I thought the OEM only stuff was cheaper there? No but for reference it could be worth getting a quote to help other Peeps who want to do their own service Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATM Posted January 14 Report Share Posted January 14 I popped into Wilmslow OPC last week for some bits for my 996. The guy did confirm 15% off due to classic status. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting to know! The 15% is only supposed to apply to parts fitted by OPC. I'll have to try asking Bournemouth next time I need something from them. I has assumed I'd only get the usual 10% PCGB discount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Local opc we’re giving 15% over the counter for classic register status but have been told to stop doing it by the mothership apparently. (According to the parts manager). i will continue to ask but I suspect I won’t always win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea it was Porsche spec fluids and I ended up with the aluminium motor sport sump/filter , instead of the plastic one. As mentioned previously in older threads , I was charged initially 270 for what I thought I ordered, which was wrong , sump pan on its own is 340 …..win win Had everything that I needed for 270 and they organised a courier to take back what was wrong , can’t fault that for service Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want just want both fluids changed , price is not so bad , but to do the job properly the gearbox sump needs to be replaced as it has a built in filter, so realistically all the materials are circa £ 480 - £500 and I would want £ 150 for doing it,just giving you the heads up , all fluids all in and my time you would be looking at £250 ish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only need to get back end off the floor support on axle stands and a jacks either side on the front to level up, I’m busy anyway with cars the next three weekends , so best thing for you is to get the materials and then I can give you a date, I can stamp your book but meaningless as I’m not a buisness, just a qualified engineer that’s been working on all types of cars for circa 50 years!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, it was £402 inc for oils and new bungs. That’s pretty good value for that work. £190 for labour and £140 fluids and bungs. 👍👍👏 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
