4 year service 8000 miles , quote from local Porsche dealer - wonder what an independent or another opt might be ?
New spark plugs after 8k miles ?

Thanks for the comments

I see Halfords will recharge your air on for £50 so £200 sounds nonsense but the power of the brand .

So I take it I could defer the spark plugs to a later service and still get the stamp but would need the air con check to get it ?

On another thread I see someone got their air con inspection reduced to a check only and prices reduced to £50 at opc.

I agree Porsche are not that bad especially as it is every two years these days but I also know there will be the inevitable phone call on the day saying they need lto polish my differential for £150 !!

I have every sympathy with changing fluids as often as every 12 months even if the manufacturer says every 2 years but spark plugs after 8k when the car is running fine ? Most manufacturers recommend after 50k ish and they will be erring on the safe side . It's not the money it's the principal - not being a mug that is ripped off doing unnecessary work..
