I run into a lot of the same problems at work, cars come off of the flatbed with the steering locked for whatever reason and cant be steered.

I went to harbor freight and bought a few wheel dollies. When the car is delivered, just jack the front wheels up and lower the car on the dollies. Just go easy over concrete gaps...

They arent the strongest in the world either, they are harbor freight products, after all. After ruining a few, I got some steel and reinfoced them.

As for the steering lock, Porsches and Mercedes are made to have their ignitions easily removed....as long as the key is in position 1. If that isnt possible, grab an air chisel and destroy the ignition lock.

...Or, just order a key blade from porsche, which doesnt have to be programmed, so you can steer the car around

Thanks guys,

..so if I can secure used examples of ignition switch and key, steering wheel module and immobiliser module, can they all be programmed by the dealer to start the car? Also, do they all have to come from the same car, or can I mix and match modules and have the dealer 'code' them please?

Thanks,

K9
