Hi,

I've had a 61 plate on a test drive this morning - loved it!

The car has 82,700 miles on which is a little lower than average.

REG: FP61 WJC - anyone know any history of it?

Couple things wrong with it, which the garage are fixing: driver card erorr, spoiler is stuck in open/up. aircon doesn't heat up drivers side, the brakes are in service mode as they are working on them as part of there service overhaul and pre-MOT check: I assume this is why stop/start wasn't working??

THey have said that the car will come with a full MOT with no advisories - any advisories will be sorted out and the MOT will be clear.

They say the driver card not found error allows for keyless entry. When they got the car it didn't come with the card. THey have asked Porsche if they can obtain a replacement/remove the error.
Does the driver card do anything else?

What other things should I be on the lookout for?

Other than that - lovely car; itching to buy but wanted to ask here first.

Thanks in advance.

start stop has got nothing to do with brakes in service mode
1 you should not have been on a test drive with brakes in service mode it is for changing brake shoes for rear hand brake
driver card has nothing to do with keyless entry
the ADR card is to do with PVTS which is the tracking system

Thanks for reply.

start stop has got nothing to do with brakes in service mode

• I guess that's a drive it around a bit and see if it starts working; if not its something to take it back with I guess?

1 you should not have been on a test drive with brakes in service mode it is for changing brake shoes for rear hand brake

• Noted - I'll know for 'next' time: nothing I can do about that now. my bad

driver card has nothing to do with keyless entry

• How do I know if the car has keyless entry (without stating the obvious )
• Is it something that can be switched on/off?
• Is there something in the menus on screens i could look for?

the ADR card is to do with PVTS which is the tracking system

• ahhh OK - more googling lead me to a thread on 911uk.com. Looks like to need to speak to 'Cobra Vehicle Security' however their website looks a bit 'sus'.
• Any ideas where I can get more information?

Cheers
