Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Discussions that contain suggestions: 1

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

Suggestion · Original poster
I sent the V5 to DVLA ( UK vehicle licensing) for correction and whilst they are ok to amend the chassis number they won't change the description as they require a manufacturer model code - which I assume they will input to generate the correct description.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

2 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Porsche won't help ! http://www.986forum.com/forums/images/smilies/mad.gif I spotted the chassis number on my V5 ( licensing document) was incorrect ( one letter) and the car description was Boxter S , not Boxster S - I sent the V5 to DVLA ( UK vehicle licensing) for correction and whilst they are ok to amend the chassis number they won't change the description as they require a manufacturer model code - which I assume they will input to generate the correct description. I spoke to Porsche who said I needed to provide the V5 as proof of ownership - I explained that DVLA have the V5 and the code I want is hardly top security - they refused to help unless I get the V5 back !! Does anyone know the Porsche manufacturer model code for a 986 Boxster - thanks
