997 Recall in the UK
One of the guys on the UK Boxa.net forum has just had a recall letter through the post:
"Through regular quality inspections at Porsche AG, it has been identified that there is a possibility that the engine in your vehicle has been installed with the incorrectly machined crankcase. Due to a machining error, the intermediate shaft may not sit in the designed position in the crankcase.
To determine whether this fault exists in your vehicle, the engine must be checked and depending on the result, it may be necessary to install an additional spacer to the intermediate shaft bearing cover."
Apparently the OPC reckons that it'll take 30 mins to do the check and 10 hours to do the repair if necessary. I'd have thought it takes longer than 30 mins to do the inspection.
Anyway, thought this may be of interest to this board.

not the 911.
OK, I was wrong. I clarified with the other owner that was on the tour with me and he said it was the transmission for the 997 that had Mercedes stamped on it(this was a vendor they used) 
Now I recall....
Just called into my dealership to get them to top my oil level as i was passing
