To add some extra historical info:
Once the engine work was done, the car went over to the "Porsche Specialist" to have the air suspension fitted along with new rear wheel bearings as they were found to be totally shot (I bought the car with IMS failure so had never had the chance to drive it.)
Once they had fitted the air suspension and bearings, the car was driven to the bodyshop to have the stone chips sprayed out but they turned the car around and took it back because the handbrake system had "collapsed" so it needed repair.
They repaired the "collapsed" handbrake at some cost to me and finally returned the car to the body shop where I picked it up from last weekend.
Now it sems to me that a "Collapsed" handbrake system is a very rare thing to happen and that the chances of it being a total coincidence that it happened after the "Porsche specialist" did their bearing and suspension work, are zero.... Especially when you see the photo of how the handbrake cables run from the rear wheels towards the handbrake itself and if I had to fix such a strange failure then I would at least take a few minutes to try and work out how/why it happened in the first place. My daughter (7) could have spotted that the way the cable runs UNDER the suspension arms at both sides, looks totally wrong so my question is... How much negligance does a "Porsche specialist" have to show, not to be able to spot such a glaring error?
Sorry for the rant but I have to let off steam somewhere.
