My mate recently ( last year) £9k on 53 plate 3.6 ..again clutch , condensors & rads , alternator & discs n pads brake pipes and some exhaust work...all at OPC. Whooeeeee

Why use an OPC for basics like clutch and brakes on a 12 year old car , could have halved the labour bill and some going to an Indy ???I've had a couple of BIG ones...
A couple of years ago spent £4k on a gearbox/diff rebuild + MOT + big service
Spent £3k on a service end of April (plugs, coils, brakes, main belt, 2 rears, and a load of other bits and bobs). Then the alternator went 3 weeks later and that was another £400. And the AOS went last week - haven't paid for that yet.
Stuff eventually breaks on a 153k mile car.

I'm struggling a bit to understand why the £10k engine cost is worthwhile. These cars are worth between 10k-25k. Surely if it goes pop just break it and be quids in????
I don't mean to be disrespectful - I have had two 996's but ur seems crazy to me. They are a bargain to buy but not when throwing at least another 10k into the mix!

I ran a 996 C4 for three years. Apart from servicing all it needed was a set of tyres and a pair of Dansk silencers
You are a lucky man! To be fair, mine has cost around £1500pa exc fuel, tax & insurance over the last 5yrs, this year it has caught up with me but averaged out it's still less than £2kpa.Gassing Station | Porsche General | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
