    It will not fit. I have been down that path before. The turbo lid is longer front to back by quite a bit. I.E the engine bay opening is smaller on non turbo cars. Thats what they mean by cut. Mega job to do.

    Thanks for the reply, i can go on a bit sometimes, but what i wanted to know was, will the light extinguish itself when the fault clears. I.E Can i take each wheel off & short the sensor cable out then check light until i find which sensor set is at fault.

    I have a warning light on. Its 2nd in from left 996 2001, Think its brake pad wrning. It had new pads & discs fitted when i bought car many years ago. The light was on then, Never bothered me. Now its MOT time & new uk rules. No warning lights or a fail, Do i need to get the light reset or is there a problem. All pad wear sensors ok & car has only done 21,000mls. Any help appreciated.

    Mine had that problem on one side & it was a ***** to get the plug to insert. Eventually it did go in but as said they are flimsy. Surely easiest way is to check the socket with a voltmeter before inserting the headlight,, no voltage & the problem is elsewhere.

    They do not sell batteries any more at costco in the UK. They stopped stocking them a while back.

    Thanks very much for that. It looks pretty straight forward.

    Jus a quicky. How do i get the instrument cluster forward or out enough to change a blown lamp.

    Wow how wierd is that. I just received my key blade this morning from them, They are good & they clone a lot of chipped keys from motorcycles/scooters for me, which is my busness doing cat D/C write offs that rarely come with both keys. I asked them & they can do the porsche key code job, but they are in Kent & need the car to read codes. I,m in Leeds so its a long drive.

    Ok thanks for that. We have quite a few locksmiths in uk that advertise they can supply new key & program for around £90 Maybe this will be the route i take. Stupid thing is i only want a spare key as going to sell the car soon & does not look good with only one key.

    Hi thanks for that but can you be more specific, I.E is the key immobiliser part a different job to the door locking mechanism. In the key fob there is a little metal tube which i guess is the immobiliser chip. Then there is the rest of the remote door opening circuit board. Are they all limnked or is there 2 seperate functions. Sorry if i appear thick on this subject.

    I know i need to get a locksmith or porgy dealer to program spare key for car but can i program the key fob for opening doors etc or is this all part of the coding system, I have a spare key fob as mine is US/ duff

    This the mod i did some years ago & they sound great. Basically it,s the same a genuine sports exhaust from porsche but without the valve & actuator. Only problem with this mod is it can be a bit too much if you do long runs.
  13. skyline
    Yes i will be doing soon. I do start it & run up to temerature regularly but i know what you mean. Thanks for that. Shame to sell it, i love it to bits but could use garage room to do more bikes.

    Thanks for answers. I buy & sell cat C & cat D insurance write off bikes & scooters, most of which come with either just 1 key or no keys at all. The latter being i have usually to purchase a new ecu, eg Vespa GTS 300. New throttle body ECU assembly best side of £400 + new key set & then code manually. On the other hand when i get just 1 key there is a company in the UK you send them to & they clone your key & return it registered post. I take it this is not the case with the porsche system. Sorry to appear a bit dum but i have not had my 996 out of the garage for 3 years. And not been off the driveway for 4 years. Sad i know but work & other stuff,,,
