Rusty Discs
There's an article in this weeks Auto Express watchdog section about someone who had to have his discs replaced on his 18 month old Boxster S due to corrosion - Porsche Warranty wouldn't cover it but the OPC met some of the labour costs.
I had a similar issue with mine at 2 years/18k miles - after much arguing and support from the dealer Porsche supplied discs free of charge and my OPC met half the labour costs. (And yes, I was sad enoguh to drive the car each time I'd washed it to dry the discs as per the manual)
I was wondering has anyone else encountered this problem? be interesting to get some numbers. The mag said that there may be a case for a recall, I wonder if I would then have recourse to claim back my money?
BTW I understand the composition of the discs on the 987 has been changed, and I'm still etting another one despite having had this problem in the past....

I am not Michael Schumaker so I'll stick with the standard brakes, rust and all.
