Good thread.
I read this:
It's booked in this week for some fluid changes at a Porsche specialist.
Brake fluid
Gearbox / Diff
Power steeringAnd I thought: "uh oh"
Then I read this:
I've finally got the Boxster in good working order and it's ready for my Brother's 40th NC500 trip at the end of month.
And I thought: "uuuuuuuh oh"
Finally, this
The events leading up to NC500 were not ideal.
1). The exhaust system connecting studs were not existent and was held together with rust.
2). The lower structs were badly corroded and not safe.
What's the plan now?

The Boxster is a keeper, I've tucked it up in the garage until the spring next year. I will squirrel some money away over the winter and fix everything in one hit.
The E39 528i I might keep and use it as a dog walking barge over the winter. It's a reasonable easy fix doing the cooling system. Or I might sell it as a parts car.....

All the drivers door issues have now been corrected and it's fully operating how it should, really chuffed with that.
The remedy was a window regulator replacement and door lock mechanism. I went with a good quality OEM regaulator from a Porsche breakers and £25 VW door lock mechanism. A VW part (pictured) was removed so I'm quids in overall.
I've fitted the tequipment 5 speed Gearknob, huge improvement...
