Probably OEM ones at that price. The aftermarket ones, of which I'm only aware of 2 vendors that make them, are much more than that for a pair.

RRR Engineering - But they're not posted on their site still (has been about ~3 (?) years since they were announced). I reached out to Gregor Pekala (greg_at_rrrengineering_co_uk) directly and asked if they had any to sell, and he was able to ship me a pre-production set. Last I heard, they were nearing production on them.

As a comparison point, the RRRs are adjustable (even if you leave it at stock camber), and the design allows for easy replacement of all bushes. Plus there's no casting seam since they're machined, so a chance of crack reoccurrence is low. Price-wise, I think they're highly competitive compared to OEM, and at this point, might be easier to obtain. @Gareth44Good catch by your mech, and glad it was before the cracks allowed the bushing to move. If the bushing slides forward, it allows for contact between the outer CV gaiter and the lower spring perch, which can tear a hole. Wouldn't be a big problem if the gaiters were available from Lotus, but they haven't been for the past ~2 years unless you buy a complete driveshaft assembly.

They're part of Staingard now: Gliptone Car Care - Staingard

The backlighting is built directly into the top sticker on the HVAC panel:

Yes, they should be backlit. They're part of the dash dimmer circuit, so check that you have your brightness turned up. If you still can't see the backlighting, then you have to replace the HVAC control panel, as the lighting isn't provided by bulbs or replaceable LEDs.

I can send you a BOM with links to the components. It's relatively easy to put everything together if you're handy with a soldering iron.

Unfortunately I no longer have any components for these kits.

The power steering pump does not have its own belt; it uses the serpentine belt that goes around all the accessories, supercharger pulleys, and crankshaft pulley. OEM part # is B132E6500H, or you can use a Gates K071130

I haven't seen any aftermarket lowers, just uppers. If the play is from worn bushings, they should be individually replaceable.

In order to remove the filler bowl, the flap has to be opened (so you can unscrew the filler cap). If the solenoid is bad, there's a small hole on the side of the bowl where you can manually press in the pawl that holds the flap down.

I believe it's behind the enclosure, in the RHS rear wheel arch/sill area to block off that area to leaves/rodents/road noise/etc.

Ahh, I found it. It's the subwoofer foam block, #16

I could be mistaken, but it appears the same sort of foam that is found around the HVAC and cooling lines in the wheel arches.

Fairly certain this has been brought up before on LT, and appears to mainly affect S2 cars. Unsure why though.
