BOXSTER HAUS

October 2025 (selection)

1999 Porsche 911 Cabriolet (996.1) Engine 3.4
6-Speed, owned by Steve A. Currently 121,000k

Brief: Soft Top issue, LH Door Glass not calibrated. Inspection.

Steve & Karen own a very cool 996.1 Cabriolet. This particular 996 is charcoal grey and much loved. It’s a stablemate to their 997 Turbo. Karen will be using the 996.1 for motorway journeys. The soft top issue was caused by leaking rams (LH/RH) and a dry motor, mainly due to a lack of soft top use (up and down). The hardtop is used more often than not and does look quite sharp. Aside from a slow-starter motor and the usual deterioration of the front strut bump stops, the 996.1 is in great condition.

We look forward to future servicing and discovering more about this particular 911.

Notes: Image 1, lovely lines, particularly in a dark grey.

2005 Porsche Boxster S (987.1) Engine 3.4
6-Speed, owned by Bruce A. Currently 106,000k

Brief: Minor Service and Inspection.

Boxster Haus assisted with this particular sale. Bruce’s Boxster S will be delivered to Tom in WA. Bruce has maintained his Porsche well and kept it in excellent condition. The pre-sale routine service included a cabin filter, our recommended Liqui Moly engine flush, and a magnetic sump plug (a must-do) for these cars. Despite the Boxster passing a roadworthy inspection (before visiting Boxster Haus), Julian noticed that the front suspension bump stops were damaged. Tom was happy for us to replace them. A precise wheel alignment ensured the Porsche was well planted.

2007 Porsche Cayman S (987) Engine 3.4
6 Speed, owned by (Simon A) 108,000k

Brief: Suspension & Brakes

Another Porsche Boxster Haus assisting sellers/buyers. The previous owner was Kevin (Featured in September 2025). Simon is very passionate about his newly purchased Porsche. The brief was simple: get her right (suspension & brakes). We fitted Bilsteins, Brembo discs, Textar pads, sensors, and anti-rattle springs where required. This particular Cayman is one of the quickest we have driven. A little rocket ship; the previous owner drove her as designed. Sorting the Cayman was a lot of fun. Awesome result.

We love our Bilsteins!

2010 Porsche Panamera 4S (970) Engine 4.8
PDK, owned by Mark & Karen A 160,000k

Brief: Oil Leaks, Engine & Auto Service, Brakes and Bump Stops

Mark & Karen’s Panamera had been on blocks for 18 months whilst travelling. The Auto (PDK) was sketchy (not responsive) and needed servicing. As discovered, the gearbox oil change was well overdue. Mark loves his Porsche, and it is well cared for. As expected, everything has to be right. There were bad leaks from the engine sump and the plug, the rear bump stops were in poor shape, and the electronic handbrake cover needed replacing. A wonderful cruiser, and highly advanced for a 2010 Porsche. Another precise wheel alignment improved the drivability. The right-hand rear shock absorber had lost its rebound, the first B road, the PSM (Porsche Stability Management) would fail due to the top sensor disengaging.

2004 Porsche Cayenne (955)
4.5 V8 Auto, owned by Tom Shaw. Currently 161,000

Brief: Brake work

Tom brought his very nice Cayenne back for new discs, pads, and sensors. Since the wiring overhaul and service, she has been running really well. These OG Cayennes are something special, effortless to drive. This one now stops as intended, having exhausted the life of the existing Textar brake pads. With rural land, the 22-inch turbo wheels are not so practical; considering changing to 18-inch wheels and all-terrain tyres. Dirt roads pending!
