It's been sat awaiting my attention. Been otherwise busy on house things.

this week I plan on some strip down time though

This might explain the incriminating picture...

Picture removed to save Barry's blushes...

[Barrykearley]

Oh my god - where the hell did that other picture come from ?

We believe you, thousands wouldn't... I do still have the screenshot though, so any time you're thinking of selling the S4 at a bargain price, just let me know.

Nice deflection Barry! Now where can you get that cast hub from..?

[Barrykearley]

On a serious note @swindon_alan - that video would make you roar with laughter

[swindon_alan]

Does it involve @ian29gte trying to fix the carpet onto his rear window surround?

[swindon_alan]

PS I would have a good look at that offside rear wheel as well Barry, if it has had a whack to cause that then you might have cracks mate.

[Barrykearley]

Nothing obvious - starting to wonder if it was fractured when the bushes were done. It did a rather nice donught in the car park at the swimming pool last night - that might have assisted the process ?

[eeyoreish]

Somebody been hammering at that lower link perhaps.

Obvious but looks like SJ still list them and probably the best bet for new if you're really stuck. Not cheap though. Is that guy in Marlborough still breaking those Esprits? He was popping up on eBay randomly but can't see him there at the moment.

[Barrykearley]

I think so @eeyoreish - that busted side has had polys fitted - the other side hasn't.

im wondering now if they fractured it so didn't do the other side. It certainly wasn't cracked when I last looked

When you take the gearbox to bits, it'll also be worth doing:-

Clutch

Flywheel

Release bearing

Rear crank seal

Gearbox mounts

Gearbox output seals

Exhaust mounts

Translator

Oh, and maybe the charcoal canister.

Right hand rear hub

Right hand lower link

Right rear wheel bearing

 

You'll thank me further down the line.

 

 

Updated.

Keeerist, Bazza.  You're more likely to find Robert Maxwell riding Shergar.  I know an individual who's been looking for one of these for some time... 

[Barrykearley]

Argh fuckity fuckery - worst case it's sj on Tuesday. I really am keen to get to Brooklands in the esprit

[Barrykearley]

One bolt left and its off.

that bolt however is seized fking solid. Awaiting the return of my gas kit from next door. *mutters and swears profusely to ones self*

[Barrykearley]

And the speed sensor and abs sensors are now bust - dont know why I even bothered trying to get them out........

should have bought a Porsche 

[Barrykearley]

@swindon_alan can you help with these stupid sensors please. Can't find it in cross ref - but that may be my stupidness 

C082M6483F - rear abs sensor

A910E6939F - vehicle speed sensor been replace with A918E6080F

These must surely be generic cheapo things.......

[swindon_alan]

The ABS sensors were an OEM only part Barry (left and right handed versions). NLA but SJ look as though they have come up with an alternative.

I haven't looked at the VSS (vehicle speed sensor) before or tried to match up a cross ref but will put it on my to do list. Does it have any markings or part numbers on it @Barrykearley?

For now it looks like SJ have them at £24.30 + postage + VAT yadda yadda or alternatively Elise Shop have them in stock for £27 mate:

[Barrykearley]

I've smashed off one and it had a make and number on it - dunno which one it was will look and smash the other off and inspect. Will post the info up in a while once my tempers soothed

That Baileys over ice is looking v. attractive right now.

Plus pics of the VSS pleeeeze!

[swindon_alan]

Ah...found the VSS cross ref, it's the same part as the V8 crank sensor luckily! I've done the work on it before. Didn't remember it was the same. Yep, should be as cheap as chips:

Cross references:

Lotus part number: A910E6939F R /B : A918E6080F

The earlier 910 engine version is obsolete but the V8 one has direct replacements.

A910E6939F    Lotus factory part only. Not released to aftermarket    Sensor, Vehicle Speed (VSS) (MY 88 Delco fuel injection)          

As in used on the Lotus Elise and Exige Series 1s as a L/H rear hub speed sensor:

A918E6080F

SJ sell them for twenty quid. However, if you want to go elsewhere then they are:

The one on the right was an intellek x04x6099 the x was damaged with my hammer

the one on the left has a number like 1103703-2 on it - and that I actually have managed to extract in one piece 

[swindon_alan]

NB note that there are three ABS sensor types, front left hand, front right hand and a common one for the rears.
