Car is at Swindon OPC for its first service today. Got a nice 19-reg 718 Cayman in Carmine Red for the day.

Mentioned about the recall that VanB had, but my car has no recalls registered against it. They’ll do a precautionary visual inspection of the water pump and fit the replacement front indicator.

Am wondering if mine’s the first Carrera T having its first service...

Some nice cars in the showroom including a GT2, several 992s, a Cayenne Coupé and a 991.2 GT3 with Touring Pack - Agate Grey, bucket seats, PCCBs - a snip at only £210k! :shock:

GT2 RS is only £425k. ;)

Service completed and I have the car back. £495 all in. Oil change, new oil filter insert, air cleaner, odour & allergen filter, plus a litre of Mobil 1 and a bottle of screen wash. And they replaced the front indicator lens that was suffering from permanent moisture/condensation. Lots of meat left on the brakes. Rear tyres down to 3.4mm (left) and 3.7mm (right). They’ll be checked again in November when I get the winter wheels/tyres fitted. Mileage was 18,708. Service was slightly early (before 20k miles) to squeeze in at the pre-hike price.

Thanks. Yep, I read about some folks getting quite varied tread depth readings. 😬

Hi Smithy. Have no fear, I will update on here as soon as I get any updates. ;) I’m hoping to collect my car tomorrow (Wednesday) afternoon. Cheers,

Got the car back from Litchfield Motors. Wow!

I love the sound and feel!

New manifolds, Sports CATs, Remus silencer and ECU remap.

Power up by 31% to 480bhp and torque up by 23% to 408 lb ft.

The new feel of the car and the noise are intoxicating! I shall have to exercise restraint as this could easily be a licence loser! :twisted:
