This is handy. Could you clarify where/how we can get access to these TSBs?

Sorry to be cynical, but considering this was the first post from a new member back in July 2007 (who has never posted again since), I have a funny feeling that the original post may have been moderated to remove an advertisement for OPC / Porsche specialist servicing :grin:
 
Are these available to the general public? Can they now be downloaded from the internet?
