Re: 2015 981 Cayman S dim tach light
There are a number of gauge face suppliers that are a lot cheaper than Suncoast: gaugefaces.com has them from $150 to $420, e-bay $60 from China, (AliExpress even cheaper but I've been burned buying from them). I got mine from venoxy.com in Poland for about $150 plus shipping and they are great.

Re: 2015 981 Cayman S dim tach light
The 981 instrument cluster uses LED lights mounted to a PCB. I have a 981 S and have the same problem, the backlights are not on unless the headlights are on and even then, they are too dim. What was Porsche thinking, never mind that the gauge is white numerals against a light grey background ! So ...

Re: Spark plugs
The reason they have for replacing them at 4 years if you haven't reached the 40K mile limit is that the spark plugs can seize in the heads over time, good idea to put a little anti-seize compound on the new plugs. Another good tip I read is to use a socket that grabs the plugs when removing them ...

Re: Dreaded IMS controversy
The problem with the IMS bearings in the M96 and M97 engines is that they are sealed "lubricated for life" bearings, so frequent oil changes doesn't help them. The M96 engine has a failure rate of 10% (so get it replaced, there are several alternatives) but the M97 engines have a failure rate of ...
