Screwed up. Mine should have no RMS and I accidentally checked RMS at 5,000 miles. For some reasons, I misread that to mean no issues rms at 5,000.

i have asked rc to post a similiar poll on rennteam. if you have alredy vote here please don't enter the same data on rennteam. this way we will get more meaningful statistics. i'll post a summary of both sites here and on rennteam when the data has all been collected.
i applaud scousers new rms club! i hope our poll are of some additional help. with respect though i hope i never become a full fledged member!

I have just recieved a response from Porsche Iberica on my out of warranty RMS leak issue, they will refund me €17!! yes about 20 bucks! I expected nothing since they are not forced to do it legally (though morally) since warranty has expired so even though its their fault from a design error thats still not fixed... but refunding €17? I'm really insulted.
Needless to say those €17 will be going back to Porsche Iberica with a nice letter of appreciation on may part.

Carlos,
I am no legal expert but if they have given you even a "cent" for a refund, isn't that an admittance to fault by them. That is, they have acknowledged that they have a design flaw and their way of saying sorry is by compensating you a measly EUR17. I just wonder if there is room for a libel here.
Hope so
Keep yer chin up mate,
