Re: 19-inch collapsible spare wheel

Here you go.

As mentioned you do need to remove the Bose subwoofer. There’s a slight bulge under the floor (hopefully shown in the photo) but in practice this isn’t an issue - especially if like me you have a boot liner.

Hope that helps.

Re: 19-inch collapsible spare wheel

This is what I've got - just about fits in the well - had to use a while back and it did the job very well indeed

Re: Panamera

I too had the pleasure of a Panamera on loan while my Macan was serviced this week. It was a 4S demonstrator on sale for £129K so tried to treat it respectfully ;) and was also impressed with the steering feel and handling - felt like a much smaller nimbler sports car - and boy did it shift.

Re: Disillusioned by ownership

+1 think positively !! Turning right out of my driveway involves somewhat of a leap of faith as there's a corner 70 metres away and cars come round there at a rate of knots sometimes (30mph limit supposedly). I went through a phase of pulling out just before a screamer came round the bend every sing...

Re: Blue Screen of Death

Press and hold the on/off/volume button on the PCM for about 20 seconds.
I have to do this every few months when it gets itself in a bit of a pickle :roll:

Re: What next....?

+1 Panamera
I had an Audi A7 (same chassis I believe) that was great - apart from it's length - it's really quite a long car - got fed up of catching the back wheels on those raised edges in multi-story car park approaches - driver error no doubt :roll:

Ah must have missed the 'NO' on the tyre wall :roll:

Hankook

Yesterday I had a Gen3 on a 22 plate park next to me and I noticed it was shod with Hankooks. So this would imply dealers are supplying new cars with non 'N' rated tyres..... Having recently forked out £280 per corner for Michelins in order to supposedly maintain my Porsche used warranty I wonder if...
