Having recently serviced my car in Belfast , I also purchased the warranty there. My worry now is that I live in Dublin (worry enough!!), and if something goes wrong , Opc Dublin are going to try and wriggle out of honouring the warranty , and Opc Belfast will say I'm living too far away from them for P. assist. (It's about 2/3 hours drive)
Personally I'd prefer to have the car looked after by Belfast. Can I make that choice?? (assuming worst case scenario of car off the road)

Porsche Assist is pan european.

You should have had a card through with your details and the numbers to call. If something goes wrong, call them up and tell them you are in Dublin. They'll do the rest.

yeah i had to remind them 6 weeks later about sending the stuff through, you will be fine though I guess as in my case they had my details on thier system and it arrived in the post the day after I made the call (or they where cheating me out of 6 weeks warranty, one of the two i guess)

it is pan european also, says so in the book.

Yep, it's pan-euro plus a few others.

OPCs should be able to see the car is covered using the Chasis number.

Well, they did for me.

I didn't get mine either. I only discovered that the OPC I purchased from hadn't had the 111 point check carried out or added the warranty when I came to make a claim a few months later. Fortunately, Reading OPC (my closest and NOT the OPC that sold me the car) sorted everything out for me and I had a few pleasant suprises in the process
