No, its not the Top Gear car. Replica built by me in 2012 to an even better standard than theirs. Original car is in a Lotus dealers in Dortmund.

Hi folks My name is Ian I don't normally bother with car forums these days, as I don't really have the time. I've had to barge straight in with a technical question on my Exige, so to counter for that I thought I'd show you my Lotus Lada Hope you like it Ian

Hi All, My names Ian and I'm new to this forum. Sorry to barge straight in here with a technical problem but I need to get to the bottom of an issue with my starter motor before the weekend and know body seems to have any idea what's wrong. My series 2 Exige has a problem with the starter motor where by when you hit the start button the solenoid just chatters and the whole dash display flashes. I've changed the starter and had the original tested and everything is ok. I have disconnected the "exciter" wire and ran a temporary cable up to the battery so I can start it. I've tested the start button too and all seems to work ok. I read somewhere on another forum that it may be the ECU control module but its difficult to test. Just wondered if anybody has come across this problem before? Many thanks in advance Ian
