I know brake fluid is hygroscopic, but it is a closed circuit. So where does the water come from? Never understood that… one of life’s mysteries!

By and large you should not be losing 5-10% battery charge over night. Are there any after-market additions such as a permanently wired dashcam that is always on? If not then it needs a trip do a dealer to sort it.

There is a whole thread on service costs with figures from around the country and what is included. That looks quite high. You should get a discount on the brake fluid as reduced work since they are doing the brake hoses. I suggest we keep to the existing thread rather than starting another one

I am not sure how you would charge your car if it wasn’t next to a building. Who puts their home charge point in the middle of their garden? It is on the side of the house

I think you are correct. Your insurance plus the gap should pay a total of £61k, up to any limit specified on the gap (might limit their payout to £40k for example) and minus any excesses. I think you would only be short in that scenario if your insurance settled for <£21k and there was a limit...

Mine dropped this year which I presumed was due to fall in value of the car. However my 20 yr old son’s also dropped more than I would have expected for the extra year of NCB (on a tatty old car)

With regards to cables, it depends what you want to charge from. Public chargers between 3 and 22 kW usually need you to have a cable. DC chargers are all tethered

My front tyres came with 7mm so they are fine. Porsche recommend >3mm so I doubt you will get much off for the tyres. To check the battery cover you will need it up on a ramp. Any ding >3mm = walk away. There is a massive thread somewhere on here about that. As others have said, look carefully...

Well I just got my renewal and it dropped to about £960 from (IIRC) about £1200 last year. And, even more amazingly my 20yr old son’s has gone down to £460 (old car, but even so). Admiral multi car policy. Not worth shopping around

I presume they have got confused because of the relatively high mileage you have done. It is due its third service at 4 years when I suspect most of us will have our third service at 6 years. So they just read it off and recommended new brake pads without realising that this is a 4 year service...

Maybe my first car was faulty then

Did it ever work better than that? I have had 2 Taycans, MY22 and MY23. The first was a bit like that, the second car the water came straight away. I assumed they had added a non-return valve into the circuit so that there is always water in the tubing. If yours has changed then maybe there is...

Be sure there is no damage to the battery tray before you spend any money. The $17,000 quoted earlier will look cheap if the battery is damaged. Needs to go to a qualified repair shop who won’t tell you the cost until they have taken it apart

Yes indeed. Notifications back for me this morning.

Mine too

Mine was serviced last month and I too have had this pop up today. Apparently it need brake fluid, air filter and other changes. I just opened the app to check and they have now disappeared. Presumably a glitch on a server somewhere. I was going to phone my OPC tomorrow but now there is no need!

You do have a turbo s so there will be a lot of power. In a straight line mine scrabble for grip a bit which the traction control then gets hold of. Round a bend or roundabout I can easily lose grip and start to slide. Happened today and had to reduce the power or I would have lost it...

I don’t think it is worth it from what I have seen on here. I think @tigerbalm had Burmester and the Bose - iirc there isn’t much between them when you are driving. I doubt whether it should be a deal breaker
