I've had a problem with my Porsche 911. It was making an odd noise on start up and a strange groaning noise when pulling away. I took the car to my trusted Porsche tech Matt Barnett at Rennworks in Stevenage. Thing is we ended up going down a bit of a rabbit hole of investigating faults, sorting the IMS bearing and RMS plus doing some upgrades courtesy of @design-911 and @EBCBrakesUK .
Then for reasons you'll see I had to enlist the help of Ed from Ed's Car Care to fix something else on the car. And just when I thought everything was sorted... something else went wrong.
Huge thanks to

It was a pleasure to work on this beauty! 👊🏼
-
Glad to see you’ve still got the 996
-
Wow Matt the mechanic and Ed really have gone and done the impossible. Beautiful work, never knew the 996 could look this good
-
Love to see that despite all the money one could have and after all the cars Matt has driven/owned; his love and enthusiasm for this old 996 C2 has not diminished even the slightest. True love for his car.
-
Watching someone who knows what they are doing carries a certain pleasure.
-
The reason Matt has so many subscribers is because videos like this resonate with car people. Everyone has that car that they love, which other people may not understand, and completely relates with the honest joy that Matt has for his 996 getting a spruce up. Congrats Matt!
-
Matt a nice cheap upgrade is to upgrade the headlight reflectors into projectors 👍👍
-
Both Ed and Matt did spectacular work! That 996 is awesome!
-
Hey Matt, I also own a 996, but Targa. Small advice for bore scoring: don't rev it above 3K RPM when cold...
-
Happy for Matt he’s got a GT3 RS allocation, annoyed that the average person isn’t allowed to order one
-
Love Matt’s excitement and enthusiasm over his car!!! Still a 21 year old hoon kid at heart!!
-
I'm really amazed that Mat hadn't already replaced the IMS bearing. It's a great looking car in this color and I'm glad Mat is still keeping it and maintaining it.
-
Brilliant film, you have the knack of finding the right people like Matt and Ed. Helps us all to know who to go to going forward.
-
This was really great to watch! I liked seeing the inspection and repair process. Really shows that some of these 911 issues can be a bit overblown. Great video. Upgrades are great too
-
There is a wet IMS Kit with an oil line feeding a new wet IMS directly, you can fit it and forget about the IMS for ever Ohh you did it well done jajajaja😅
-
Very knowledgeable mechanic, thanks. Car will run great Matt, don’t stress
-
It's always nice to see people who own 20+ years machines. Btw, please Mat, change or fix the rusty wheel bolts.
-
As a service engineer I love these sort of videos. Entertaining and good learnings too.
-
Glad you chose the EPS roller bearing. Nice to see others using the same one.
