Thought I would update you all.

I managed to get the wheels off by placing some wood behind the wheel and hitting it with a lump hammer. Hard work but effective.

The coolant problem was jubilee clips which had rusted and weren't holding the pipes in place properly. Got that sorted too.

The oil countdown was not a problem. Thank the lord.

The leak at the front is not the washer pipe but is in fact the front radiator leaking. Porsche quoted me £1500 / $3000 to fix this. My jaw nearly hit the floor! I've looked around and can get hold of one for £100 / $200. How easy are they to replace?

Unfortunately because the soft top hasn't been used for about a year it seized up when they tried to close it. Luckily I have a hard top. Don't know what the problem is yet, waiting for the car to be returned. Has anyone had this problem before?
