cover and remove it. Install is the reverse.
