One of our longer projects is finished and ready to head home.

This car came to us fresh from the paint shop as a rolling shell and a lot of boxes.

Along with sleeving and rebuilding the engine, we refurbished the brakes, suspension and a lot of the interior.

Like every restoration there we also found a few other surprises along the way.

It has turned out really well, and I feel privileged to have been trusted to be part of this restoration.

Good to see another 944 back on the road.

The Porsche Panamera is a masterclass in performance and luxury — but that complexity means it needs proactive care, especially when it comes to suspension, brakes and electronics.

Swipe through for the wear points every Panamera owner should know, from air suspension leaks to battery-related electrical faults.

Caught early, most of these issues are manageable. Left unchecked, they can turn into serious (and expensive) repairs.

Dealer or Independent Specialist — what's the real difference for your Porsche Cayenne? 🔧

When it comes to servicing your Cayenne, the price difference between a dealership and an independent Porsche specialist can be significant — but cost isn't the only factor worth considering.
In this post we break down the key differences across service cost, technician expertise, facilities, and warranty — so you can make the right call for your vehicle.

An independent Porsche specialist is often the smarter choice.

A public service announcement...

At Hartech, we are seeing these age related problems more often.

This 928 has had a good service history all of its life. The coolant has been replaced regularly.

It has travelled just over 100,000 km.

These engines are so well designed they just don't wear out. The cylinder heads have never been off.

These headgaskets are over 30 years old, and they rot.

There was nothing left to support the fire rings around each cylinder.

You can see the distortion of the fire ring in the last picture.

The most common failure mode of these headgaskets is, once the fire ring has moved out of place far enough, coolant can fill the cylinder once the engine has stopped.

The next time the engine is turned over, the cylinder now full of coolant, will hydraulic lock. The resultant pressure of another cylinder firing will cause the locked cylinder to split. As these engines are an open deck design, they physically split the cylinder wall open, destroying the engine.

If you don't have history, or invoicing in the last 15 years proving that your 928s headgaskets have been replaced. This failure could happen to you...

🚗 Is your Macan shuddering at low speeds?

A common cause is the AWD transfer case, which can create a jerking or vibration when accelerating slowly or turning tightly.

Signs to watch for:
• Shuddering around 10–25 km/h
• A bump or vibration when moving off
• Clicking or clunking during tight turns

Sometimes a fluid service or software update can fix it — other times the transfer case may need replacement. If your Macan doesn’t feel as smooth as it should, feel free to reach out or book an inspection with our team.

This is why a check the sunroof drains on all our services.
This early Cayenne is a new customer, and has only recently acquired the car. We noticed the damp as soon as we got in the car. When questioned the customer also mentioned he could hear running water every time he stopped at the lights.
With the interior and carpets out, now we can start to dry it out properly.
