  1. Well I got good news . . . . . . The battery was bad, had a good charge but when tested it failed and since it was only 3 months old was replaced for free. Car starts with no issues and also glad I did not throw away old switch which would appear to still be good :D NOTE TO SELF: Listen and Follow advise of Elliottc26 & RFM :renntech: Thanks Guys
  2. Battery is not the issue, at the moment I have a good charge and terminals are tight and clean. I thought it would have been the ignition switch (which I replaced) because of the symptoms at start, but still when turning the key all lights flash (brightly) hear popping noise in rear speakers (radio is turned off) windows go up/down about 1" and I hear a loud clicking noise all while turning the key. This had just started, had turned the car on with no issues and drove to store and back and then 1 hour later went to start again when this happened. Thanks Hmmmm was searching this forum and came across this post http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?s...amp;hl=ignition which is the exact same thing I am having and his cause appears to be the battery, guess I take back and get tested/replaced. will update just so the thread has an ending for future searches ;-) Thanks

  4. May be a good idea to get your battery tested??? Good point and I forgot to state that the battery is new and has a good charge. Thanks
  5. Hi All Last night had started car and went to store and all was fine, later went to start car at house to move car and the following started: Turn key: 1). Hear strange clicking noise 2). All lights (dash, overhead, radio) all start flickering 3). Windows go down and up (as if you were lowering top) 4). Hear noise in rear speakers Car will not start. Thought it might be ignition switch (and had extra) so I replaced, not much difference except lights do not flash as much and windows do not go up/down. Car still will not start, I have removed the negative battery cable to let computer reset and will go back out in a few to retry. Car is: 986 2.7 5 speed US base Any ideas?
  6. Thanks to all for the advice, yeah and even to juniinc for reminding me to search the site :D I was looking at the Goodyear F1's a bit back, they had great reviews but never seen any reviews from a Boxster owner. :cheers:
  7. Uhm, so what??? You the topic mod.............. :angry:
  8. Hi All Looking for a tire recommendation for both size and brand. Boxster 986 2.7 Rim size: Front: 18 x 8.5 52mm offset Rear: 18 x 10 58mm offset Also on the use of spacers (cosmetic look) Street use only, no winter where I live. Thanks for any and all suggestions. :cheers:
  9. They will disconnect the plug connection to the spoiler drive motor and also remove the light from the cluster so as not to get the spoiler indicator light at start-up. You should be able to see the connection if you remove the luggage compartment lining in the area of the rear panel.
