    Things lost after update

    Mine did this pre-update. Annoyed the hell out of me for some reason!

    UK service & costs

    At least on Silverstone's service manager's laptop - the drainage check was a tickbox on his electronic service form. He unticked it and it dropped from £1200 to £550. And this wasn't a made-up figure off the top of the guy's head - I saw it on the laptop screen in front of me. I called...

    UK service & costs

    What's everyone doing with the drainage checks on these services? I'm being quoted £1200 with checks, £550 without (Silverstone). Seems like plenty of the quotes people are getting from other dealers don't even mention drainage checks. I don't want to be a tight-arse about this on a £125K...

    Carrera White Metallic opinions?

    I like my Carrara White but I don't find it very metallic. I've seen a few Ice Greys now and they do seem to have more of a flake in there but otherwise looks surprisingly close to CW - that'd be my pick if I specced this car again.

    UK Configurator updated for MY23

    As it happens I've just today placed my order for a GTS ST - at least I'm in the 18-month queue.. which is exactly how long I have left on my current Turbo, so it could be worse! I've just noticed "Door Release Levers painted in Black (high-gloss) " on the configurator I'm pretty sure wasn't...

    periodic "spongy" brakes. that don't stop. if i die please have my family sue Porsche

    I've had something similar the first drive after washing the car - sometimes the next day. It's the first 5 minutes of driving when regen isn't enabled. I've pushed the brakes and nothing happened, STAMPED on them and then they worked fine. I've also had horrible grinding noises at this point...

    Wear on 18-way red upper seat bolster

    I guess you're implying this is a warranty case, not normal wear and tear, are you?

    Wear on 18-way red upper seat bolster

    I've noticed wear on my upper outer bolster on my driver's side 18-way seat: (doesn't show up particularly well on an iphone picture, looks more obvious in real life) Anyone else here with Red 18-way sport seats with wear like this? Would you consider it normal for a 9-month old car after...

    Different Greys on Taycans

    Interesting that people see Ice Grey quite differently. I *do* see it as a variation of white - my Turbo is Carrara White, I had an Ice Grey saloon the other day at PEC Silverstone and it just looked like a more metallic White to me. Which is a good thing, for me at least - my white just looks...

    brand new Taycan Turbo - creases on seat bolster ok?

    No. My sales guy just ignored me. I told the post-sales rep (who was handing other warranty issues) and he took it more seriously and forwarded the complaint to Porsche UK, who wouldn't approve the claim because they said it was a natural crease. I should have chased from there but to be honest...

    any rear dashcam users? radio interference

    It's the CarCam.nl one (which in turn is "incarbite") - the one that fits over the rear view mirror casing.

    any rear dashcam users? radio interference

    Some Googling says I should use a ferrite ring (or two) around the cable, so I'll try that and report back here.

    any rear dashcam users? radio interference

    Are there any dashcam users with a rear camera installed in their Taycan? Have you had an problems with radio reception? I've had issues with both DAB+ and FM radio reception since my dashcam was installed. i finally tracked the issue down to the rear camera causing the interference. My camera...

    Solid consumer advice for the normal man/woman on the street! :D

    What’s the classiest colour?

    That's such a great red. I don't think many people spec it because it looks pretty awful on the configurator, but looks so much better in real-life. Difficult to spec anything except Black for the interior though. It's between that and Ice Grey for my Sport Turismo if that ever becomes a...

    looking for Taycan owners for motoring event in the UK end of July 2021

    Hi everyone, Unfortunately I've just heard that the Taycan VIP shuttle part of the event isn't going to go ahead this year. But, we'll try again for next year when hopefully things will be a little more settled. Thanks

    First Porsche - Finance and spec help!

    What APR are Porsche quoting? They offered me 7.1% (ouch!) but got them down to 6.5%. This was October 2020. I was due to pay around £1400/month with £15K down from memory, but in the end I put down a very high deposit to bring it down to £400/month. I think if you check other threads on here...
