What is your thoughts on this?

Here is the reply from Dealership.
Hello John,

Thanks for the email.

I was off yesterday (you should have got my out of office email) and in today until 6pm, so I was replying to you before I finished.

The car did have a couple of advisories and I have checked the details with the workshop. Unfortunately, if an advisory is put on, it can't come off again unless the MOT is a fail, which this wasn't.

The first advisory is around the rear brake disc being pitted or scored but no seriously weakened. The rectify was the discs being stripped and cleaned, new brake pads were put on at the same time.

The second advisory is regarding the rear level link seized but not affecting headlight aim. The rectify to this was the rear link being replaced.

The car has been prepared to Porsche GB standards, both in terms of the bodywork and mechanical aspects.

I trust the above is satisfactory, but please do not hesitate to get in touch if you have any further questions.

Asked and answered (well, the 2 specific MOT advisories) - both rectified, just a shame it took so long to tell you.

raises a question over the quality of the MOT inspector in the first instance, was he just drumming up business??

[Paul]

No, because they were both advisories, headlamp adjuster was seized (replaced foc) and discs cleaned up with new pads fitted.

My dealership doesn’t even do its’ own MOT tests; they get done down the road at Aston Martin

Discs cleaned up my A**e just had the rear wheels off and there are lips on them Pete Burns would have been proud of. LOL

Just see it as a challenge to wear out the rear discs through ‘spirited driving’ before they are consigned to disposal due to edge corrosion!

A wee update on this.
Porsche GB are now involved in this matter.
The dealership sent me an email saying they have a “plan “ to sort this as painless as possible for me ??
Porsche GB have asked me to return the car to resolve the issues ( my main issue is the repair to the o/s rear door which had a small 20p piece dent but the repair done is absolutely appalling) I have no confidence nor trust in the dealership and have asked Porsche GB if the car can go to an alternative Porsche dealership for corrections, awaiting reply.
Would you insist on another dealership repairing the car or let original dealership try again considering the mess they made ?
BTW now had the car two weeks and still have no paperwork like mot certificate or extended warranty schedule.

Doesn't the 111 point check they do prior to sale guarantee 50% left on the discs, or some such number?

My thoughts exactly. If the car has had its 111 point check ( which is recorded electronically on their system) and the breaks are more than 50% worn they should have been replaced.
