    Who has third party warrenty?

    Waste of money. Wear n Tear clause exclusions everywhere. The best insurance is a full pre-purchase inspection by a marque/model specialist with report and negotiated work fixed by the seller. If no PPI, don't bother buying a 3rd party warranty.

    Advice Please

    You cannot diagnose without SD diagnostics. My guess is an ABS sensor. But it is built-in with the hub and bearing. SD should tell you the fault and what is the fix. That wheel bearing hub with sensor for a GS is around £400+VAT. Front sensor half an hour labour. Rear sensors more labour.

    Wheel alignment?

    I recommend a different place near Chesham, but you say that is too far away. https://www.wheels-inmotion.co.uk/wheels-alignment.php Another place is Center Gravity near Atherstone in Warwickshire. https://centergravity.co.uk/ Very good. Chris and Pete know what they are doing. Work on...

    ALA Car Warranty worth it?

    Waste of money. The catch-all is the "wear and tear" clauses. They'll be happy to take your money and then argue like **** why the fault is not covered. Caveat emptor

    Recommendations for a trickle charger

    Both my cars are on trickle chargers continuously. The Turbo has a CTEK MX 5.0. The Gransport a cheap LIDL product. Both are anazingly good and never damaged the battery. BUT In the event of a power outage, when power is restored, the CTEK resets itself, the LIDL obe doesn't. How do I know...

    Insurance Repairs

    If you are insured with a specialist such as Locktons you can have it repaired by a Maserati approved repairer. If through a volume insurer off comparison sites, you will be directed to their repairer with many hoops to jump through if you don't want to use their volume non-specialist repairer.

    Breakdown Insurance

    Check the age of vehicles covered in the 'Essentials' policy. Green Flag state the age of the vehicle must be under sixteen years when I was last with them for two dailies and two classics.

    Porsche 911 for sale

    Good luck! Its a tough market for many cars, including Porsche. I think the interest and audience on this forum is going to be very low. Have you advertised on 911UK and the PCGB websites? There are a lot of cars for sale but these sites have the greatest traffic for Porsche enthusiasts. Both...

    Sports Pipes Gransport

    I was thinking about these. But I'm in Spain till the end of February. Do let me know if you stumble on these again after my return. I'd discuss with Marios first to make sure it doesn't create drone or CELs after having them fitted. I have Marios's X-pipe and the original centre-pipe with...

    Best battery

    I would try MB Forum. I am on that for my daily driver W211. There are a couple of MB Technicians on it who seem to know literally everything about MB cars. I would not waste time posting on this or the Porsche forum for any queries on the W211. There are several. I am on this one...

    Best battery

    You don't need to do that if you buy from Tayna. I bought a new battery for the Gransport and they said they have the record of sale for the warranty. Simply call them up if claiming in the warranty period, they will check their records and confirm next steps if still in warranty. Very good...

    Check Engine Light

    Mine is kept on a CTEK charger when it is being used as well as when it is on SORN. I had a CEL situation. Did a battery reset. Light went off. All fine for a couple of weeks. Happened again. Battery reset. Solved. Then after a month, CEL again. This time, the battery reset did not resolve it...

    Cambiocorsa issue help

    Have you considered taking it to a specialist to get it sorted? This cambiocorsa transmission is complex with multiple dependencies on different parameters and electronics. Hardly anything within the scope of DiY I would have thought. After some of the troubleshooting journey, so often the car...
