Read evidence and context

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 performed work without a confirmed outcome: 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.

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.

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

PistonHeads: 1 discussions

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Completely bonkers place, Oaktree Grarage in Newton Poppleford, Devon. Apparently been there for years and years. Loads of exotica peppered around and the proprietor Crispin a complete apparent eccentric. What a find. Anyone over the years been there? I was on my way to SCS Porsche in Honiton when I spotted a delapidated purple 964 festering outside what appeared to be a shed so investigated. What a find!!!!!!

POST 2Original post

That'll be Crispin Manners then, rather well known

I've been a customer of Crispin since 1990, wouldn't go anywhere else.

POST 7Original post

POST 9Original post

Top bloke Crispin What he doesn't know about air cooled Porsche is not worth knowing Think you will find he owns a rather special little Porsche !

Yes Mike you did a 156 SW 2.4JTD you picked it up in Bracknell, that must have been 18 years ago now as I was contracting in Bracknell in those days. It was X48AUX last MOT was 2006 so presumably now gone to Alfa heaven :-( Shame as it was a great car. The 944 owner I was thinking about was Fen Coul who quite a while ago moved to NZ & shortly after had a bad MTB accident & is now in a wheel chair permanently.

Yes indeed a good car, remember it well!
