Saw this one advertised elsewhere and thought it looked too good to be true. Cat D only shows up on auto trader.

Dear dear, that's horrible .
It's got fake GT3 badge, shows owners mentally
Interior trim does not match seats.
Tinted windows
Number plate reads Porsche after 15 pints.
And the garage looks, humm !
So why anyone would look at it is beyond me

Number plates need to hit the bin closely followed by the window tinting film

Plus points: Carbon 'knob and handbrake.
Minus: Cat D pretty much ends the conversation.

And it doesn't have cruise as far as I can tell.

Same as what's in there now. Probably a synthetic 0 or 5w40 unless you asked for something else.

It has Oil leak.

I think I need a new rear bulb for my lights. Are they all the same or different fitments or power / brightness etc?

3 days and 500 miles later, lots of 2nd 3rd and 4th gear hard driving. Didn't miss a beat.

Mine sweats a little horsepower from the RMS, nothing major or worth doing as of yet according to my indi

Evening all, When did the 3.4 lose the throttle cable, and go to fly by wire?

I think the only 3.4 cars without are those with psm - or traction control.

[Chris Stott]

Mine’s a jan ‘00, with PSM, and I think, one of the earliest non-cable. Not that cable makes any difference.

[was8v]

I think it was MY00 but who knows the exact changeover date.

My MY99 has basic traction control and cable throttle.

If it's a C4 or has a PSM button then its DBW

Depends on local emissions regs if I recall the Struther book - some territories had them later than others.

I can look up when the UK phased them out tomorrow, but from memory it was 1999 for the 3.4C2. The C4 came with eGas I think.
