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.

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.

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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I've just got a 981 Cayman, with 2k on the clock and an OPC warranty until Dec 2017. The car is on a PCP so i'm not that fussed re re-sale value as it'll be getting swapped at some point in the future. My question is what can and can't I do in terms of the warranty ? Examples as follows: - 1) - Do pads / discs have to fitted at an OPC or can I use a Porsche specialist ? 2) - Do tyres have to be fitted at an OPC or can I use a local tyre place (N rated tyres obviously) ? 3) - If I was to get a PORSCHE side-door decal fitted (not purchased by or fitted by an OPC) would that invalidate the warranty ? 4) - Assume servicing will need to be done at an OPC as that would effect the GFMV final price. Apologies for some pretty obvious questions. Gav.

POST 2Original post

I asked specifically about the tyre replacements when I bought the car and was told any garage can do it, and it won't invalidate the warranty, provided they are N rated tyres.

POST 4Original post

Tyres; I've used both etyres and black circles. Black circles were best value and suggested by my OPC when they couldn't source the right tyre(?).

POST 5Original post

I bought tyres from black circles and OPC Portsmouth were one of the fitting partners, although there was a £20 surcharge for using them.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
