Is it normal for the temperature/fan control on a UK 996 (1998) to come up as 'manuell' (or something similar) rather than 'manual'? Probably a dumb question but it has always bothered me.

Does anyone know why this is - is it a mistake or related to where the units are sourced from?

Surely the Germans don't use such a simple word to mean "manual".

Isn't there something along the lines of "Vorkinityahselvemitpressingoftbuttons" that means the same thing?

there you are, proof positive that a 996 is a gay car driven by hairdressers called manuel and that the only real mans car is the last of the aircooled, the bomproof build-quality 993

Exactly the same thing used to bother me very much as a kid - how on german cars the clocks had 'QUARZ' on them, whereas I knew that it was actually spelt 'Quartz'. Took me a fair amount of time to work out why, since my old man never knew
