Thanks for the replies, but I'm still not sure whether I can actually use this transponder with my car even if I can get the second (programming) code.

If not, the seller has misdescribed the unit...

Spare transponder key

Does anyone know the correct Porsche part number for a spare transponder key for a 2002 Boxster 986 2.7 Tip?

I've just bought one and been sold a pup, I was assured it would fit my pre-facelift...

Thanks Benjamin. It hasn't come back so far, but that durametric tester sounds like something to add to my wish list.

The only work I've done involving electrics so far was when I replaced the...

It's unfortunate that none of the IMSB upgrade solutions provide an externally visible identifier tag.

Mine is a 2002 Tiptronic, so unless something goes wrong, there's simply no routine reason to...

I wish I could, but I've got nowhere to keep it. Parking outside my own house is costing me £120 per month. This could be YOUR chance to own a fast-appreciating and super-cheap to insure and run...

Old coolness and new hotness.

My trusty old Citroen 2cv6 next to my new ride. There's a bit of a contrast, but also a lot in common. Both have boxer engines, both have rag-tops, both are immense fun to drive. But the 2cv...

Rear spoiler ram adjustment

The rear spoiler on my 2002 car rises and retracts just fine but with one minor fault: the left hand side never retracts fully and needs a push to get it to sit flush. The error is small, only around...

Mine is a UK model, so doesn't have a speed warning buzzer. In any case the noise was independent of speed. The car has only done 68k miles and there's no other symptoms to suggest a faulty...

Question Electronic noise puzzler

Yesterday, and totally out of the blue, my right-hand drive 2002 2.7 Tiptronic S started to make an odd noise.

It's an electronic squeal/hum (difficult to describe) which lasts almost three...

Update: it seems another common cause is a failed LCD backlight.

Probably not. Checking for faulty LCD connectors and dry solder joints involves a fairly substantial disassembly of the unit.

The most you can hope for short of that is to remove the unit from the...

I feel like I'm playing Devil's Advocate here. IMHO they're a bit better than halogens but not to the extent that they're worth the huge price premium.

I've driven both types in the dark and in...

Bumper swap completed without too much fuss today, obviously it looks much better than the damaged one I removed and I was relieved to find no further damage hiding beneath it. Interesting to see an...

PCM 1 alternatives?

My car has the PCM1 system hogging a big chunk of the dash. It must have been great in its day, but I really don't need a dinosaurian twelve year old bit of tech with very limited functionality and a...

I've got to swap my damaged rear bumper tomorrow. Does anyone know whether the centre pins to the spoiler rivets are easily recoverable for re-use after being pushed in?

Thanks, Mark_T, that's it exactly. The flat spring holds a fabric tab in place, and mine needs to be inserted further under the spring. I'll dig out my Torx bits later on and get fettling.

I've just bought a 2002 Boxster 2.7 and although it's in excellent condition there are a couple of minor problems I need to fix.

One of them is with regard to the roof: whenever it closes the R/H...
