The water has got in there from the Screen Wash Pump, it tracks down the wiring from it into the CJB over time.

If I were you, I'd take it to a specialist, tell them what's happened, get them to replace the screen wash pump, fit anti water bindings to the loom, clean up the CJB and leave it unplugged a couple of days to make sure all the fluid has gone out of it.

Bushes are replaceable separately to the arms, so don't pay for arms,

Wobble on braking could be a combination or arm bushes and brakes, but, there's a bulletin to get the to do a proper wheel force balance, which normally cures it.

Take it somewhere decent for the wheels balancing, if there's no knocks from the suspension, leave it, as they tell you when they're fucked by knocking their tits off.

Another £400 for a replacement (having replaced it once before and done the OS 12 or so months ago) and Eurocarparts don't have any in stock. Seems they only last around 3 or 4 years before cracking which is ridiculous.

Interesting. Will discuss with them tomorrow.

I took it to a main dealer because the indie said the electrical gremlins were beyond them so I thought I would bring it all to them…

I forgot to reply to this. Is it actually broken, or is the water getting in through the join between body & lens ? On the Cayenne both rears & one front were collecting water and after thoroughly drying them out I trickled superglue around the join. Superglue is quite thin (and you can buy different viscosities if you really want) and works its way right into any voids.

Since then - touch wood - and through some fairly heavy rain - no more water in the lights.

But then, I'm not familiar with 997 lights. If there's electronics in there and the water has f**ked them up, we are very much after the horse has bolted now !

You will need a Jag specialist for the CJB as it will need reprogramming to the vehicle, give Tasker and Lacy a bell if your coming back up this way, they seem to be well regarded.

Soft, not as direct as the hard falling apart supersports, better ride. Overall in 35 miles I can't say I'm impressed.

Anyone else think the same about them? Or am I just being a fanny and need to pump them up more

I’m fairness, I watched the video and they do look shagged.
Although welcome to send on for second opinion.

The reason I asked them to look into this was a wobble under braking so I’m reasonably sure warped / worn brakes are the culprit.

Not in any part of the country with electricity & functional sanitation ! My Porsche Indy Tuna is £75+VAT. Main dealers must be getting close to £200.

Mine felt fuzzier than the Supersports when I changed. But the old tyres were down to about 2mm, so 6mm less tread block to flex. And they needed a good couple of hundred miles to remove all the mould release compound and let them wear to the camber setting to provide a flatter surface to the road. On my last trip up North - trying to hang on to a 600LT and a 430Cup, they felt mighty.

I don't know anywhere that cheap (aside from some 1 or 2 man under-the-arches type place).
Strasse are £70+ VAT which I'm told is half what Leeds OPC charge - I've heard tales of some OPC's Darn Sarth that are £180+VAT.
