Hi Humphries -

This is normally considered as a DIY job. It's quite fiddly but satisfying when completed!

However, I am sure that there is a 'small business' opportunity vacant for someone as regards this repair, as it is not an uncommon problem but would not normally be entertained by your local garage.

The offending/failure cogs are available for both mph and kph speedos, mainly from the US, at a reasonable price for all Porsche types.
