Thanks - the fans are on their way and also a new radiator cap. Will speak to my mechanic to ask about whether the coolant system was bled properly.

There is no mixing of oil/coolant this time round, although there is a little bubbling in the coolant reservoir after about 5 minutes of idling.

Boxster engines NEVER have head gasket problems! Most likely you have a cracked head as this is common for early Boxsters. You must find a Porsche mechanic that knows Boxster engines to remove the heads & inspect for cracks. Checkout Autofarm for more info.
