I thought it was just some paint ... but looking closer I think your right.

So is it likely the broken engine mount caused some vibration or twisting of the frame which lead to to the rear glass bond to loosen, it’s a scary thought but probably with the chassis being so stiff that was unlikely, more likely it was just two unrelated issues, hopefully no more problems but I think I would be reluctant to track it having had one broken engine mount and others from the same time of manufacturing still on there!

How did you end up with the Porsche warranty after buying through redline? It seems really tricky getting a Porsche warranty whilst buying from third party dealer. I believe dealers can't sell cars with a Porsche warranty. I was told in order to do this you could do a pre-purchase inspection by a local Porsche dealership - then you'd have to own the car for 3 months before you could get another 111 point inspection and purchase the warranty on the same day.

So how much did u get for plugging reading dealership... FFS mate... Drive round a track or if not just change ur name to AH... Also it's warranty so u paid sweet FA...

Love the fact that you explained your negative experience with Porsche west london.. often with these things customer service amongst other things is always presented falsely either due to youtubers being endorsed and thus advertising falsely or dealers/service workshops going all out for youtubers who then document and provide positive review that never live up to the reality for everyday customers.

He likes to waffle on. 15 whole minutes for something that could of taken 2 minutes.

I arranged to go and test drive a Macan gts , drove 30 mins to get there with an appointment waited 20 mins then basically got told to leave because there wasn't enough staff to sort out the insurance at Wolverhampton Porsche centre ... couldn't believe how rude they was. The receptionist basically told me too leave. And the sales woman blanked me even after speaking to her 2 days earlier and arranging a test drive with her. Shocking customer service.

Top waffler.

How did your warranty not void with the modified exhaust

P.S. when you actually start to track plugs and coils will be a regular as windshields. As for tires remember you can fit cup r tires (the REALLY fast ones) to the 991.1 gt3 rs from the 991.2 gt3 rs.

Archie I had a similar problem. ‘PADM service required’ appeared on my 991 turbo S GB Edition which I purchased through Porsche Center Tonbridge shortly after I purchased it . When calling the dealership the receptionist was very unhelpful and eventually put me through to the service manager whom was equally unhelpful . I ended up sorting the issue out with my local Porsche Center in Tewksbury whom were fantastic. They carried out the full 111 point Porsche check and found that the engine mount was not aligning correctly and this is why the exhaust pipes were wonky ! and consequently why the PADM light appeared on the dash ! In addition to this the two front tyres were badly perished and the titanium bolts holding the exhaust together were corroded and needed replacing oh and so did a brake calliper among other things ! Porsche Center Tonbridge initially tried to riggle out of putting everything right until I kicked up a fuss after the Tewksbury dealership said it was unsafe to drive ! The final bill ( covered under the warranty ) was circa £4000 at cost and would of been considerably more if I were paying myself... Conclusion is Porsche Center Tonbridge sold a car which was not fully prepared and were only interested in the sale with the after sale service on a £120 k car being shocking . Oh forgot to mention the chopped windscreen! Tewksbury brilliant though ! Nice wheels Arch 😉

The wheels on the GT3 are stunning. They show off the ceramic brakes so well

Why didn't you do a bit of shopping around for your tyres online?? Are they Michelin Pilot Sports? When I was working at Nova Victoria, there was a red Katari owned Porsche GT3 in the parking lot. Out of curiousity I made a note of its tyre spec. and did a search online for the price. I recall finding a price including vat and post of some £300.00 from a reputable tyre supplier. I was astonished at the price. You've taken it to another entirely new level..

When an active engine mount fails, it does not cause the engine to rattle around. It will act as a non-active (solid) engine mount. It is perfectly alright to drive the car with a failed active engine mount. I did it for six months before getting one of mine replaced under warranty.

Not finished the video yet, but all that money on a supercar and you have assey staff at the London Dealership, that really sucks :(

Ohh fully detailed so it's been paint corrected and ceramic coated then? Lol, didn't think so. Love the RS Archie.

Archie you came to the closest Porsche Centre to me my no.1 racing driver. Reading is the headquarters of Porsche in the UK. I would love to meet you in person one day and your amazing cars

That's not accurate about changing the tyres. As long as there is no more than 3mm difference in the tread of the old tyre and new you can replace one tyre. That is Porsche guidelines as well.
