Re: Peter Best Insurance

I have just renewed my Elan M100 with Pete Best £173 but have yet to test them with a claim.
If you are a Club Lotus member, contact Alan Morgan. Pete Best are one of their chosen insurance company's and Alan is very good at sorting insurance disputes.

Re: Brake Failure!

I used 0.5 mm using the below tool and its been fine. If it is too small you will find the brakes starting to bind on. If this happens and you are out and about slightly loosen the master cylinder mounts as a get you home measure but at 0.5 mm Ive had no problems. Bash https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/40...

Re: New formulation of Valvoline VR1 Racing 20W-50 oil
