Hi Tony. Ping me a message with details of the Elite/Eclat register and I will pass it to the new owners of the cars that have moved on and ask they send you the details.

Cheers.

John.

Hi Bib's. Is it still possible to download manuals through the forum. Type 75 Elite in particular.

Cheers.

Welcome to the greatest family on earth. Well for Lotus anyway.

So, give up the secret. Where about's are you hiding out and have you applied to join Club Lotus North East Scotland yet, or LEG's

PM me for email details on both if you want.

Your the man for a strange issue on an SE. Starts and idles fine at between 750 and 1,000 RPM. Try increase revs gets to about 1750 and starts to hunt then missfire. Tried Esprit Scan and no faults recorder. It did have TPS issue which we replaced, set at correct values. But still the same. HELP.

Hi Bud, just to let you know my Valet Pro arrived today.

Thanks once again for a great service.

John.

Bib's, a friend of mine is looking at an S3 for sale in High Wycombe. Do you know anyone in the area who is a bit savvy with the esprit that could give it a look over for him, he is a first time buyer of Lotus.

Cheers bud.

Hi Tony. looks like I have to change vehicle as the S3 will be languishing in a motor museum in Oxford somewhere. Can I replace it with my wifes car which is a 1991 Lotus elan M100 S1 Turbo. Slightly modified mechanically. Reg No. H907 GRK.

Hope this is not too much hassle for you.

Cheers.

John.

Morning Bud. Just to let you know I didnt get that S3 n/a yesterday. Went to finalise the deal and he jacked the price up by 3k as he said he nw had others interested so I just siad well keep it, a deals a deal and walked away. Hpwever, I did get the little barn find I discovered. 1971 M100 turbo, 47k genuine miles on the clock with documents to prove so a busy day yesterday and got her home last night. Once again, now the work begins. Rear brakes all seized up with sitting with the handbrake on for so long. The sad part was the lady I bought her off, her husband is a well trained mechanic and just ignored it, along with several other issues I think. Hence the split in the relationship and the car for sale.

Hi Tony, found the link for paying via Paypal so sent payment for the S3 and have copied the link to the other two guys.

John.

Hi Bibs, what dates have you for later in the year, only thing critical for me is I need broad band for work contact. Let me know whats available.

And happy birthday mate.

Hi Mark, does you Elite have power steering. Reason for asking is my Mrs previously had an Eclat which I subsequently sold and bought her an M100 turbo, tuned and pretty good on the road, but she now wants to go back old school, so I have just mentioned your Elite and she may be interested ( yes she is a strange woman) if you are still considering selling. We are not that far from you being just North of Aberdeen and will in fact be in Glasgow on the 5/6th of June. I would need to sell her M100 first as dont have room for another car without getting rid of one first though. Let me know what you think.

Thanks for your comments Moxie. If you go to my facebook page there are some cracking photographgs taken by the local press a couple of week ago. She is due out in the papers in about 3 wees timeas amotoring feature. Barn fin last year in Sussex, been in the shed for 9 years bt still looked after by her PO. 48 k miles and only 2 owners, now at 54k and having fun.

Hi bud, can you check and see that my renewal was paid ok as I keep getting messages supposedly from Paypal saying payment failed on today's date, 14/04.16 but I am sure it was renewed a couple of months back s suspect a scam.

Hi Bibs, having a problem posting. Every time I try the system hangs up.

Hi folks I am a newbie and the proud owner of an S3 Esprit and an Eclat, at the moment neither are running, the S3 due to an electrical fault and the Eclat due to a collapsed rear end oil seal.
