993 price drop

Yes, they forgot to fully tighten the front wheels.
Oh, and they did loads of test driving to check the problem was cured, used all the fuel and didn't put any more in (which of course I would have payed for). Hence the fuel light came on after a 1 or 2 miles of leaving the OPC, seen as I don't know the area I was left searching for fuel with little reserves. I had to resort to filling up with Jet's finest strained potato water.
Also, the car was returned very dirty with oil splashes down each side....I assume from them doing service work to vehicles on adjacent ramps.
All in all, a farce. They will never see the car or me again.

I would avoid fPsh as porsche are only interested in wet customers who need warranties.
i had a customer who bought a 996 C4 99 T 2 owners FPSH, 25,000 miles
3 weeks later 6gear vanished, new gearbox £4800 + vat + fitting,
Porsche warranty sorted it all out for him, no claim form, no calls to call centres, No Problems,
Not bad for £725 a year
Exactly, water cooled customer who needs his warranty.
Especially as the 50p ball bearing that he needed to hold sixth gear together wasn't available seperately. Air heads don't have that problem.
Only yesterday I ordered one clip that goes between the airflow meter and air box, all without having to buy a complete top end.

My first 993's gearbox blew up. Diff disintegrated, I lost 1,3,5 gears and so popped back to the local Kent OPC for diagnosis.
I was under the impression that these 993 boxes were basically bulletproof. The OPC were too, and sent the broken box back to Stuttgart for analysis. New gearbox and clutch under warranty, over £8k worth of work (according to them).
Very glad I had the warranty that time!! Don't have one on my current 993, however, as I'm not having it serviced at the Kent OPC...
Just a counter point, I've loved all 3 of my 993s but I guess I got an unlucky one first time round (only had 43k miles on when I bought it, from an OPC funnily enough)

Warranty still good if not serviced by OPC. Independent must have authorised equipment. It's been EU law for at least 18 months if I recall correctly. Porsche GB Reading will confirm this
