Thanks for all the comments, very useful tips.

I spoke with another boxster specialist who said it could be the variocam shaft? Which parts cost 375 plus VAT from porsche plus some seals etc, incl labour it's about 1k pounds total. If they diagnose and it's what they suspect they will just take the diagnosis cost off the fixing cost. That's reasonable right?

Is there anything else worth doing whilst they are there? They said it will cost more on the pre 2000 model it's more difficult to access?
