Ordered one from him a couple of days ago. Car wouldn't start with the relay, which is at least 12 years old. Oddly after I'd started it with the jumper wires, it would then start on the relay. Hoping it's not the ignition switch, which is task to get to.
New 993 Relay turned up this morning, and the car started fine with it. Failing relay was the old smaller type, could have been decades old.

I've had the car 12 years, and never changed the relay. Took it out for a drive and it seemed to be running better. May just have been the cooler air though [scam75 said:If it had a 944 part number it will be. It's been the 993 one for well over a decade IIRC.
I don't remember it being much cash, no Porsche tax rs far as I can tell.
I've had 944s for years and I've never known a DME relay to fail. Pretty much everything else has though.
