older cars have a return line, my 03 for example does not. You are experiencing a common problem where the plastic fuel nozzle on the level element ages and cracks and leaks. Good Luck

You speak and write about the X100 PAD of which I know nothing.

I own and use an Xtool X100PRO2. It will change the odometer on this cluster.

You say your cluster has green and blue connectors and I assume a grey one. You need a cluster with these color plugs. You will also need the cluster to be for the manual transmission. Beyond that...

OP said he was after the clips. One part number. If he was after the pads you would be right.

I have done the fuel pump thing a couple of times and my recollection is that the indexing of the pump is guided by hoses and wiring. More or less idiot proof.

Correct on the water pump. The engine room ends up no more crowded than originally.

Agree, the I like the 986 after 2003 for the rear glass window. The 2005 adds an upgraded interior. The 2009 eliminates the IMS problem. I really like my 2003 S with a 6.2 liter LS3.
