Not personally, but I have dealt with him before and I can say he is a great guy! I wanted a set of Euro wiring diagrams for my 80 Euro S and he was able to help me out.

Mr Speake has a MAF exchange program running with 928 Specialists as well as his other electronic wizardry.

I can highly recommend John for his work with the 928 electronic equipment.

When I had an LH-ECU failure last year he arranged for a loan unit overnight and I sent my unit off to the UK for repair. He repaired my LH ECU in short order, returned it with a 2 year guarantee and it is working fine, engine running very smooth. He also has a lot of great electronic information in his memory bank and has no problem assisting 928 owners all over the world.

Peter has given you his e-mail contact above and there was also an excellent article on him and his work in an edition of "911 & Porsche World" the UK published independent Porsche magazine.

I can very highly recommend him.

The Stig would know this but he spends all his time in "OT" looking at the picture threads.

never heard of him either but I run his MAF and LH ecu exchange program in Switzerland. As all Swiss I do not do this in my garden shed but instead in my nuclear shelter under my cellar
