An absolute must: Have the car looked at mechanically by a qualified, specialized Porsche mechanic, not the type that repairs Hondas, Volvos, and M-Benz. You want a mechanic that knows these cars inside and out. It might cost you a couple hundred, but if you're serious about this car, it'll...
You can't fix it. The entire gauge cluster module must be replaced. The required replacement part can only be obtained at a Citroen Service Center. This part cannot be obtained elsewhere.
I have owned several 911's over that past 40+ years. I had a strong opinion God intended ALL 911's to have a clutch pedal on the floor. Until my neighbor let me drive his 997 equipped with PDK a few years ago. My current 2012 (991) Carrera S with PDK is a glorious thing, especially in today's...
Even if the battery were suspect, it wouldn't make a "clank" as you've described. It wouldn't make any sound at all. The best thing to do is to have the car diagnosed by a mechanic

I am setting up this thing Gmail offered me, it's called a 2-step verification, where Google texts me a code whenever I try to log in from a different location (security reinforcement).
I think it's a great feature, but I don't know if I have to pay for those incoming messages, especially since...
There are no new "4 seat" Porsche cabrios in your $45k-$70k price range. Even in the current 911 (997) range the 2 rear "seats" are more suitable for packages than for people. Anyone older than 3-4 years of age can't sit back there.
The 2012 911 (991) will be even more costly than the...
She doesn't just hand out her cell phone number to some random strangers she sees on the street.
Celebrities keep their phone numbers private because otherwise they'd be getting phone calls from their fans every second of their lives.
I wish you all the best finding it out, but you're unlikely...
