Same applies to that reply

Bit of Sunday morning fun - assisting my neighbour dropping a lump back in 

silly old bugger bought that car new 

[Chillidoggy]

5 minute job, that.

[Stuart Monument]

Nice looking car. Wouldn’t it have made sense to put the head on first ? 

[Barrykearley]

It’s not the way I would have done it - but it’s the way he wanted to do it.

i was a bit surprised the top bit was missing 😂

Not even 30 minutes with tea and biscuits - nice little cars to work on 👍

My god Mr K .. Is there no stopping you on your quest  to help assist  fellow lotus owners .Your poor wife must never see you .....Mike

[Barrykearley]

Training course tomorrow - hotel booked. 

Now shall I take the van - which no doubt will get the back doors ripped off and robbed - or.........

ahhh I know - more road testing it is 👍

Good man!

[Barrykearley]

So far over 250 miles racked up - what a pleasure they have been as well. By the end of today it’ll be closer to 320.

now just gets me thinking - what next? 

Gotta be a full suspension rebuild👍

[Sparky]

Maybe say hello to the missus?

[Chillidoggy]

Deciding what to tackle next must easier now the big job of levelling the number plates has been done.

[Barrykearley]

350 post conversion miles racked up.

absolutely chuffed. It’s sooo much better.

now - anyone know the mintex part number for front pads??

[Clarky5150]

Nicely done Barry. Did you sort the low oil pressure when warm issue?

[Barrykearley]

@Clarky5150 it’s behaving exactly as it should in the service notes. Why Lotus fitted a gauge which goes all the way to 7 and a red which starts at 1. I will never know

Yeah, that'll make sense.  An earlier DM V8 should be the same as your S4s.

V8s had KH from the very beginning Gary. Praise the Lotus Engineering gods!

It works fine by the way. Thankfully...

[Barrykearley]

I’ve got a spare KH system lying around also if you get stuck

[swindon_alan]

Well thank you for the kind offer Barry. Is that the one you put on eBay with a starting bid of £16,786.54?

I'm ok though cheers. Got me a spare KH for £14 a while back...

Which reminds me, I must finish off looking for cross refs for servos for V8s - which you kindly helped me with ('96/'97 tricky. '98 on possible...) plus @Chillidoggy and I had a few exchanges on them as a Delco replacement option. Will look back and get on it again.

[Barrykearley]

The servos still here if you needs any more info from it

I should have been at work today - but gave it a swerve. 

It wasn't all quite what it seemed...obviously later that evening he went back for the "convention"

Dressing appropriately for the occasion, of course.

[Barrykearley]

Following the successful trials here and at our sister branches Margate Exotics and Watford Exotics of the DM deletions I’m pleased to announce things are moving forward on a very positive note.

The initial batch of kits are rapidly being allocated to customers and I’ve also got a set ready for the S4.

We at Farmyard Exotics now have confirmed bookings for two customer cars - one arriving next weekend and one shortly after.

if any of you chaps out there are fence sitting - I’d jump off it quick 👍

pictures will follow once cars arrive.
