Last one in Sussex. If not know the area , teletubbies home was the production line for Rolls Royce. Open plan in clear glass. An impressive place !! Bwm's everywhere. But still a UJ flying.

Anyone had a message to call dealer and have engine depowered? Orange traction warning stayed on. No real power at all. Happened when changing gear near the 7k revs. Pulled over in a parking area. Turned off engine removed key and locked the car . Unlocked started and all was fine. Anyone else had an issue?? No power at all..

Sounds like the engine protection mode turned on, it could by caused by any number of problems ranging from bad fuel to serious engine damage.
Have the dealership read the service code for further error analysis.

Curious what kind of mileage your car has done?

Any news from the dealer?

Now using the Spyder more and slowly "getting it"

I had my reservations but a friend tried it out and screamed for joy as we blasted down the M3

I then thought this car ain't that bad after all!

Might become a keeper

Must be better roads to have a 'blast' on surely?

Roof off mine this morning on the way to work...
Took the long way obviously biggrin

Now up to 5,200 miles and loving it.

I'm most surprised by the brilliant ride, it's just soooo smooth, but always ready for full attack mode !!
