Yes it is quite tight, the gravel traps are deep and unforgiving, as one GS Spyder owner found out. The uphill right at the end, where all you can see is sky, has no Armco round the outside which is nice, just grass, oh and a 20+ metre drop down a bank!

The original owner specified the carbon interior pack option, which is Carbon steering wheel, Carbon gear knob, and carbon inserts in the doors. All I can say is "nice choice sir" :). Not sure I would have paid the option price (£1200 I think), but glad he did!

Went to Prescott Hill at the weekend, didn't get many runs as it was mega busy. Been there three times now, but this was the first time running with ASR off, left some nice "11's" off the start line, but greatly improved the punch out of the hairpins...

I have the carbon wheel in my 4200, and it is sooooo tactile :). Get great grip on it too.

I use McGrath's and I am very happy indeed with the quality of their work and communication.

I wouldn't touch run flats, they are so stiff on the side walls they will destroy the ride.

Mine was refusing to start whgen warm, especially when trying to restart after filling up with fuel. I had the fuel vapour valve replaced but that didn't fix it, but as the symptoms pointed towards flooding (it would turn over for 30 seconds before firing on 1, then 2 then 3 etc. until after...

I had a warm start problem with my car where it would only start on a couple of cylinders then gradually bring all 8 back in over 30-60 seconds. Very embarrassing at the petrol station! McGrath's suggested it might be an injector issue, so a bottle of Redex injector cleaner was dumped in the...

I must say that my key does turn very much, only a few degrees, and you don't hear the click of the lock, but the boot will open. So if you have movement on the key it may well be enough.

Stating the obvious maybe but have you tried GoCompare, Confused.com and the one I generally find the best, moneysupermarket.com?

My 4200 is on a 7K limited mileage policy with Privilege Insurance and currently pay £250 (dropping to £175 when I renew as I have just passed my Institute of Advanced Motorists test :-) )

This sounds like a bloody good idea. After driving through standing water shortly after getting my 4200 GT, not knowing about the air intake placement at the time and the car stopped halfway through the flood :-(. The bill for towing it out, getting it home, then having the car checked out...
