Terry read them, I didn't get the details..
 
sweeetpete .. at 71,000 klm? You tell me.. I'm a noob with this car..

Ok thought KMs would have been higher with age of car. Also low KMs to start getting SMT problems especially in the updated version.
Get the codes from Terry and ask Cap Weir on Spyderchat , He is the SMT Guru.

Congrats on the purchase! The exterior looks nice and shiny. Is the interior as nice as the condition of the exterior?
 
Sorry to hear about the suspension and gearbox of your new car. I've always wanted a Spyder, but I've always wanted a proper manual one instead of one with the SMT. Once you get the new gear box in you'll have the perfect Spyder. Low KM, late model, with proper manual and nice new suspension. The TTR's had the factory leather trim as well from memory. Enjoy!

It's cherry, as they say.. everything but cruise control... :-)

Cruise Control can be retrofitted... I can get OEM kits from the UK ;)
 
What sort of suspension have you chosen to replace those old ones?

Can you get cruise controls for the SW20?

You can, but its more complex.  The SMT Spyders had a system that used the drive-by-wire throttle body to great effect, which meant less parts to stuff around with.

I'm not worried about cruise control for mine, honest. Not high on my agenda...

Computer etc arrived today ... that was fast.. (sent from Adelaide on Friday)

My clutch started playing up at 65k and died completely at 66.5k
Mine is also a 2004 with the traction control and stability control and they were the worst, did nothing but always kick in when it was not required.
Luckily for me and by a massive miracle after i cleared a airbag code using a actual obd2 reader it turned both permanently off. I do have a lit CEL for both on the dash but have had no issues
