Mine had the smaller battery and experienced some issues starting so replaced with a new larger original size Yuasa battery.
Although its currently in a garage having clutch and starter replaced
I will see how it goes, if it causes issues I will probably get an anti-gravity lithium unit for it.
Porsche have given the car a clean bill of health, though they have had to do some extra work to get it there, but thankfully this is one bill I am not paying.
The exhaust valve was actually a failed part, that is getting replaced. Brakes all check out good with plenty of life, they have performed major service including plugs, but have also fitted a new drive belt along with a gearbox fluid change and brake fluid change.
So all in all having got money off the car and now around £1500 of work on the car completed I feel I've manage to not only secure a great spec of car but also at a really competitive price, in short should give me two years free motoring (next service due). Should be ready for collection tomorrow so just need to see if I can make it down tomorrow otherwise I will grab it on Saturday, cannot wait.
Already been speaking to my local OPC about some modifications, just need to decide if I want to fit the 997 SSK or a GT3 shifter, I went GT3 in my 997.1 C2S and though it did not shorten the throw I really liked the added positiveness of the shifter so think I may go similar route.
My plan is also to colour code the interior so dump the red seatbelts and red door pulls and change to yellow to tie it in with the brake calipers, I may also do the bucket seat inserts in yellow too, but that is a maybe as it could look tacky. Contemplating also wrapping the mirrors silver to match the side decals as you see on Cayman R's, but will wrap and not spray just in case I want to reverse or use plastidip.
That is about it really, just really enjoy it, car has PS4S on it at moment but once they are done for I might contemplate fitting Cup 2's on it and then enjoying some track days with it as they are supposedly awesome on track.
P.S. Porsche also put coolant hoses as an advisory so the dealer has requested they change them, total bill for this service and work is closing onto £3000, really glad its one bill I did not have to pay. The dealer says he is very OCD and does not want cars he sells coming back to him, as such he is paying to sort the coolant hoses, also the AC condensers have been replaced in past and are in good condition, which is a weakness of these cars.
