Well, I took the plunge and purchased a white 944S today and I already love it ![]() Car is very tidy with virtually no sign of age either inside or out, only a small tear on the drivers seat bolster. All the electrics work (sunroof/windows/mirrors/seats/rear wiper you name it). The only fault I can find is that the accelerator is a bit jerky (as mentioned in an earlier post). It has the usual box file of receipts/records along with the owners manual and even has the sunroof cover ! No doubt other faults may occur as I get used to her but for now I am well pleased ![]() I will put up some pics if the weather improves tomorrow (and I can stop myself from driving around in it ![]() |

Apologies to dial up users As promised, heres a few pics (sorry taken with mobile whilst raining ![]() Also, had a quick look under the bonnet, and my throttle cable seems to be very loose which may explain the jerky feel. I will investigate further if/when the weather improves. I dont think it looks to bad for a £2000 car ![]()

Looks good! Throttle cable can be adjusted at the throttle body end. Regards, Adam |

It is possible to retrofit it but you need a new front cover as the pump bracket is part of it. |
