:shock: Four weeks into ownership and the bills start to mount!! My ultra clean S2 had a bit of neglect underneath and has needed new discs, pads, ABS sensors, handbreak cables, power steering belt and new cam-box seals when the timing chain tensioner and belts were inspected + given a 12,000 mile service, plugs, filters etc (gear box oil was old, old, old and now fresh has made the shift much smoother!). £1275 all-in fitted by local Independent Porsche shop. That said it has transformed the feel of the car and i can now park on a hill without having to put bricks under the rear wheels to stop it rolling away!!! Also relieved to hear the timing chain, rollers, waterpump & belts are in fine fettle :D

Happy to pick-up costs on a 21 year old super car, but please let that be the last of 2011 :roll:!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I'd say you did quite well with that lot for the money. Discs/pads/ABS sensors for all 4 corners soon add up just for the parts.
Tis the joy of a 20yr old car but once going well you can;t beat it and it won't depreciate!
