Hi everyone!
I've just bought a used 2002 Spyder (which had been a demonstrator at the dealership so has done only 6,000 miles). There are a few electric/electronic niggles with it which I'm going to have the dealership address:
- the (optional) rear parking sensor doesn't work
- the (optional) electric adjustment of seats doesn't work the mirrors as I expect
... and I hope I don't find too many more!
One thing though - driving home last night (the first time I've drive the car in the "dark" as opposed to at dusk), I noticed that the speedometer needle is very poorly lit.
Glancing down at the dashboard, it is really difficult to see what speed you're doing without looking for what seems like a long time... and the rev counter needle is more noticeable, as is the oil temperature etc.
It's not completely light & dark, but it just seems that the speedo is that bit less easy to read.
Has anyone else experienced something like this? Should I expect the needle to be brightly lit? I've tweaked the brightness adjustment on the dash and it's currently set to 'brightest'.
Any help much appreciated!

PS - other than the few niggles, I love the car so far - it's a Rosso Mondial Spyder GT.
