London987 Posted January 30, 2017 Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 My service book got destroyed in a kitchen flood....don't ask. It's since vanished. I'm not too bothered as I have a massive stack of paperwork in a file to support it all and new books on order. The one thing that grates is I have lost the sticker in the front cover. Is there any way to replace this - Porsche say no but I haven't pressed too hard as yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason986S Posted January 30, 2017 Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 My car hasn't got a stamped service book at all. But like you I've got a receipt for every service and purchase since day one, so hasn't bothered me really. Let me know how you get on though, as if it's something Porsche could replace at a reasonable price I would be interested. What other books have you bought?

London987 Posted January 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 I got the wallet, service book, pcm book and handbook. it's expensive. it's about £200 all in, the only good news is they say they will sort out the OPC stamps for me when they get in. I've been on back order for nearly a year too. I recently had to replace my BMW handbook as well, got the wrong one from when I bought it, that was £50....selling the other one on eBay at some point.

edc Posted January 30, 2017 Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 If it's the options codes you want then it can be generated from the VIN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Hamilton Posted January 30, 2017 Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 Not cheap, but here is another option. Reproductions, but they look good to me:http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Porsche-911-997-VIN-Data-Maintenance-Service-Book-Label-Sticker-/262792383980 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had one in our second - but it was a 54 plate 987, so an early one. That car had an options list like a bingo card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batesy66 Posted January 30, 2017 Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 I take it the first 987s came into being in March 05? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

motosparkz Posted January 30, 2017 Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 Blimey, that is expensive, I'm sure my Doris can knock them up. I'll get her to duplicate mine & see how it comes out. Watch this space :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Porsche years run from after the summer shutdown, so a 2005 model year can be from September 2004. Like a lot of things, you can blame the Americans for creeping model years. It used to be that cars were built in the last month or so for January delivery, but then manufacturers found they could pique interest by delivering the following years cars a little early (when sales were very low). They've gradually crept back, and now the US produced cars are about 6 months ahead of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuart21UK Posted January 31, 2017 Report Share Posted January 31, 2017 can't you get a free certificate with options from Porsche/PCGB if you are a PCGB member? at a cost of £70 (for membership) or thereabouts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
