This is not a probability of success.

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.

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

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

Hi all, my Boxster bought from a non Porsche dealer has developed a fault on the key actuation. . Sometimes it locks sometimes it doesn't. Yes, I've changed the battery in the key. Swansway, the dealer, have ascertained its beyond their capability to investigate (its under their warranty). The only local guy I have heard of is Tony. Is he still in business, if so anyone for a phone number and an address? Swansway will pay under the terms of the warranty, but its needs the specialist diagnostics they don't have. Thanks Alan

POST 2Original post

I'm sure you'll find him via Google. He usually deals with older cars as far as I know though, so in case he can't do it try Sports and Classic in Knutsford, who have the kit & can definitely do all key coding etc

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Yes, I understand he still is, but I have no contact details.

POST 5Original post

Im not sure how I remember, but I think that I sold him an as-new SC steering wheel in 2001.

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Sorry, why is that relevant? I'm asking for his contact details!

POST 9Original post

He is at 131 Woodford Road, Stockport, SK7 1QD. Phone number is 0161 439 0550. I've just bought a 987 which has service history from Tony. Haven't used him myself but the previous owner spoke very highly of him.
