Thanks . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menoporsche Posted September 14, 2023 Report Share Posted September 14, 2023 I don't think it's against any rules. The usual caution is that if you are too open about it, someone else can find it and buy it first! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do that all the time mate, almost on a daily basis, so it's no big deal around here 😂 Good luck with your search 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattman42 Posted September 14, 2023 Report Share Posted September 14, 2023 No issues - if the number plate is displayed on a website for sale then its in the open domain anyway - fire away. Big bad @Araf will come along and delete it if he doesn't like it - but he usually has a mid-morning nap between 11am and 2pm, so you are free for now 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
½cwt Posted September 14, 2023 Report Share Posted September 14, 2023 Using my reg number in a search on this forum is how I found the previous owner of mine to discover more history, like why the factory had it listed with a black hood but it had a blue hood when I bought the car. No rules against it, just some prefer not to share their reg for security of cloning risks I imagine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

½cwt Posted September 14, 2023 Report Share Posted September 14, 2023 Well, for an 11 plate car its had a lot of MOTs, has it had a lot of owners i.e. sold with new MOT each time? The gap between Nov 2018 and Jan 2022 it did 37,000 miles so I assume it was on a different plate not parked up. Make sure there is no oil leak from the side of the PDK gearbox as replacement is the only authorised fix unless you find the right ZF service agent. Otherwise is is 12 years old, so eyes open. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve got my indie, on stand-by to do a PDK service with new pan etc. you mentioned check for leaks from box, would vehicle need to be on a ramp to do this ? Forgive my lack of knowledge, my first Porsche. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forgive my lack of knowledge, my first Porsche. I believe it is the left side of the box the expensive leak comes from, but these are low cars (sorry, stating the obvious) so you'd need to be able to see underneath some how to see.
