  1. Hi Guys

    Can anyone tell me for sure if a rear anti roll bar for a 987 will actually fit a 2003 Boxster 986 3.2S.

    I have been struggling to get hold of one for my 986 and the anti roll bar for the 987 looks identical

    Just wondered if anyone knows

    The pic attached is off my 986 anti roll bar which has broken at the joint.

     

    Regards

  2. I have Suddenly overnight got a droning sound from my Boxster 986 s 2003. Its not the engine because the sound doesn't change if you put the car in neutral and let idle or rev it theres no change.

    However if you let the car coast along and turn engine off, you still hear the droning wining sound. Its happened so quickly rather than built up slowly I am wondering if it could be the handbrake shoes gone adrift perhaps.

    Any body else had this?

  3. Hi Guys

    Sorry for taking so long but I have finally found a brake in the weather and gone in search of the Boxster S  986 UK model emergency release cable.

    The good news is I found it and it is quite easy to access.  Basically it is in a cavity behind the rear kerb side wheel.

    I have attached an info sheet as a pdf with a step by step process with pictures of how I did it.

     

    I hope this helps other members with the same model.

  4. Hi Guys

    Has anyone had this problem with a 2003 Boxster S 986

    After disconnecting battery and reconnecting later I found the rear boot release was totally dead, no actuation or relay sound, nothing either from door sill switch or key fob.

     

    Also the spoiler is not working and the dash light keeps coming on.

     

    However the front bonnet release is still ok.

     

    I have read articles about a secret cable release behind the rear wheel can anyone confirm this or is it just American models.

     

    Thanks Fellas

  5. Hi Daniel

    Re my 2003 Boxster 986 .

    I have exactly the same problem you had in 2015 with the boot release going dead and the spoiler not working after the battery being disconnected

    and also the front boot still working.

    How did you fix it it in the end where you successful.

    I have been replacing the radio and have a load of parts in the rear boot including the heater control panel

    which I now can't access. 

    If you can help me with any info I would be very grateful

     

    Regards

    Dave
