Try ringing the telephone numbers listed on the website Sadly they are all not available ...

The manufacturer used by lotus is no longer in existence However we had been dealing directly with them for years.. The products used to colour wheels are made by a company call Freilacke I have one product code for silver that was used on lotus wheels (could poss be more) The code i have is Sport silver is WO1838MOE20A Our local wheel refurb company uses Freilacke to when we need help, thats who we go to Any wheel refurb company that uses the product may be able to help, however some of the colours used are a powder, so you may find it difficult to find a 'wet' solution (I think the silvers where a painted top coat, hence silver over black etc etc) When in business the wheel manufacturer where always very helps with info, sadly all that knowledge is now gone forever

Np sorry am unable to post picture They look closed but are just offset, does allow air flow this, sort of

Despite what the parts book says, the 430 vents may look closed, but there are 100% open, Its just the opening is not inline with the top vents, It allows airflow but not stone/debris to come through the vents. My 430 is exactly like this

Do you have track maps loaded in the software? you can upload any of the almost 5000 available ones. I normally only have the tracks i visit loaded to the dash

Its nothing to do with carbon seats... Lotus updated the seat runners in the 17.5my onwards cars and the hardware kit to allow both sets of belts to be used is not compatible with the later cars due to this change. Hope this helps

Mine has now done about 2500 miles and is absolutely brilliant. The upshift an well as the blip down shift just make me giggle like a small child...Its really rather good on track!!!

Updated in mid 2016 onwards (built not registered)

Yes just add a CAN expander, Channel expander, sensors etc and then use RS3 tp add to the screen of your choice

If the plug rotates it should come out, Its the plugs that are seized that stand a chance of breaking (In my experience)

Paul Is it the hose rotating on the plug or the plug rotating in the box? The plug has an O ring which can 'stick' or the plug can get stuck (seized into the gearbox). We carry the plugs in stock for workshop use for this very issue as they are easy to break if not careful. If the plug is rotating it will be the o ring stopping it coming out....!!

O/S/R wheel arch in front of the wheel

The default position of the valve is open, no need to jam it open etc, Just remove the vacuum pipe, Blank it of, Viola noise all the time

Back in stock with Lotus at the moment, They had 7 when I asked earlier this week, They are a standard Lotus part so available from all Lotus dealers

Just bought one for a customer and the Lotus price has gone up, so i changed the website, so it WAS as you said............
