In need of a garage in France

Post by 1BHP »

Long shot, but if anyone knows of a suitable Porsche garage in Central France I'd love to hear... I'm currently staying just outside Angouleme with what appears to be a failed internal seal on the brake master cylinder. I can technically stop but, on anything less than heavy braking, the pedal slowly makes it way to the floor. Mildly disconcerting.

If not I'll just have to stick around here and limp back at the end of the week.

If you don't find a suitable Porsche garage I'd take the car to any reputable garage. I personally wouldn't risk driving the car knowing I could potentially have brake failure!
Changing seals on a master cylinder isn't a difficult job for any mechanic and you could overnight the required parts to anywhere.

Or if you want to make it really easy for your local expert in tractors and 2cvs, mister auto (based in France I think) tend to keep all the ATE master cylinders in stock. Decent prices too.
Good luck, drive carefully!
