Picked up my car today

[Markrnorton]

Picked up my 4200 GT today. Very pleased with it. I’ve had Porsche’s for the past 15 years and it’s such a different drive.
So far so good

Welcome to the club!

Excellent Mark, welcome to the smile club! You can learn to really drive now, the feedback is there through the controls, dial yourself into it and the car will just get better and better. It took me putting winter tyres on it to fully appreciate it but going back to summers I was able to fine tune it.

Have fun....

Well only 5 days in and had my first issue. No indicators or wipers working. Stopped , pulled fuses all ok, replaced. Now the indicators and wipers work again!

I've had that too. Italian glitches i think, which you'll become used to. I've only had that problem once and all has been ok since.

 

[Markrnorton]

Very strange. But the car is still awesome

Worth checking the key returns to the correct position after starting, as it is not unknown for them to stick in a sort of mid position, which = no wipers, heater fan etc, I now routinely check every time I start it.

Thanks for the tip

This sounds exactly what your issue is, I had the same issue the key doesn't always return to the 'run' location from the start position, just a little twist back manually each time & you'll be fine, I used to pop an indicator on before setting off to confirm.
