• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Spyder Maintenance Excel Worksheet

With many Spyder owners doing their own work and the recent discussions about keeping records I thought I would share the spreadsheet that I use to record my service records. This spreadsheet is laid out like the service manual with service intervals in the columns and each service needed in the rows. I just add a new row as I complete a new service item and note where I got the parts from, etc. This worksheet was made for the RT with the SE5, you can add your own SM5 service items as needed. I keep copies of all my receipts in a 3-ring folder for future reference.

The far right column is used to note what services are needed at this time. I included the instructions on how to extract the work needed to a table at the end of the worksheet. I did not put this into a MACRO for security reasons but if you know how to write a MACRO feel free to do it to save time. The instructions are for Excel 2010.
I print this worksheet out and take it to the dealer when I have them do the service. This insures they know what I want done. This does not guaranty that it will get done but I can compare my list to their final work order to see what got skipped.

If you would like a copy please send me a PM with your email address.

Here is an example:

says zip is a valid file type. weird

I saw that .zip was listed as an acceptable file type but it came back as invalid several times. I was able to open and extract a good copy so I :dontknow: why it did not work. I would like to get a direct link in the post and will work on it. If anyone knows how to link it feel free to post it. :thumbup:

All requests have been filled for copies. If anyone did not get theirs please let me know.

With all the new owners out there I thought I would bump this up again.
 
RS SE5

Cool. anyone converted it for an RS SE5 yet?
I think the service schedule is the same but will try to find the latest version for the RS. I have one for my '09 GS but it has the old service schedule recommendations. If you would like a copy send a PM with your email and I will send it out.
