yep...l got the all manuals before l even got the car but l will need to take a week off work to read them....hoping its easy as you say....one thing seems for sure is that you can spend as much time reading about ZR1 maintenace and repairs as you can driving them....probably more

i wish i was good enough on these things to be able to post a link for you. one way to tell if your clutch switch is working is turn it to start and watch the volts gauge as you push the clutch in and out if there is no change then bingo thats the offending angel. hope this helps a little

XXXSCIMITARXXX, You CAN change the ride settings while on the move. Does`nt hurt a thing.

Congratz on the Z!!

As for "service ride control"... I'll see why mine came on for the first time ever, and we'll compare notes. It's prolly a connection or some such simple thing (I hope!). However, you can switch between modes "on the fly" - really cool feature!!

Welcome to the club! When ya get some time, how 'bout some pics of your new toy with some of that English countryside in the background??

Another welcome to the world of ZR-1s... really special cars!

Since we are trouble shooting... could also be the battery connections...if cables are a bit loose indicator lights can light up but not sufficient for the amp draw down when trying to start... also does your car have one of those battery cable quick disconnects... those things can be trouble from the get go

Hope whatever is the issue it is easily corrected
