A year of ownership with my C4 and £5000 later, this was for an
Alternator
Water pump
New discs
Engine out at OPC in Bavaria to replace alloy coolant pipes, whilst that was happening, they replaced the oil cooler, engine mounts crankshaft seal and various other bits and pieces.
Car has covered 6000 miles, 4000 of those in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy and France.
For the total outlay I could have bought a newer car. however, there is no guarantee I would have spent any less..
I wanted a 996 not a 997. the 996 to me is the dogs danglies no other car ticks the box like mine does.
It has now covered 81,000 miles and if by chance the engine fails, then I will be up to Hartech for a rebuild maybe something special, I'll cross that bridge when I get there.
It has a dansk system, sounds awesome. I use the car on almost a daily basis, looking for some lame excuse to go to the shops,( the long way round)and its kept outside. and if I had my way I would have a glass wall so I could admire it from indoors.
My wife thinks I'm mad obsessed OCD. But I'm really happy
