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.

Arctic silver.
Raks...that is why the Porsche dealers are so nice to customers.
I agree it does seem a little steep as it shouldn't take longer than 1/2 an hour at most,even if you have trouble getting the new ones out of their packaging.
Front pads £75 + VAT, discs £92 each. Asuming that you also had discs, the price is reasonable. If you didn't, I hope the coffee and receptionist were worth it!
Hi
Need to have the 24k service very soon.
How much has anyone paid for this service?
Just so I can cry now and not in front of the service manager when they present the bill.
Have lots of other things to do on the car, but all will be done at their cost.
