I have my oil changed every 7-10k miles, because I would want to leave it 20k. Having said that mine is currently in the garage for the 9th time in less than two years, so it seems daft not changing the oil whilst it’s in.

Well, the RRS refugees will be reassured by that! Maybe you should explain, but not if it's going to stop me sleeping 😃😃😃

Your Macan is in that often?! Is it diesel related (DPF) etc? I went petrol for that reason…

Welcome

Looks great.

The Spyders in matt black were not a standard finish if I remember correctly. Only downside of the Spyders is that they are a sod to clean.

The round tailpipes indicate that it has PSE, standard Turbo tailpipes are square.

Great that you have the most important option fitted, heated wheel.

Hi Col!
Thanks for the welcome. The Matt Black was done by Porsche Brooklands. The car was supplied with silver wheels but they refurbished them before I bought it so I suppose Matt black is now an official (Brooklands Porsche at least) finish! They do look a bugger to clean (not tried yet) but the matt finish hides a lot of the dirt anyway. I’ll be using a brush to get to the worst bits. It doesn’t have keyless entry which I need to get used to. How can I do the callipers though, a lot is hidden by the wheel.
The car is pretty fully loaded (it’s a one owner car and the previous owner was a diamond dealer(!) keep searching for theirs stash) and yes it has PSE. It has various stuff like embossed headrests, whatever the power steering plus options is called, some form of headlight upgrade (I think!) and some other bits and bobs. I love how it sounds but the neighbours def know when it starts up. It’s loud! Compared to my last car it’s so different but so much more of what I wanted. Smaller, better to drive, more soul and way better value. The main feedback so far is it definitely feels like a Porsche product even though it’s an SUV. The reviews were right…

Yes, but the reason it’s been in is nothing DPF related, the dealer broke the sunroof, they broke the fuel rail replacing the EGR, it’s had a new Adblue injector and a new seat belt warning sensor twice, oh as well as two new transfer boxes. And all in only 26k miles.
But I do love the car as it’s a great spec and a joy to drive.

Nope, you could spec round tailpipes without PSE.

Oh God. Sound like a bit of a nightmare, hopefully all sorted now. I went Porsche / German for reliability! On the boxa.net forum I am on for my 986 (very good btw for other owners) Porsche seem so much better than LR for doing the right thing on warranty/customer care issues.
