hmmm very interesting reading the posts on the link.
it would be intersting to see what other problems uk owners are having?

i bought my 999s in may last year after my 996 bp blew its main engine casings , i guess i got one of the first ones out and ive had loads of problems with it.
so far in 7500km its-
two tacho display units
one mag mirror arm
one 57mm Ti end can
one standard end can
one engine oil leak at the flywheel side plate
three spark plug caps-coils
two sets of spark plugs
three bodge job wiring repairs
one coolant hose
one battery
.now i dont know if that sounds like alot to you, but with my old 2000 996bp i also had a frame crack on one of the welds and replaced.
