Re: Porsche Swindon or Porsche Reading

If you are sticking with OPC I don’t have any experience of Reading but Swindon have been consistently excellent for me over some 15 years. I also think, based on some of the older threads re OPC charges, they are cheaper than Reading?

Re: Wanted : Gen 1 Macan Turbo Performance

Volcano is a good colour and much more forgiving than black, which unfortunately only looks good when sparkling clean. I know, I had 4 before I learnt my lesson 🙄

Re: Best value oil? Mobil 1 or another...

Unless you plan on changing or supplying oil yourself, buying 5 litres is not economical as it has a shelf life which reduces once opened.

Re: OPC Recommendations for Servicing Up North

Just wondering if there are any OPC’s a reasonable distance from Leeds that aren’t utterly useless? Might be a long short, but surely someone must be getting good service somewhere? Mutually exclusive terms I'm afraid - "OPC" and "aren't utterly useless". And that's UK wide let ...

Re: 2017 Macan Turbo For Sale - very high spec

Now sold to Cridfords via carwow. Shame as a private buyer would have got a bargain. Haven’t sold a car privately for 10+ years and it was an interesting experience dealing with the scammers! Probably the right way to go. Sold many cars privately over the years but a couple of years back sold my wi...

Re: Turbo or Gts gen 1,2

Had both. The Gen1 Turbo has a 3.6 Porsche lump, whilst the Gen2 GTS has a 2.9 Audi. Both similarly quick but the Turbo delivered with a powerful thump when floored, whilst the GTS is certainly better planted, better sounding and more fun to drive. After the first few weeks of ownership I considered...

Re: Service Book

Should definitely have a service book for Gen1 and 2 included in my case. OPC can print out a record. Unfortunately Porsche don’t have the same system as e.g. Jaguar, where all you need is the Vin and you can view any car service history yourself.
