I'm really bad at taking photo's

Ah. Yes it's the commemorative edition. I shall have to look into this further. Maybe taking the car to a mechanic might be back on the table. Thanks for all the input.

Hi Filip. Thank you for your response. I shall have a look at what you suggested. I believe the calipers are similar to the se so this may well resolve it. My problem is that I don't like to mess with things that I need to stop. If I do something wrong that may result in me not being able to stop is a large fear of mine. Thanks again.

Hello everyone! My esprit is having some sticky brake problems. Callipers seem to be the culprit but I think that this may be beyond my technical ability as I don't know if it needs one rebuilt or something different. Can anyone recommend a garage/mechanic near to Buckinghamshire I could take my car too? Thanks all.

The binicle has been removed, the relay located and replaced! This was hard for someone who is not at all flexible haha. Now i have done this the hazard button has started working, so flashes as you would expect, which is a start. However the Hazard lights are still not working (the indicators are still working though with the new relay in). Any thoughts on that?

Thank you for your reply! I have a feeling i may be spending saturday upside down in my footwell removing the Bincle then.

Hello everyone! I have a question about my car: the hazard lights are not working. The car does have the button but it seems to do nothing, the button just lights up and there is a slight humming noise. Both indicators work fine so i am unsure why there would be an issue. At my MOT test the guy said all cars made 89 onwards needed Hazards. I know my car was first registerd in 89, so i would assume i am meant to have them fitted. Could anyone possible shed some light on the issue? Many thanks Cameron

Mark- Yes it is, glad you like it Jon- Thats a great pair of cars, they look fantastic together.

An Elan s and a Esprit v8 both in yellow, anti-clockwise on the M25 just near the M3 turn off today. Lovely

Hey, Thank you everyone for the really nice responses! Im glad everyone likes the car (I love it). I am currently working away from home so have not got any chance to look at coming to meets, but i shall be making an effort to come when this project is over. Sparky, where abouts are you based? I would like to come meet you and some people if possible on a saturday. Cameron

Heres one of her sitting in the driveway. And another Im near Hemel! When is the next meet in Harlow? I would love to see some more of these and meet some owners, if i am free of course.

Thanks everybody! I shall upload photos when I work out how too. Im in Bucks is there a Bucks group?

Hello everybody! I joined the forum at the beginning of the year when I started looking for an Esprit. I thought it would be best to introduce myself properly after posting in spotted (Link) when someone saw the car I bought. I purchased one 2 weeks ago, picked it up a week ago and finally got to know it last weekend! It is a white turbo esprit (one of the 40th anniversary colours one). I am completely smitten with it as you might be able to imagine. The car is in pretty great working order mechanically however there are a few bits and pieces I shall be doing over time, mostly interior related. If anyone could advice where best to find luggage compartment carpets for example, I need to replace these. I was also wondering if anyone would be able to suggest what the best meets to go too near London are. I am looking forward to being an active member of this lotus community further! Cameron
