I was going to look closer this weekend and when I drove this morning I lost drive altogether.I looked underneath and the n/s driveshaft had become adrift so I have bolted it back up this evening and the noise has gone and the drive is back.
Has anyone else had problems with driveshaft bolts coming loose? I will buy new bolts as replacement. Iam pleased that it was nothing major :)

It's not unknown they are single use only (according to Porsche) so they may have been reused in the past.
