update;
so porsche mechanic came over.
Confirmed P0304 only fault code (good news).
He's looked at AOS - and yes, that has failed.
He can manually turn the engine (good news).

He needs to get it to the work shop to see if there is any unseen problems,
but so far his feeling is it is fixable, and almost certainly not a write off!

But I won't get too excited yet. It will get towed in this week and we will see what happens next

He reckons it's probably the original AOS - and he's surprised it's lasted so long (115K miles). naturally I'd have had this changed if I was aware of the problem before!

Seems like we should get a sticker made to stick on the side of the car for noobs, listing the many many things a porsche can potentially do to destroy itself
