For those of you attempting to remove the Instrument Cluster for the first time, I've added a little more detail to Loren's instructions regarding how to remove the bezel around the hazard switch. A seemingly easy task that turned into more than an hour ordeal because I couldn't figure out initially just how hard to pull or where. See the details that are in ITALICS below. Hope this makes the job a LOT easier!

Replacing door lock
longboardebo replied to sina's topic in 996 Series (Carrera, Carrera 4, Carrera 4S, Targa)
Have you heard back from anyone on this? I also have the same problem on my 1999 996 Cab. Esentially you put the key in the door and turn the key in either direction and nothing happens. Everything was working great until 2 weeks ago. The remote key works fine, but I'm also worried about being locked out. I've tested it and the Top does not go up or down when holding the key in either position. I would be very appreciate of anyone who has or knows how to solve the problem. Cheers, Gary -

Ramps - If your looking for a decent set of ramps for your low profile Porsche, especially if its lowered to European spec check these out: http://www.discountramps.com/low_profile_car_ramp.htm I got a set of these on the recommendation of my mechanic. They work great as they are much longer than a standard set of ramps. Also, they are really lite as they are made of a very dense foam covered with no slip and plastic. Max vehicle weight is #1200 per wheel and they accommodate up to 10" wheels without a problem. I've been very happy with them, and they are a lot cheaper then some other ugly steel ones I've looked at. FEATURES OF THE LOW PROFILE CAR RAMPS Light weight but strong, a pair holds up to 2400 lbs. Built of one solid piece making them durable and sturdy Will work on any level surface and are easy to drive onto Will not damage your hot asphalt, cement, or painted floors of your garage Will accommodate sports car tires up to 10 inches wide Low Profile car ramps are ideal for use with low ground clearance vehicles like Corvettes Dimension- 56" long x 12" wide x 8 " tall, weighing only 10 lbs. Price including shipping and tax to CA was $210.00 -
Torque Wrenches - I'm looking for a decent Torque wrench to use when doing maintainance on my 1999 996. Anyone have any recommendations? Two considerations is the Torque Range - my thoughts are 10ft/lbs to 150ft/lbs since I can seem to find a need on the car for a higher torque value. And type of adjustment - I'm thinking micrometer. If You've had good experience with a Torque wrench let me know the name and manufacturer.
