Haven't really needed to do much with the car for over the last year. In 2016 the only jobs I did apart from having it serviced where skimming my front discs, replace a broken handbrake cable, replace a coffin arm, replace leaking reverse light switch, 2 rear tyres, new headlamp bulbs and wheel centre caps. Not bad as far as 996 ownership goes.
Anyway, recently the car has started to show a few tell tale signs of things needing attention, plus there's a couple of other things need sorting.
So, to-do list for me in 2017 and some approx. costs:
Sort out weeping joint on aircon and get regassed - £50.
Refurb Alloys - £260.
Sort out knackered DANSK back box - £0 to £600 (depending on current discussions with DANSK).
Refurbish rear window/hood area - £????
Respray passenger door (small spot of rust on bottom) - £140.
Eliminate 'rattle' from underside of car (sounds like ARBs but I've already checked them out and they seem fine) - £????
......and if I get that lot done, may even finally resolve the intermittent lumpy tick-over :grin:
Think that's about it for now.
What's on yours?
