Well I missed my first DE and last one of the year the first weekend of October.
By the guidelines I went to replace the wheel locks with regular lugs. The local Porsche dealer gave me the wrong lugs, my fault but I never compared them. I was ready to leave for the Tech inspection, put the new lugs in and they were too long.
They went in flush, torqed to spec but I didn't realize they stuck out the back of them rim! The result was they tore out the emergency brake. At the time I did not know what was wrong so I pulled over, called a friend with a flatbed and took it to the indy shop I use.
Two and a half weeks later. I still don't have the Boxster back. No parts anywhere, the had to be ordered from Germany. They sent regular Boxster parts, had to re-order.
I am now having "spirited" conversations with the mananger about picking up the repair cost for selling me the wrong lugs. I ate the DE cost (wouldn't give me a refund), they should pick up the repair cost. We're both at fault, we both incur the cost.
