    are NF tyres really required to protect warranty?

    Thanks for the helpful replies folks... The Porsche EXTENDED warranty is an insurance policy and as such, I think the 'new car' warranty rules may not apply.. and the policy can have whatever clauses the seller wishes and then it's caveat emptor ... I think the EU warranty/servicing rules...

    are NF tyres really required to protect warranty?

    A bit of web-research says that in 2023 Porsche no longer mandated N rated tyres (perhaps in Europe only?) - & that they are only 'advisory'. But on forums like this, it seems everyone uses NF0,1,2 to avoid warranty claim weakness. To what extent is it weakening any potential (extended)...

    EU/UK: Ongoing navigation issues [Solved with PCM v3892]

    In which case, that is their problem and not yours - Your contract is with them and theirs is with the mothership. So they should serve you and arrange for the videos or whatever proof they need to be reimbursed themselves. Just my 2cents....

    UK service & costs

    Absolutely agree about wear .. But it's in the published maintenance schedule - Will be a lot cheaper at an accredited indie, but need to consider any warranty and resale history implications (if any).... Discs are not mandatory thank goodness (10k+)! They depend on inspection...

    UK service & costs

    Not 100% sure with PCCBs, but the pads are mandatory on PSCB at 6 years regardless of wear - It's an age thing - 6 years max allowed under warranty if you want an official service.... I assume same for PCCB.

    UK service & costs

    Nicely done! and great info ... The 'major' service is every 6 years when they replace pads - and possibly discs too.... :O For us with PSCB/PCCB that's gonna hurt! ... that's when it could be worth investigating an accredited indie and potential impact on warranty/history etc....

    Price of Oil and EV Demand (ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS)

    FWIW. My home (UK) electricity tariff is £0.0399 per kWh (night-time) and that's fixed until Feb '27. That's around £4 for a 0-100% charge = 250Miles (ish). For a petrol car at 30 MPG (for an equivalent 680hp 5 seat car) & £1.90 per litre (motorway prices) would make it around £75 to do...

    EU/UK: Ongoing navigation issues [Solved with PCM v3892]

    I found that the following worked for me..... taking your phone inside the car - going to privacy settings in the PCM (it will say inactive)..,. then activating privacy mode ,,,, and then deactivating it again - worked for me
