I took out a Sony,so not much help there, if the fibre optic wire fits into the back, plug it in see what happens can't do any harm.Pieman7 said:Paul what radio did you take out also was the old one fibre optic. Just bought the same touch screen like yours but my 23cdr has fibre optic.

You can get them from Porsche (Part Number 996.512.250.00) but they are £95 now. A lot different from when I did mine:

We also changed the brake fluid with AP660 racing fluid and fitted a GT3 front lip spoiler looks like the one on Stuarts GT3 in the above picture, and finally fitted a new oil filler tube with cap.
I also found the air oil separator was leaking at the seal and the two rear shocks are leaking as well so I'm replacing the air oil separator and some BC Racing coil overs (I have researched them and they have some good reviews)
Did you have to remove the cats to change the pump or the rear engine mount just seems a really tight space for the pump to come out?

Sorry for the late reply, all we did was put a transmission jack under the engine to support it took the nuts off the rear mounting plate and luckily a couple of the threaded studs came out instead of the nuts so we could just sqeeze in and get the mounts and water pump in and just put the nuts and studs back on and that was it.
The old mounts were completely knackered split with all the oil gone I recon a few cars out there have knackered mounts because its not obvious they are busted.
we were going to replace the oil air separator because the seal is sligh leaking but it looks like an engine out job so when I have the money we are going to upgrade the Clutc, maybe the manifolds and definitely the bolts and change the gaskeya and anything else that needs doing
