I’ve just been quoted £901 for a 2 year service from Porsche Stockport. They are adamant that the brake fluid needs replacing as the brake hose recall didn’t include a flush. Looks like I’ll be doing some phoning around tomorrow. Can anybody recommend somewhere in the northwest or midlands? I...

I probably won’t buy another one but that’s mainly because I’m 60 and insurance in the UK is going to get more and more expensive as I get older. I reckon I’ll sell it when I’m 65 and see if I can’t buy something weird to drive around in. May be there’ll be a Zeekr 009 equiv in the UK by then.

I was working near the Porsche dealers today so thought I'd drive over and see what they have to say. 200m from the dealers, the phone disconnects from the PCM and re-connects. When I get to the dealers, everything is working fine so I turned around and went back to work.

I hadn’t seen that, thanks

Great. I’ll do battle with the timer/profile to make sure I charge at cheap rate and hope it fixes itself in a few days

My app is reporting a charge level of 94% and thatvthe charging plug is inserted. The battery is at 46% and charging away according to the pcm.

Mine is back working now too. Now I’m wondering if Octopus smart charging will work once the Connect subscription ends.

I can see an insurance problem with the roof crack and the insurer arguing whether it is a manufacturing defect or accident. But I've never had a claim where the insurer refused to pay out what what was quoted for the repair. Is insurers doing this some sort of American thing? Anytime I've had...

I made a similar list when I bought my Taycan. It’s interesting that you put navigation on your list. I’ve never bothered with any cars in build nav and always used Apple or Google maps. I do wish I could display Apple Maps on the drivers screen though. As for the infamous 3.3mm dent, that...

You're right about the problem with long trips even if 99% of your trips are < 100 miles. You're wrong that PHEV is the answer. It might be the answer for you but for others the answer might be a second car or just deal with the charging infrastructure, which is my solution as the Taycan is my...

My Taycan came with a subscription to the Porsche charging service. Which is all very nice, but how do I find supported chargers so I only pay the discounted rate? This weekend, for example, I was visiting Bletchley Park and wanted to find a near by charger as I had a bit of spare time and it...

Press the menu/ac button on the lower centre screen changes the upper screen to the heating/ventilation screen. But press it again and it takes you back to the previous screen it was on, whether it’s Car Play, radio etc.

@Jm13rs I’ve got the same car and wheels and get about the same range as you’re getting. I have no idea how people are getting ranges towards 300 miles. I bought an obd dongle to check the battery health in case that was a problem. It’s at 92.2%, to pretty normal for the mileage on the car. My...

The last three characters in the tyre spec give the weight and speed rating. Eg W rating is for up to 168mph. Have a search, there are plenty of charts in line.

A theoretical range of 322 miles and 27.6kwh/100 miles is way more than I get on my 4S CT. I think my is reporting about 40kwh/100 miles.
