Picked up a puncture at the weekend, no big deal but when I got it to the shop for investigation it turned out the locking wheel nut key was threaded. Some moron had obviously used it with a pneumatic gun :x
So that was that, had to get the tyre pumped up & back to my mates, only a few mins up the road from the shop but 40 miles from where I live.
Annoying but no great shakes, just need to get a replacement wheel nut key, head back later this week & so on.
Ringing Porsche today, I had to call 4 different centres to find one that had the right key in stock. The fact Porsche don't just take on that responsibility itself is crap, but worse I didn't have to provide any proof that I owned the car before they took payment & shipped one out to arrive tomorrow. Nothing at all.
So basically if I was nefariously inclined I could call a number of centres, get all the variation of keys required & I'd be able to just help myself to wheels etc :x
