Anyone else also had one of their air vents loose a bit of platic and a pin that holds it in place (its the bit that enables the vent to distribute air from left to right)...dealer said it was the second they'd seen...looks a messy job to me to fix.

Yes you cannot fix it unless you can find another pin. New air vent is around £70 for one of the side ones. Fitting doesn't take long.

Just tried renewing my warranty that expires on the 23rd January with Porsche Nottingham. They told me "No can do - only up to 8 weeks in advanced". I complained and got sent to talk with someone at Porsche Reading. They told me the same. Warranties can only be bought up to 8 weeks in advance - no exceptions as the computer system won't allow it. Bollox.

The reason I walked away from the Maserati was £1900 for the fourth year (only) and I have the same feelings now that BMW have gone mad with M cars. To me the only reason the price of the warranty is so expensive is because the cars are unreliable!

I checked with Reading and you can only renew 8 weeks or less before expiry.

But I say again (as Henry would say!) that £895 a year for full warranty cover on a £100k car in unbelievable value for money. No excess to pay, and half the price of BMW M warranty.

Well done Porsche.

Ballcock how did you manage to renew you warranty from Feb ? Was there any resistance at all ?

I have just received the same response as others - can only renew 8 weeks in advance. My warranty is up for renewal right at the start of Jan so apparently I don't qualify by about 3 days !!!. They don't want to start the new policy 3 days earlier either.

Naturally I am kicking up a fuss, but as you got yours renewed I assume this stance is just to prevent folk getting in early which is not really playing ball.

Update : Sorry missed the later posting, ballcock also got the call back etc ......

Ii think it's more a function of someone being a dumb ass accepting it. I'd check this is valid, Mr Cock and Balls....

Yup , 8 weeks it is even though I get on VERY well with the lovely lady in service at West Sussex who said she might, just, be able to extend it a tad for me! Phnarr Phnarr !

(Mind you as mine actually runs out in May we both came to the conclusion that it might have been pushing my luck just the teenysist amount - but I told her that my mate Ballcock said it was true, and everyone is doing it)

Edited to add, that I had also missed Ballcock's last posting on the subject too - and I always thought his word was law in all things Porsche (apart from PSE of course !!!)

I bet she would, for £120 an hour...!

[hussar10a]

With her I wouldn't need an hour........................so £30 should do it, unless its charged by the inch when I would get change from a tenner !!

So you'd do it three times then...
