Did you go for a new battery when the work was done?

Great news, lucky chap! Now get off here and put the 2000 miles on!

No, I'm ignorant enough for it to not even occur to me! (new battery, firing up again - phew!)

Are you in complete gloom & doom mode John? It has been stood for 2-4 months whilst being sorted & the battery has died, or possibly just needs a decent charge, would you sell your car if the battery died?

OMG, OMG - she's back weyhey!!!!!! What a relief - unbelieveable. She feels reeeeeeal sweet again. 1.5 - 2K miles running in now which means I'm gonna have to do a lot o' driving before the Palaces trip in Sept. - poor, poor me!! What have we learned? Well, had we bought from an OPC we would probably have got Porsche to help out. Instead, Hartech have rebuilt the engine and JMG have pieced it all back together beautifully. It was Jan. when the ticking engine and massive oil consumption started (which we were told was 'within tolerance') to become a concern - then trips to Porsche Bournemouth & Reading, countless visits & discussions with our dealer, much thrashing about and one visit to a solicitor. Poor old Jon M. had to cope with my endless ignorant questions whilst his knee's buggered and whilst moving premises - I can't thank him enough!!

[Off out driving!]

Glad it is back Wazzer, a rund to the Club weekend on the 7th & 8th Sept would put a few miles on it as well! HINT!
