This car just hates me! Post track-day woes...

Sorry to hear, but I don't think you've bought a lemon. I think you've bought a brilliant but highly tuned sports car that has seen some abuse and thus thrown up a couple of hard use related issues. Keep your chin up, give it some love and TLC and get back out doing what you love :thumbsup:

Thanks for the words of support mate.

And to everyone else as well. It was just a post to vent out some frustration... Honestly the last few years if you ask me what I think of my car I reply that I love it and hate it at the same time. When it works it's brilliant, but lately it feels like it's not ever working properly!

I had similar symptoms on an old car - turned out to be oxygenated battery connections. Cleaned them up and reconnected and I never had that same issue.

I know what you mean. We had a new battery installed last summer, I don't recall the connections being corroded or anything but I will check again.
