Thank you Richard, car is a 2002 3.6 996 Cab in Guards Red, as it appears that the exhaust has to be removed, looks like a good time to replace the rusting silencer boxes (already the nuts have rusted away ) ..... more expense ..... I think car also needs an aircon rad as well as it is showing some staining ..... but he what price fun ........ FYI drove a new Boxter S the other day, I recon it handles better than my Carrera!
