I didn't think the gt3 rs had the rms issue? Supposed to have a different block to the other 996 variants...

Sorry to hear you've had these issues. Friend of mine had similar problem on his E46 M3 vert recently & turned out to be a switch in the door telling the car the door was still open. Just a thought

Hope you get it sorted ASAP

Thanks. Hopefully all sorted now, collecting it tomorrow. I'll be buying one of those relays for the tool box!

Re the GT3's engine all variants have a different engine to the regular 996/7 based on the air and water cooled GT1 race cars, Metzger (I think). So no self destructing block like the regular cars..

Not sure about 6RS but 7RS def has RMS issues

It's IMS issues they don't have.

Fooking stealers

They charged me a total of €121 to replace the €6 relay!
