Any recommendations? They have to travel to see the car, its not available to take to the dealer? What is the typical cost?

Pro Porsche in Brighouse are simply excellent....I used them when I used to own a 997 and they are all ex OPC and very knowledgable and well priced, cheaper than almost every other local rival.....

Probably the best indy I have ever used.....

Speak to Richard who owns the place.....(tell him Ash the solicitor recommended you!)

Lol....not looking for any 'referral fee' or similar! In fact I dont even own a Porsche any more, so it is purely sincere advice based on my own experience!

RPM, my Dad uses for his boxster, great service but will only do the inspection at their premises, same for Strasse. Pro porsche very helpful and will do the inspection off site. So all good. Thanks for the recommendations. Well all good but I have no date or commitment from the current owner to have this done... I will check in today to see the status.

Had a Porsche 964 inspected by Peter Morgan associates near Manchester four years ago. Four years later I reflect on their report and it was 100% correct i.e. they missed nothing and the issues they spotted were accepted and fixed by myself. The only thing that was not done that, in hindsight I'd have done, was a cylinder leakage test to ensure the cylinders maintain pressure and don't leak through scoring, bent valves...

Pro porsche did the inspection with a verbal report for 65 + VAT. Faults found - sticky electric door mirror switch, squeeky clutch pedal pivot (which was oiled at the same time) rusty exhaust bracket bolts, same for the turbo heatshields and the aircon did not blow cold, which as it was a 2000 car he suspects it needs new compressors. Everything else good. Car bought. Time will tell if they were good or not, but I am very happy with their service.

That sounds like a VERY short list for an 11 year old Turbo, either that or the inspection wasn't all that detailed (for £65 you can't really expect it to be) and a thorough looking at will reveal more areas for attention. Aircon is more likely they told you condensors, not compressor wink
