Hi folks. Presume, and hope, that everybody is still having trouble free CD motoring.
Mines just coming up for it's major 40K service. The OPC has quoted discounted prices (10% off and inc vat) of £480 for the service, £465 for new front pads, and £899 for new pads AND discs (not that the discs need doing yet).
A local Porsche indy (using OEM parts) has said £312 for the service, and £192 for the pads.
So that's a difference for the service and pads of £441 smackers. Do you think, come part exchange time, the fact that a non OPC stamp has contaminated the service book would have any real effect on what they're going to offer?

Mines at 38K now, will have to look at service soon.
As previous posts, I had a lot of cocking around with this ticking. OPC said it was pads and insisted I replace them. They was plenty of life left in them, but they had a big crack across the pad. They discounted pads from £249 to £140 and charged me 0.9 hours to change them at £86.40. All plus VAT. First 20K service was £420. Only difference between 20K and 40K service is pollen filter, unless you're at 2 years old now and having a fluid change ?
As others said, I'd stick with OPC at the moment..... Ask me again however in another 2 years and then at 90K ....

I don't believe xenon lights were standard at all on the diesels...perhaps on the GTS/Turbo's?? Feels rather stingy of Porsche - a bit like the lack of auto-dim mirrors on lots of the cars I went to see
Thanks... I understand that the cornering Xenons may have been an option, but I thought 'basic' xenons may have been standard. When I run a search the Porsche approved used car locator, ticking the box for "bi-xenon" headlights doesn't change the short-list of cars. Basic xenon lights didn't become standard on the 958.1 Cayenne Diesel until the run-out Platinum Edition. When I was looking at used Cayennes, I was amazed how many people weren't willing to pay for something that brings such a huge safety benefit to night-time driving. Just one of the reasons I bought a brand new one; I love my steering PDLS headlamps :-)

Thanks for clarifying Pete. Must be a glitch in the used-car search function. Am looking at a car with a decent spec (PASM, Bose, full leather, etc) but xenons not specified.
Shame as I like the rest of the car but don't really want one without xenons.
Is there a way to spot xenons (wishful thinking that maybe they just forgot to mention xenons on the spec list)

I've noticed that on the motorway recently at night. You can see flashes of blue in your rear view mirror in the distance, making you think there's one of the emergency services making progress through the traffic. Then when it comes past, a 64 plate something or other with LEDs fitted.

On a different note, I should say we just got EIGHTY SIX pecent of what we paid for our V6 Cayenne at 2 years old from a Porsche Dealer... Amazing and backs up the fact the Cayenne is the lowest deprciating car in the UK.
If you don't mind me asking does that include extras or was that base price 86%? and was it low mileage, that's amazingly good! muzski said:
