Ok, got the car back. Total bill from my Indy a whisker over £800:
Parts: (before VAT)
Porsche water pump £203
Gasket £5
Coolant (full flush) £24
New turbo stud £3.29
2x side light bulbs £10
MOT £55
Labour (6 hours) of which: Remove rear PU, Exhaust, Engine carrier, Engine mount. Lowered engine. Renew water pump, gasket and replace snapped turbo stud. Flush coolant and refill. VAC coolant system. Rebuild as above. Road test. Re-check coolant level. Top up as required. (Some of the exhaust studs have been replaced where they decided not to co-operate when being removed)
The turbo stud was already snapped I think - I'm not certain one needs to be removed to sort the pump out - they just spotted the extra issue and sorted it.
The pump (on the Turbo) sounds like a bit of a pig to sort out, and I suspect at least 30 mins of labour were spent sorting out the snapped turbo bolt lol
Big(ish) bill, but it's warrantied for 12 months and ought to last another 16 years (pump that came off was the original unit, so it has survived a fair while)
MOT also revealed a bit of un-even wear on the front tyres, so I need to get an alignment sorted out in a month or too before I do much more driving in it. (Last aligned in June 2017 - done 6000 miles in her since then, mostly in Europe. Must have been all those mountain-pass hair pin turns) :thumb:
(Or more likely the ***** potholed roads back here in Blighty) :roll:
. Anyone else find that it's not the parts that are expensive but the amount of labour required for certain things?
