My first Boxster!

SO, anyone know a great place online to buy these parts?

They quoted me $635 for one freakin' ac condenser at Porsche Center Oslo...

A quick look online shows £52 for one condenser (looks legit?)

Any feedback is much appreciated?

EDIT*

So I google the parts number that Porsche Center Oslo supplied me. 996 106 13251. Turns out - he has given me parts number for radiator, not condensator as I asked.. What a n00b. So I called them up again, and got the parts number for a condensator. 997 573 91101. Turns out - it's even pricer than than what turned out to be the price for a radiator! $688

PCar 'professional' - a Porsche specialist?

I will have the car service (small service) within two weeks, I'll ask them to do a quick status on the whole cooling system and let them know one ac condenser is broke. I will most likely do the job myself.

By the way! I just got a PayPal invoice from Becker
I placed on order for a iPhone cable and two radio buttons (mine are sticky..)

Description Quantity Unit price
BAS-1319 1 $29,99
1285.815 2 $12,40
USPS Intern. 1 $25,00

Subtotal $79,79

Thanks for the input Madmods

So, another day, another two jobs to tackle

First, I decided to replace my coolant cap.. went for the newest one off ebay.

Then, I decided to research why my remote trunk didnt work. I could hear the motor running as i held the key button down a few secs, no action. Decided to remove the lid and see whats what. Turns out the release cable was broke No biggie I figured, but turns out they are like $170 Damn... looking into just mending the tip of the cable, I dont a whole new Trunk Lock Actuator:

The top black one is the trunk release cable the operates from inside the car, the bottom white one is the one for the remote and is the broken one:

I installed the iPhone cable to my Backer radio last night by the way.. Just used the radio keys, tugged it towards myself, unplug and replug new cable.. 15 min job
Since one must unplug the cd-changer sugarcube from the behind the radio, at therefore cannot use the cd changer (I would never have used it either way), I'm putting it on ebay just to see iof there's any interest. They are listed from $150 to $350..

[haz]
