No new parts there, so whatever was causing the leak is not exposed. Ergo - RUBBISH.

Neither do I.
But if a new pipe was above, how could I have damaged it going over a kerb/similar, and how would these infamous scrape marks have happened?!
EDIT - thanks @Dis86, I'm thinking the same.

I'd normally let that kind of thing go but what would stick in the craw is the fact that they've blamed you for some scrapes that simple aren't there and seemingly on a part of the coolant system that isn't there. That just says to me they're trying to treat you like an idiot which is completely inappropriate.
Yeh I agree, I certainly won’t be entertaining the idea of getting another car from them in future.
Just glad I didn’t have to pay for anything, otherwise that would’ve created a fuss!

Keep us posted. Sorry you've had such a crappy start with it!
It seems to be behaving, took it up to Leicester for a wedding on the weekend and it performed brilliantly on the back roads - I'm now looking for excuses to drop the roof and just go drive
I think a good 2 hour run to somewhere like Worcester would be a good idea
I do want to go, but we've got dinner plans and I'm not sure if I'd be back in time :/

Are they 6 cyl or boxer?
Caporegime
Both.
4.0 414bhp flat 6 apparently (for the GT4)

I find I frequently have to pop out to buy tooth-paste. Or just to have a look at that hill that's 50 miles North. You know, those urgent things.
This, will be an epic car, good luck getting one for 75k on flip side might push the last gen GT4 down in price a bit in a year or so once the inflated prices for these end and they hit used market in a year or two time.
Porsche dealers will be buying them up and sticking an extra £10-20k on the list price!

Going to cancel my orders for the new GT4. No extra torque, same gearing, slightly heavier, but 30 more hp. It’ll be an amazing car, but it’s a shame they just bored and stroked a regular engine.
Just not worth it if you own the current one. Price differential will help hold the 981 prices too, as it’s a fair jump for not a lot extra. If I didn’t already have one, I’d be all over it though.
