650s owneres in Aberdeen

[duka]

any owners in the NE of Scotland? I'm after some advice

[mrloudly]

Take it back, something's not right ;-) Shame I'm not closer, would willingly let you compare mine! Hope you get it resolved ;-)

[mrloudly]

I know this may sound silly, they do have the fronts on the right way round? Just a thought ;-)

[duka]

nothing like being 360 miles from the dealer to get it checked!!

Whats the issue ? a lot of new 12c owners here that may be able to help.

Take it to Glasgow, they'll look at it for you. One thing I will say of my experience with Mclaren dealers, they all do seem to help each other. I guess
it's because they have a small clientele for the brand and never know what's around the corner ;-)

There are a handful of 650S in Aberdeen and more coming. McLaren Glasgow provides most of them. If you want to be put in contact with guys from the dealership, PM me.

It might just be a wheel balancing issue, had similar on mine. Have you got judder through the steering wheel?

[TISPKJ]

Have you tried in all 3 suspension settings and is it the same in all ?
Tyre pressures ?

Hi Duka - I have a 650s Spider (recent upgrade from a 12c) - I'm based in North East England but work in Aberdeen during the week - I'd be happy to help out if I can.

What tyres?

I've just fitted Corsas and getting the same.

[duka]

yip - corsas fitted

is there a "heat cycle" with the tyres to get them bedded in?

Thanks - will maybe take you up on the offer - McLaren assist are checking car over tomorrow so will see what they say first.

Cheers

Reading the above my thoughts would be its just the Corsa's, although I think they were an option when new on 12c so you would hope better sorted.
My old GT3 with track settings used to tramline badly on R888's, its just something you had to get used to on our rubbish UK roads.
could be the car needs a Geo set up to run Corsa's ?
Call and talk to Ben in service dept at Mclaren Ascot, very helpful and knowledgable guy.

[Hollowpockets]

I'd doubt tyres would be causing any issues like you describe, geometry will be out or a wheel will be out of balance.

[TP321]

Corsas tend to tramline a lot. Take it on a really smooth, flat road and see if it feels different. The Pzeros are a better option if you don't track the car regularly.

I have Corsas on my 12C and they behave perfectly fine compared to the original Pzero.
May be you lost a weight or a pot hole disturbed your geometry ?
