The staff are super slick, they've been trained well in the art of Bull...t. They have done that too with mine, on every occasion, and said it's to cover themselves. Which you can't really blame them for, but to he honest with us, goes a long way. Trust is a two way thing.pmg wrote: ↑Sat Oct 16, 2021 2:21 pmI didn't gain the impression it was just that from the words the receptionist used at the time.Wing Commander wrote: ↑Sat Oct 16, 2021 2:16 pmThe service receptionist at Swindon has done that recently a couple of times with my car.

Yes, it’s a handover check for damage, nothing more.Wing Commander wrote: ↑Sat Oct 16, 2021 2:16 pmThe service receptionist at Swindon has done that recently a couple of times with my car.

As already said, the Long Life Condition Report is listed in the service book and is necessary to maintain the long term bodywork warranty. Mine was done when it came due, but that was at the scheduled two yearly service. If the services were out of schedule temporarily, as in the OP’s case, I would expect an on-the-ball service advisor to have picked that up and got it done. I’d have thought thar Porsche should at least be coming up with a goodwill gesture here.

You Sir are being fleeced.
My car is also at Brooklands at present having the seat belt warning fixed, I too have a 1.2 Fiesta as a loaner, but that’s fine. So far I have nothing to complain about, but then I am used to Guildford’s shoddy service.
Keep us informed. I didn’t even own my car at 2 years old, so I wonder where that leaves me?
We could just swap cars and I’ll fix the water problem myself !

This is correct and needs to be dated and stamped in the service book. It needs to be done every two years to keep the warranty valid. The checks and report should be done at no additional cost.Nuclear Nick wrote: ↑Sat Oct 16, 2021 6:09 pmYes, it’s a handover check for damage, nothing more.Wing Commander wrote: ↑Sat Oct 16, 2021 2:16 pmThe service receptionist at Swindon has done that recently a couple of times with my car.

I've been meaning to check my service book since this came up, done it today. Thankfully it was completed on the same day as the 24 month service:
I'd say if the service stamp is there, as mine is, but this isn't it's either an oversight that the dealer would happily correct or a failure for which they should be held liable.http://www.porsche-code.com/PP37WLA6, a Dolomite Silver S, collected from Stockport OPC on Valentine's Day 2023, after a 399 day wait.
