Hi all, recently purchased my mint Boxster S, the engine management light appeared during warming her up last night, I’m aware it’s most probably nothing but I’m looking for a garage that might plug it in and diagnose the problem without charging the earth.
Or if it’s going to be worth purchasing an OBD reader, if so what one ?
I can’t remember who but someone told me about a Boxster / Cayman guy in Esher that works on them as a hobbie, maybe he can help. But can’t remember his name
I’m in Epsom by the way, don’t mind traveling if it’s good service, I've heard nine excellence are very good ?
Kind regards. Ian
986.2 Boxster S owner, EML came on / surrey garages please ?

Before the Cayenne went I had an iCarsoft960 which worked pretty well.
