hi paul,

I bought one some weeks ago at www.loeffelsender.de but probably you can get it cheaper in the UK.

tried to find out too if it fits from another car but as far as I know you need a lotus oilcooler.

a lotus garage wanted 600 (!) euro for the part - i paid 240 euro.

The light pods and motors are also out , not as hard as i had been led to belive.
