It also looks like it still has the black ignition box on thr right fender. I am in the process of cleaning up the eng...

Re: Leather Colouring
Many of us in the BMW group have used Colourlock with excellent results. They are a UK company. They can match samples, or use the factory leather color code.

Re: Coolant leak - otter switch
I am going through the Excel SE, and this summer will be replacing the thermostat with the Hot Climate one. Since we live in Florida, I do this on most of my cars. I am also replacing all hoses with a new hose kit, and will be changing over to Evans. I have had good luck with Evans Coolant in the pa...

Re: DRLs, daylight running lights
How warm do the LEDs run? Instead of having them go off when one turns on the lights, could you install them instead of the regular bulb? They sure look good and bright.

Lotus Certificate of Provenance
I received my Lotus Certificate of Provenance yesterday. Great information included. One thing I found out that was interesting was that my Excel SE was the only LHD one made for the 1987 model year in white with full black leather interior. It also looks like it was at the dealership for a year bef...

Re: New Owner - Sorting Out the Car
I have received the new brake pads. I ended up deciding on Wagner Thermoquiets for the front, and Wagner QuickStop for the rear. I have used Wagner Thermoquiets in the past on other cars, and have really liked them. Unfortunately, they have been discontinued for most applications, but I found a set ...

Re: High level brake light
Here is what I am using. When I figure out how to post pictures I will. It is hidden just under the white lip in the black area.
