    Viva Tea Party or Bust - September 2022

    Viva Tea Party or Bust - September 2022

    Jeez this trip is filling up fast- good start Not surprised as word must be getting out how gr8 these trips are- well done pulling it together!! Please count me in +1 if there's still space for a wee Spyder. Not sure if Stevie will be up for it as she's still recovering from a spirited weekend...

    Gransport 2007 blower fan not going off when ignition turned off

    Hi Tony I replaced the relay you mentioned on my 4200 about 6 weeks ago. The blower was working intermittently for about a year then wouldn't operate at all, so after much investigation replaced the relay and all now working as it should. As you suspect the relay is located under the passenger...

    4200 Manual, tried to bleed the clutch , and have been left with no clutch at all!

    Yes indeed I had to learn the hard way- but long enough ago now that I can have a laugh about it. The guys are correct- you only need to pull the clutch pedal back 1mm to allow the fluid into the brake master cylinder and this has to be done on every pump of the pedal to draw the fluid...

    Pricing for pis to be done

Cheers, Terry

    Pricing for pis to be done

    Hi Phil I'm based in Sunny Portstewart Norin Iron and the lucky owner of 4 4200's (don't ask - I has a very understanding wife!!). Purchased an X431 Pro3 last year with the latest software updates so should be up to the job of setting the PIS. Have change a few clutches over the years on the...

    4200 Clutch replacement

    I'm no mechanic but have successfully fitted 3 clutch's to my Spyder and 4200 over the last 12 years. Both are manual so no SD needed but it is labour intensive and takes me about 20 hours with tea breaks and flaffing around- thankfully I have a 2 post lift as without one would be a nightmare...

    4200 manual gear lever not centring

    Glad it worked out Rob- us gear crunching stick shifters need to stick together LOL. Hope you have your name down for one of the forum group buy gear knobs!! I also have a couple of CC 4200 but the stick shift Spyder and 4200 are more involving to drive- for me anyway (showing my age). The CC...

    4200 manual gear lever not centring

    Hi Rob If the bushing has never been cleaned and greased it will still move but not as freely as it should. As well as the bushing best to remove the rocker arm that the other cable is attached to and clean/grease it also. One bolt holds it in place and the rocker arm pivots on it (part No. on...

    MCV Front Splitter

    It would be great if the MC Splitter could be reproduced at an affordable price. I would be very interested in 2, possibly 3. If the cost of Carbon fiber is high I wouldn't mind a high quality fiberglass Splitter as it could always be painted. Big clap on the back for Team GCR offering to...

    4200 manual gear lever not centring

    It's common on the manually actuated gearbox for the linkage pivot arm bushing to partly seize- especially if not used for some time. This will cause the cables to appear tight- thankfully with the car on a ramp it is easy to remove and clean/re grease the bushing (also doable on chassis stands...
