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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi all, my annoying suspension sound is still about, despite trying my best to actually break it so we can find it! Any opinions on the best indie specialist near Leicester/Nottingham that charges a sensible hourly rate so we can take apart the suspension and have a proper look? Thanks

POST 2Original post

I'm miles away in Evesham, but I can provide advice at a distance. Our favourite test is to wander over cats eyes at 20mph - does this produce the noise? (testing the OS is easy, but testing the NS requires a straight road)

POST 3Original post

Zentrum Porsche Specialists near Nottingham, been around a long time, kno idea on his rates

POST 5Original post

Mike at Zentrum is very good and his rates are reasonable. Zentrum is based in Calverton, North Notts

POST 6Original post

Can recommend PCT in Coventry. http://www.pctcars.co.uk/ They sorted my annoying suspension noise out, turned out to be a knackered strut top mount.

POST 7Original post

I would definitely recommend GCR Central, Porsche specialist at Wigston Leicester. They are Porsche enthusiast and are extremly knowledgeable. I have had work done by them, all at reasonable prices. I personally wouldn't use anyone else. Kind regards Andy

POST 8 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks all, I am taking it to Gravity in Atherstone, they sound good and will do a full health check and full chassis alignment as well. Any experiences of Gravity from Members?

POST 13Original post

Chris Franklin replaced the suspension on my 964 together with the front arm bushes. He his a top bloke, honest and reliable and what he doesn't know about suspension replacement/setup is not worth knowing. He is one of the few people I would entrust to work on my car. If your car has a suspension issue Chris and his son-in-law will sort it, no problem.
