So I just got my service done at Porsche and have a few Red marks, I've decided to buy the parts myself and get a local independent to do the additional maintenance works to save a few £££s, but as a technical moron wondered if any of you techhy types might have opinions on any of my suggestions to keep it ticking over nicely.
Apologies for my ramblings, but I do very much trust and appreciate those with greater knowledge and experience guiding me through my spending
Tyres - 4 new tyres needed 2x 265 35 R19s, 2x 235 35 R19s obviously want to stick to N rated struggling to find a better deal than Kwik Fit for a 4x Pirellis at around £880. I am waiting for quote from Chris @ Excel who inconveniently has had a baby
Spark Plugs - Over £320 @ Porsche, should I buy Bosch from Eurocar Parts or a more specialst brand? Should I change any other spark plug related parts at the same time?
Ignition Lock - Porsche state this is sticking and needs replacing and want to charge me £240 to replace it, I am not sure what part this relates to if anyone has any ideas???
Battery - My battery seems to be on it's way out, which I read isn't uncommon for a 4 year old Porsche, I've been drawn to these AGM type batteries and can get them for approx £140, which I am aware is more than a normal but wondered if it's worth paying the extra if anyone has any experience.
Also after I have all of this done I feel tempted to send it into a detailers to make it look especially pretty, anyone have any reasonable contacts in the Midlands???
