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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Can anyone recommend a mobile outfit to carryout a pre- purchase inspection on a 996. Car is in the Northampton area. Thanks Dave

Have a scroll through this sub-forum whilst you're waiting for new replies. Here --> http://911uk.com/viewforum.php?f=3

POST 3Original post

ive had a couple done by https://porscheinspections.com/ one done by Bob on a 996.2 cabriolet and one by Anthony on a 996.1 coupe. Very in depth report.. Nice guys to deal with too regards Johnny

POST 4Original post

PorscheInspections.com are meant to be really good, but worth knowing that they no longer seem to do borescope checks. There is a section on their site explaining half-decent reasons why. It seems to be good enough for most people. There is also mobileporschespecialist.com who seem to be less popular but are nationwide.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks lads. I might try to persuade the seller to take to an indie. Any recommendations of anyone local to Northampton.?

POST 6Original post

It is always best to go to a local indie and get it on the ramp if you can persuade the seller. You'll get a much better summary that way. Dove House might be able to help? http://dovehousemotorcompany.co.uk/

POST 7Original post

I highly recommended Nick Giles. He travels all over the UK and is very knowledgeable and reasonably priced. He's inspected Porsche 986 and 996 cars I've sold and bought so I've seen his work from both perspectives. https://nickgiles-car-inspection.co.uk/

Thanks for all the replies. I have gone with Porsche inspections as we have access to a ramp.
