I’m looking for helping choosing between these tyres for my 2002 Spyder. Ordinarily the 4S would be a straightforward choice for me. I’m replacing all 4 tyres. However, the PS4S is not made in the 265/35r18 size that I need on the rear axle of my Spyder. My choice therefore is between PS4S @...

Apparently his next car from the Hairpin Co. is a Merak. Video up from 5pm on Sunday. Definitely a fantasy car for me as a kid, wonder what he will make of it.

The cover for my Spyder roof has started sticking shut, but only when the car has been out in the hot sun for a few days. Everything works fine up until the point that the lid is supposed to open. I can reverse the opening process easily enough. Once the car is cool, say in the evening, it works...

I think I have a sticky flaps problem on my Spyder heater. Everything works except if I move the central knob to any position except the one for demist and footwell, I get the E on the temp indicator. Diagnostic shows AA65. If I move it back to that one position (the usual one I have it on) the...

We all see EV is coming, in fact already here. I hadn’t heard about Hydrogen ICEs as a serious option until I watched the latest Harry’s Garage on Youtube. He visits JCB to learn about their in-house Hydrogen ICE, basically their existing diesel block with a new head and fuel system (OK...

Hi, I just discovered that the driver’s seat back switch in my Spyder seems to have disconnected from the microswitch (arrowed) that moves it back and forward. Naturally I hardly ever use it so don’t know when it broke; I suspect the last service but who knows. I think the broken part must...

I’m unable to start my 4200 Spyder, having just swapped over a flat battery for a fully charged one (using my CTEK). I keep a spare battery charged as I don’t use the car often at the moment so it saves time if I have a flat one. Anyway, I couldn’t start the car after the last swap. The dash...

I wanted to post this picture of my Med Blue Spyder stopped for petrol yesterday evening, for not better reason than I liked it. I couldn’t find another place to post it, so here it is: A great drive through the leafy lanes of Hertfordshire a couple of hours after sunset. I’d love to see...

Hi, it's been a long time since I posted but I've enjoyed lurking from time to time. I just had a painful conversation with the main dealer who I asked to fix my Spyder roof during a service. They have quoted £4.5k and said that the cost is almost all the pump itself which has apparently...

About 2 months and 1000 miles in and I'm loving my 4200 Spyder as you all said I would. I'm not loving plugging an adaptor into the 'cigar' lighter for my iPhone etc. though, so I bought one of these to fit under the dash to provide a more discrete and permanent 5V USB supply: Before I start...

Hi, thought I would introduce myself. Just taken delivery of my Spyder from Spellbound Cars, who I have to say seem to have done a great job with the preparation (including a new clutch). I've been lurking and picking up tips from all of you for a little while to help me find the right one and I...
