    Seized cooling fans and my solution

    Best Mod I've seen, well done. Still limping mine along and cleaning out every couple of months in the winter (uk mudfest ) but now outer ring of the fan blade is rubbing on the ext housing and the bearing rock so these are now spent after almost 4 yrs / 33k miles. Worst design I've seen. ....so...

    Ahhh yes, thanks and apologies to all. I was too busy driving and enjoying my free from troubles 4 yr old CT4ST to notice the thread. I think they are so awesome, its not tried to kill me or fry me so we are still in love.

    PORSCHE ORDERED to STOP SELLING their ELECTRIC TAYCAN with IMMEDIATE EFFECT!

    Am I the only person to see this ? Is this just the UK ? If this is true, there will be yet more huge claims, increased damage to used values and dive bombing of the UK ev market. If its not true, then I've been suckered.

    Unidentified vibration from transmission

    Best answer so far ? So as I said, loaded her with crockery, tools, luggage for 4 weeks incl porker roof box full of wife’s shizzel for a villa…then hammered it to Spain. Sometimes I heard it, 99% of the time I didn’t. Heading back on Sunday with the intention of changing my almost 3 year old...

    Unidentified vibration from transmission

    Thanks for that. Hardly inspirational from Porsche ! So, I thought I would go down the road of precise wheel balancing and maybe new tyres etc then I thought fook it, I’ll follow Range Rover dealer comment of “bring it back when it gets really loud ….. so I’ve just driven to Spain with wife...

    CYCLE CARRIER - CT4s - 2.5 yrs on and I need to take 2 or 3 bikes to Spain BUT didn’t tick the crazy OM bike rack / scaffold creation for £2.5k so has anyone had success with a Saris or other hatch rack? Taking a roof box so not room up top. Anyone??

    Private plates - cheesy or cool?

    Already done the ''willy swinging plate when the 4S was new back in '21' but all too recognisable when hooning around the place. I find this to be THE best UK sourced private reg out there ;-/

    Devaluing the Brand for a Sales Finance joke .

    No, we did it on absolutely everything for two years. We use a national accountant so nothing dodgy!!

    Devaluing the Brand for a Sales Finance joke .

    Agree, in hindsight, contract hire /monthly may have been the better route. I bought outright, claimed the VAT ( 20% tax ) and Company corp tax at 130% post covid so it probably stands on the books at less than half what I paid. I don't really care, awesome, exciting, practical car and with the...

    Porsche’s valuation of Taycan

    Oh boy, i hate bad EV news....It used to be called a Friday afternoon car in the good old days of British Layland & drinking at work was acceptable, not PC now, shame :-) I guess they made many "Tincans" on a Friday HOWEVER....I absolutely love my VERY reliable CT4S of October 21 vintage, 20k...

    Devaluing the Brand for a Sales Finance joke .

    Oh dear, Leicester Porsche breaks cover out of desperation ? . The headline devalues the brand when really only a fool would take 4 yrs, 5000m at 11.3% apr and a £60k balloon and no final guaranteed value! Same on you Leicester Porsche.

    Connectivity issues UK and recall

    Apart from not been able to see any instrumentation, listen to music etc, not sure if it affects the PSAM gyros and other safety features, I wouldn’t like to test it hence pull over and restart. 2nd time this has happened in 20k miles so not stressing.

    Connectivity issues UK and recall

    Yep, on route to Porsche to have winter alloy swap, PCM bombed mid drive. Had to pull in, turn car off and on before PCM fired back up. Service reception said there was a recall and a very recent software update to do. I didn't have time so will attend to that another time. More updates than an...

    Trading MY23 4s CT for a MY22 Turbo S CT - thoughts

    But sticky rubber and drive the 4S like you stole it, even in the UK wet ( can't do that in a TS ) - save 1yr warranty, £30k - £40k min, plus a HUGE load of depreciation, go 40m further on a charge, The TSCT could be a pup in hiding re reliability issues on heaters / 12v battery drain...

    Quandary on new GTS

    Mine arrived in March 23, I was one week before collection, fortunately, I only put a much smaller deposit down due to the fact ( maybe that ) I am a previous CT purchaser, I had the same thoughts, far more expensive car crashing even more cash is not my idea of fun. Keeping the CT4S (20,000m )...

    Thieves scoping Taycan

    Only person I personally know who lost one was when he left it at the airport meet and greet, Manchester! ….they said it went from their secure yard…with the keys. Note - wheels are £5k min so best not leave it for too long on a street me thinks
