Why don't you trade it in?  This way, the dealer will fix it right and it'll cost them less money to do so then you.

I'd get a quote from dealer for trade in to see if it makes sense to fix or not.  I'd venture your fix is $1-2K.  Dealers usually milk you for $3-4k.

i already have a 911, trade in is not an option right now

cheers for the suggestions

more clarification

the camshaft adjustment clerared itself

the sump issue it the gasket leaking apparently an easy fix

Engine coil packs cracked - how important is it to fix these?

I would say doubtful... my car has had all those leaks (except for the sump) fixed under warranty and they are all known issues (again, except for the sump).

hmm

beore i bought this car 8000 miles ago i had a ppi by a opc - nothing came up with the exception of a small leak that would be fixed in the service

from experience do i have any recourse with the OPC?

is it possible the leaks could have occurred because the car spent 18 months (with 2 intervals) off the road in a garage?

Depends on if you can get any of the work done as goodwill. The RMS, Hall sensor, and intermediate shaft are all TSB issues that would have been done under warranty at one time.

you have been so helpful

do i just phone up OPC and beg for goodwill?

[sorry

the car is mine and i am looking to sell it

it has been sitting in my garage for 6 months.

it has 50,000 miles

any advice on how complex it will be to fix?

this is from a PPI on a 97 manual boxster

Code 174 camshaft adjustment bank (cleared).

Play in N/S/R drop link

Rear main oil seal leaking.

Intermediate shaft flange leaking.

Sump leaking oil.

Engine coil packs cracked.

Engine oil leak (bank 4-6) requires further investigation.

Slight leak from cylinder head 1-3 (requires further investigation)

help appreciated

in context - the car has been sitting in a garage unused for 6 months

Have a look at the threads here and here

Thank you so much

I was referred here by Scouser on Rennlist

The back-light for the digital speedo has gone on my boxster instrument pod

after my OPC and a specialist telling me it's a sealed unit and i need to buy a whole new pod for several hundred pounds, rennlist came to my rescue

only thing now is that i need to know what wattage/part number is needed so i can tell the specialist

i would do this fix myself but i am out of the country which makes things tougher

these are the potential part numbers that the OPC gave me -

3 watt - 99963130490

1.5 watt - 99963130390

1.2 watt - 99963130290

I would be extremely grateful for any guidance you can give me on the matter

car is a 97 manual
