Not to mention Cup2's are a nightmare to get in Exige size. PS5's are a better all round tyre

Yes, it seems to be a problem a few of us are now having since changing the drive belt. Mine was sounding horrendous earlier as it was wet, it’s not so bad in the dry and disappears after an hour or so of driving.

Thanks for the reply, Bob. Yeah, there could be many reasons as to what is making this particular noise. It just seems strange that a number of owners are now experiencing it after the belt has been replaced so it's not due to the car sitting idle. I'd be really peeved if I had to replace the belt so soon, it's only done a few hundred miles since it was changed. I'll hopefully manage a run in it this week and investigate it further when it inevitably starts up again.

I've only done a few hundred miles since I had the belt changed, I was hoping for a cheaper and less time-consuming fix haha! I know of a few others who are also experiencing the same issue too. Thanks for the reply

Hi there Phil, I had my belt changed last October on my Exige 410 and have had this noise occur a few days after fitting. I took the car out of storage last Friday, and it's still there. It's not there on start up but will slowly creep in before disappearing again after a long run and everything is nice and hot. What did you do to remedy it?

I’ve recently spoke to someone who would love to know who currently owns their old S1 Elise registration Y201 OGV (Described as midnight blue). The plate is no longer in existence unfortunately, all we know is they sold the car to a man on the Isle of Skye some years ago. any help would be much appreciated!

One of those nights.

I’ve not taken that many shots of the Exige this year, too busy driving when I have been out in it!!

Not long until I can enjoy nights like this again!

They are that, I do a lot of winter driving and some routes are other worldly when the hills have snow on them. I used it last winter as I hadn’t had the car long but only during the very mild periods we had, this winter it’s been far harsher. Brilliant climbing conditions though!!

That is true. It’s just too cold this far north to enjoy it properly in winter.

I’m too OCD about the mess grit/salt makes on the car. The bells etc were all cleaned, painted and other bits protected before winter and hopefully get some more mountain biking and winter climbing done with no Exige distraction!! It’s also tucked away in a specialist storage facility, out of sight out of…..

Lovely 350 that. Let’s be honest, no matter what variant you go for it’ll still be an incredible car. They are brilliant and utterly addictive. I cannot wait for my first blast in spring with the roof off.

Thank you, I can't ever seem to get it bang on like the pro's do!!

I enquired about a couple of similar 380's last year but they sold within hours of being advertised, in fact one didn't even make it that far as it sold from an Instagram story post! In the end I bought a stunning 410 and after having many long trips around the Highlands my partner and I have never found it uncomfortable. Boot space isn't as bad as you might expect either, you can fit a couple of soft holdalls in there and minimal room behind the seats for a jacket or two.
