That is excellent news. Plus, the weather is improving. We look forward to reports of rocketing mileage, and a perma-grin, Peter.I have only just come out of hospital.
That was a long stay. I hope that you are well on the road to recovery now and able to enjoy the fruits of your successful 4 year quest!I have only just come out of hospital.
More effort needed Peter6 months in and I have driven it once.
Hope you’re ok Pete and mending well.I have only just come out of hospital.
Same wishes for good health and great speed.Hope you’re ok Pete and mending well.

Same issue today. Trickle on and off weekly for a while. Drove out of garage to shop and all goo. Air in tires and set off Northwards - nothing electrical working but engine/gearbox all good. Stopped after 10’ - ign off then on and started - all back working. Bizarre that it starts with no issue then after a restart we get problems in what I am going to call Apollo 13 Mode. After a short run and restart it is all good again. Looks like our trickle doesn’t do a full job and the initial run drains the battery but thereafter voltage improves and all good. No warning lights at all just all electrical inoperative. Next time I will measure voltages. Battery has never let us down - 4 years old and always starts immediately.Spyder off today to SI for service & MOT.
Not without issue… off trickle and backed out of garage. 4 hrs later off to SI. After a while noticed no wipers, indicators etc, etc; only things working - engine gearbox and radio and I think an interior light. Stop or keep going?
Chose the latter while watching Voltage which slowly climbed above 12.
Arrived OK - re-started the car and all was well. Related this to Ash “it’s Italian!” Discussion re trickle charging. When the car returns, if on trickle will try using a plug timer to give 12 on/12 off rather than long periods of trickle?
Is there a big relay somewhere that the ECU decides to leave off in certain situations to preserve Amps?
If I know my Spyder is going to 'rest' for a while I use the isolator rather than the Ctek in the way you do - seems to work. But good luckSame issue today. Trickle on and off weekly for a while.

Me too, in my case by "while" I mean over 24hIf I know my Spyder is going to 'rest' for a while I use the isolator rather than the Ctek in the way you do - seems to work. But good luck
We're still oop north and like Booths - especially their selection of beerA run Up North - sad trip - but lightened by a stock up at Booths - “the Waitrose of The North” on the way back.
