  1. How easily did your rotors come off?? Did they need some gentle persuasion? When pushing the pistons back to make room for the new (much thicker) pads, did you have enough capacity in your brake fluid reservoir to prevent overflow - or did you bleed a little brake fluid off? I take it you didn't bother checking run-out of either the hub or the new disc after you put it on. Is there no loctite needed on the caliper bolts on re-assembly?
  2. It is your starter motor. I had thios at about 35k miles. There is some sort of centrifgal clutch element in the starter motor, which is supposed to disengage drive when the engine starts. The clutch pack is worn, so it disengages at a much lower torque than is needed to crank over the engine. Option 1: go to Porsche and get starter motor replaced. Cheaper (DIY) option - remove starter motor yourself (it is a bit tricky, will take about 1 hr) and send to any competent auto electrician for repair. It cost me £50 to get mine reconditioned. You don't need to lower engine or gearbox to remove the starter - it can be done in situ - its just a bit tricky. The replacement is quite tricky, as getting the bolts in is a PITA - but it can be done.
