Hi to all.
New boy to the forum. I am an engineer on a private motor yacht here in southern France, great place but thin on the ground with regards to Porsche chat. You are a great find!
For your interest i recently had an odd problem with my 993 which i traced to a breakdown in the earth strap (battery neg to chassis). The car would initially fire then die with a complete dash board black out followed by a chattering of about every relay in the car. I checked the battery with a load tester and all was well and as the earth strap is braided copper (non PVC covered) i assumed that it would be ok. I made a quick replacement having checked the continuity (intermittant) and all was well.Shows you can never tell.
Migration info. Legacy thread was 9592
