Hey it was a simple question, I've owned 19 cars over the last 23 years and none of them had a common reservoir!
So to someone without intimate 996 knowledge it seems a bit of a strange thing to be doing.
Weird. Of all the cars I've owned over the last 25 years the only ones I remember having separate were the mini and the mg b. Swedish, German, french all combined. So to someone without intimate 996 knowledge it seems a bit of a strange thing to be doing.

Most of the cars I've owned have been German.

ks. I'll get my coat.
I did Google it first. But under the bonnet there is the battery front and centre and then two reservoirs on either side. One is clearly brakes and the other is screen wash. I'd guess on the left hooker the whole brake thing is in on the other side in front of the driver.
So yeah whatever it is the car is now stranded. I did move it a bit on the starter in gear but didn't fancy doing this too far.
Now I guess it needs recover and repair.
This is my first break down in a long while and only a week after I sold a perfectly good working car. Although the red exclamation mark could of saved me if I had not ignored it.
I think I noticed some fluid below where it was parked - towards the middle. I wasn't sure which car it was from. I was hoping it was from the car i just sold but I guess it might have been fluid leaking out of the slave cylinder now.
Is the slave cylinder a common failure?

I have a feeling the pics in this thread might just be a catalyst for the prices starting to push north on 996's.
It really does look nice on those wheels at that height.
OP, is this a daily driver?
Well I have 3 cars. The intention is to use it as and when. Even though it is a bit track oriented with the suspension setup I dont have any intention of tracking - well not right now but that might change. I didn't really plan to buy a 911 with hard suspension - it just happened. I've never driven a standard car. Maybe I could try some different setups and the decide. In a way it helps to add to the occasion because when you drive it there is never a dull moment. The bumping around alone is enough to make it feel different and exciting.It really does look nice on those wheels at that height.
