Servicing my Porsche Cayman S?

My 2010 Porsche Cayman S has covered 17600 miles since new and is due it's second service next month, however due to commitments it has only covered 1100 miles since the last service in June 2012, would you recommend a full or partial service?

A full service, of course. Every car needs an oil and filter change at least every year or every 10,000 miles whichever comes first because the oil can become contaminated. Don't mess about with a Porsche. A new engine is the wrong side of £12,000. Have the brake fluid tested too. That may also need replacing.
