Having put down a deposit on a '96 993 C2, I need to get it PPI-ed before handing over the readies. The owner lives in Leicestershire.

Peter Morgan is busy with work down south so can't deal with it. Can anyone recommend someone else (ideally someone who travels to the car, rather than vice versa) who covers the East Midlands to carry out an inspection?

The car has been serviced recently at PCT, who share a site with Autobahn in Coventry. Does anyone know whether they do PPIs?

Cheers Andy! I had looked on their website but it didn't mention it.

Don't suppose you have any idea what they charge....? Probably have to give them a call tomorrow.

Mark Wibberley, the MD, sometimes posts on the S2000 forum so I know the name. I think he also puts together and sells buying guides for various sportscar marques.

I know and have used PCT regularly. I don't know if they will travel out to do the inspection but they do know their way around a 993. Perhaps you could get the owner to drive it in to PCT? They charge a heady £68 per hour + vat.

Give Chris a call at GCR in Leicester (0116 278 0900). Knows air cooled 911s inside out. Looks after many 993, 964 etc including two of my cars.

The inspection would have to be done at his workshop though (in Leicester).

Cheers PP.

I was assuming it would have to go to them anyway if using PCT.

Funnily enough I bumped into Peter Morgan last week on site at PCT!

I guess he's too busy with his film career to manage as many PPIs as before.

Having spoken to him today he said he'd been working all yesterday and overnight and was still at his workshop....think you might find he is a bit busy but if he's not he may be the closest.

Where in Leicestershire...it's a huge county

Yes he's very busy at the moment ... up to Oulton Park yesterday so must have been in today catching up - don't know how he does it.

Went with carinspections.co.uk in the end and they appear to have sub-contracted it out to GCR to be done tomorrow morning - so indirectly, a result thumbup

Fingers crossed it doesn't come back with any nasty surprises.
