I think pads are mandatory - but PSCB discs depend on condition.....

Hi UK folks - Has anyone yet had an OPC change their PSCB pads? Any idea of cost for the job? I think the pads have to go at 6 years regardless of mileage/wear.... Would getting this job done at a decent independent (approved / access to car/records etc.) - and then get the actual 6 years...

Thanks M that's good to know - I'm not so much worried about dates as such - It was just that, given the info (from here) that NF1/2 are more recently approved tyre compound specs - and hence probably marginal improvements (so I thought otherwise why bother?). This made me curious as to why I...

Thanks PRJ

Thank you PG for that comprehensive Info! Very much appreciated - I had no idea! So, does that mean that IF a dealer offers NF0 only (and the websites of most big suppliers in the UK do that) does it mean it's old stock? I can't find NF1/2 specified yet, but have not done a deep dive...

Folks, I know of NF0 tyres its what I select for my 20" Tacan tyres.. In fact Until recently it was the only code approved for Taycan that I was aware of. But for a while, I have seen references to NF1 and NF2 - but searches for NF1/2 for my tyre size R20, just show the same limited choice...

Thanks Dee. Tried that several times when I was doing more long runs than I do now. - Didn't see any appreciable effect on battery temp at all.

Wouldn't it be nice to have a nice stainless steel toggle switch in the dash - to start preconditioning whenever you fancy - leaving the human brain (smarter than the average PCM) to estimate when to start. OK occasionally you may be a few degrees to low; and, occasionally you may reach temp a...

Thanks Mr T - but the car's safeguards simply won't allow a handshake with any 400V charger - it's 800V only. Unlike the Taycan J1.1, which has 50kW 400V standard capability or optional 150kW 400V capability. This Merc is Purely 800V. Mercedes have now brought out an £850 factory fit...

Hi guys - Are there any 150kW chargers in the UK that are 800V? (I know Telsa 150s are 400v) - if so, which service offers these? I am asking for a Merc owner, whose car is 800V only (no 400V option) and has no 250+kW chargers closeby - cheers

I think we `Brits need a conflation word like 'Covexit' or 'Brexovid' for that joint cluster-f***

FWIW - This (email excerpt) just received from UK Smartmobility..... They promised to update me this week and today have done so.... ...at least the UK Porsche comms have improved. I hope my email finds you well. PAG are continuing to investigate the matter and as soon as we find a resolution...

FWIW - Some pundits are now predicting $90-100/barrel oil to end of year - So 600hp cars of Taycan's calibre (a Prius is not a valid comparator); may depreciate a tad more than predicted a month ago... We live in interesting times!

EON V17 - I swapped from V13 - It's not a smart tariff - If you like it, be aware it kicks in on Apr 1st - so the tariff jumps from 7.5p to 9+p night time for the rest of this month - but I don't have travel plans this month and I wanted to grab it and fix it for 12 months ... The UK...

As of tonight, I feel guilty when I see scare stories about future pump prices…. Tonight I swapped my home electricity tariff from £0.075/kWh to £0.0554/kWh night rate; a 26% drop – fixed for 12 months. Which means a 0%-100% charge would cost me very roughly £4.85. From which I can squeeze 260...

FWIW....... I just received this email from UK Smart Mobility... I completely understand your frustration regarding the matter. We are currently continuing to liaise with Porsche Germany to establish the next steps to try and resolve the issue. We hope to have an update next week and as...

Thanks J - much appreciated!

Both Smartmobility (who originally offered the payment - albeit verbally on the phone) and the main Porsche UK email who last replied to my smartmobility emails. Smart Mobility seems to have decided to hide behind the main UK office on this - so all replies now come form the main email only. I...

I am still paying monthly for Porsche connect - and have a 3K extended warranty... when they first admitted that there was an issue and slotted me in for the (useless) 3885 upgrade - the guy on the phone mentioned a 'gesture of goodwill payment' once it was all resolved [with the 3885].. and...
