Flytvr

Wheels have certainly not taken a knock, not even a kiss with a kerb! :( Tracking wise, she doesn't pull to right or left

I took the ISF down to Cornwall at the weekend (180 miles each way). The Mrs drove the first leg, and I couldn't help notice that she seemed to be making lots of tiny corrections to the keep the car pinned bang in the middle of the lane. When we swapped seats, I found the steering rather odd as well. When waited up with just a few degrees of turn left or right, all seemed fine. However, on the straights it felt jittery - almost like there was a numb point either side of dead centre. I stopped and checked the tyre pressures - which didn't seem to far out. Unfortunately, the rest of the journey was twisty A roads, so I was unable to tell if the problem had been fixed. On the return journey, I noticed the problem again, but also spotted that there was fair old bit of wind - cross winds. I'm want to believe that maybe the car is just susceptible to crosswinds, but I'm really not sure. OR maybe we were imagining things! I'd appreciate your thoughts. Cheers.

No idea - dealer sorted it all out under warranty.

@Arqum you were bang on the money. They replace the gel pad and it's massively better :)

Cool :) For me (and I know this may seem silly), the popping is very important.

Hi Peter. Does it pop, bang, crackle on overrun? Cheers. Dav

Week two of ownership for me :) My daily commute is currently 50 miles each way. So, the F is a garage toy. I guess this has pros and cons, but it does make driving it extra special - something to look forward to at the weekend. Off back to Wales tomorrow - should be a nice blat :)

Correct me if I am wrong, but am I right in saying that with the gearbox set to 'drive', upshifts are automatic, but in manual up shifts have to be done manually? Is there anyway that in manual I can still get the upshift done automatically (before hitting the rev limiter)? Not the end of the world if this is not possible, it's just what I'm used to coming from a BMW. Apologies if dumb question. Many thanks :)

Love that colour and interior. Superb.

That That's exactly how I feel :) My daily drive is a Volvo. I regularly get bullied on my daily commute by a woman in an Audi TT. I'll have to take the F to work one day :)

Thanks Mark :) She's tucked up in my garage at the moment. I will hopefully be getting her out at the weekend. :)

Sorry mate, I didn't get a change to look at it. Have you been to see it since? LOL :)

Thanks. As I've had the car a few days, I've just booked it in for the dealer to look at. I've had auto wipers on VWs, BMWs and a Volvo. All of which worked very well.

Tried cleaning the windscreen - no difference. Tried Rainex - no difference. Seems to work OK on the motorway when it is raining properly, but that sort defeats the point. Be interested to get some more opinions. Thanks.

Afternoon all. How good do you find the rain sensitive wipers on the ISF? I'm not sure mine has a fault, but no matter what sensitivity setting I set, it seems hit / miss if they are going to work. If I get out the vehicle and rub my finger across the sensor (smudging rain water), the wiper works. However, dripping water droplets on the sensor doesn't make the wipers work. And most importantly light rain doesn't make the wipers work either :( Anyone else have issues? Many thanks!

Thanks Peter :) Thanks Mike :) I do indeed! I broke the ISF news to the Mrs last night, and she is also excited :)

Thank you :)

Cheers buddy! :) I will certainly keep an eye out for you!

When I had my TVR, I used to wave at other TVR drivers. I suspect waving at other ISFs may be a rare thing! Having said that, I do see one on the M32 (Bristol) every now and again.

She is indeed from Lexus Bristol (09 Plate)

Thank you :) The ISF world seems very small :)

I'm just a little excited :)
