Hi Nick. The car is booked in for a week from the 11th May, i will let you know when i find out more.

Thanks Bibs, the garage have said they will sort it. Its just the booking it in and getting there.

Now that it has stopped raining 😃 i have taken the car out for its first run. I had only been out for 90 minutes when a engine warning light came on 😡, i think its only the emissions, as its been in the show room for the last 9 months. There is another problem when you are slowing down and get to 1500 rpm the car still wants to go almost as if the accelerator return spring is not strong enough. It is very annoying, you look like a learner driver as the car kangaroos down the road. Any ideas as to what this might be, the car will be going back to the dealer.

I was out in the car this weekend, with this colder weather i had the heater on. After about one hour it stopped working and it was working today for about one hour and stopped again. Does anybody know what's wrong with it.

Last weekend i was out driving the car when i noticed the heater fan is not working, it was working in the morning. I have researched this i don't think it can be the resister pack. The previous owner of the car (5 years) and my ownership of 3 years, all driven in the dry, protentional it has only been in the rain 12 times. What else can be wrong with it. The car has now been put into hibernation so would be a good time for me to work on it. I have also had the soft top fitted by Silverstone, but at the rear were they cut out the two small holes to take the metal bars their is a lot of rattling. I think the swarf has got in their when they drilled it out, is their any way of getting it out ? Thanks for your anticipated help Terry.

I will check it when I get home for the weekend.

I had the car out in this lovely weather. went to leave the car and lock it. It bleeped twice but did nothing. Is this a quick fix or does it need a new part.

Thanks for the replies, very reassuring.

I own LF1 Exige it is stored in my garage over the winter, by the looks of things probably for 4 months. When i do have the opportunity to get it out i would like to turn the engine over but not start it. I just want the oil to circulate the engine first. Without getting to involved what can i disconnect from the engine that will stop it from starting.

How do i go about registering my Lf1, can any one help. Terry.

I called in to the lotus dealer and the machanic said you are local I do like the Austin seven and the LF1 of course

I have finally picked up my LF1, what a great job Robert and his team at Lotus Silverstone have done. Wow driving home what a car loving it. every body who saw the car over the weekend said it looked stunning. 🤩

Lotus Silverstone are open again, at last. I am having my LF1 prepared , weather permitting I will pick it up end of next week, happy days.

Hi Mike thank you, I think when it comes time to sell I will be in my box. I don’t have the car yet😪, I would like the magazine if that is possible. I have just brought a car cover but it would be nice to have the right one. do you have a photo of the cover, I can always sell the one I have. I would just like to thank the guys on here for their support, I think the LF1 is worth every penny that I have paid for it. I am on my way to Scotland today so I called in to Silverstone just to have a look at the car, of course their is nobody their but I could see the car 🤩. Terry.

Hi Mike I have just part exchanged my Holden for your LF1. I have owned it from new 2008 and love the exclusivtivety of the car. I have been looking for a couple of years as to what to buy, I do like the unusual. As I am a avide formula one fan the Lotus LF1 just ticks all the right box’s. The Holden was used as a deposit and the rest of the money is coming from a house sale. This bloody coved-19 has put the house sale on hold so I am without a car at the moment. I have brought it with the F1 EXG that was a absolutely a must. I would be very interested in the memorabilia you have. Terry.
