Hi, Im after the following.

Front oil crank seal
Timing Belt/Tensioners
1 x white plastic gear for electric sunroof
1 x lifting arm that is operated by the above gear (n/s).
Outer front arb bushes.

Where is best to get bits and bobs like these. I have seen in other posts that porsche are cheap for the small bits. Is there a website/phone number or should I call one of the Porsche centres?

Thanks
Tim
 
For the majority of these you just need to ring your local OPC. Alternatively Exeter are quite 944 friendly.

Getting this sort of thing from a breakers means the parts you are fitting are as old as the broken/missing parts so just as likely to fail again.
 
I've just fitted an updated front arb and used flo-flex polybushes. Cheaper from their eBay shop than direct and really happy with them.

Exeter OPC used to give a discount to Titanic 944 listers courtesy of Fen's encouragement. Do they still do that and is there a particular contact?

They certainly give a Club discount with your membership number. Worth asking, you never know!

Chris is the parts guy there.
 
Leicester Porsche Centre are very helpful to club members aswell and if you call Glenn in parts he will look after you very well,he knows his 944s too.For midlands based people it's very central to pop in on too,very freindly helpful bunch of enthusiasts.
