Really pi##ed off by the fact that a piece of the trim came flying off and dissapeared off into the ether while I was accelerating away on a dual carriageway barely five minutes after I had set off!

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

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

  • Porsche Club GB: 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

Had my "new" 996 turbo MY 2003 delivered late last night (first porsche ever)- went out in it for the first time this morning - crack of dawn - before the wife and kids were awake - oh my god!!!!!!!! had an E46 M3 up till now - though that was fast but I am truly amazed by the performance of this car........................BUT Really pi##ed off by the fact that a piece of the trim came flying off and dissapeared off into the ether while I was accelerating away on a dual carriageway barely five minutes after I had set off! it was the little silver disc that covers the jet on the headlamp washers. Went back to look for it but short of commiting suicide running across to the central reservation - couldnt see it. So rang OPC in Wilmslow - they wanted to charge me £60 to supply and fit and couldnt do it till next Tuesday It looks so awful without it ended up driving up there and buying one for twenty odd quid and fitting it myself on the front of their showroom forecourt - got to be quick to catch that b#####rd jet when it comes out Does trim fly off all the time or am I just unlucky?
