Re: Wiring diagrams for early Excels
Lovely offer but the diagrams technically belong to Lotus, and would be under copyright (I believe). Rather than risk infringing that via the forum (in which we are guests) I suggest not to distribute here. Anywhere else is your call. On that note, I think I will try and contact Lotus and ask if we ...

Re: New comer - Progress (edit)
Found a weird green/black wire running from either side of the engine bay. Turns out to be jumper for the Central Locking due to a broken wire in the left door. Reconnected the RH yellow ancillary cables as per book and made a new yellow from the LDHC (could not get into the taped loom without full ...

Re: Another timing belt question
I have a burroughs gauge (west oxfordshire) you can borrow any time. I hope to go to Castle coombe without the lotus of course. It's a bit further for you but is a nice day out.

Re: New comer - Progress (edit)
Removed the lower UJ off the steering column as I thought there was some lash. It was absolutely shot! Have a post 86 replacement of a beefier design so may have had an earlier version (incorrect one) installed. Design fits SJ's prior and post images https://onedrive.live.com/embed?resid=D6A05D2C269...

Re: New comer - Progress (edit)
Found malt vinegar to be a very good cleaner of rusty parts, plus cheap at 30p a pint. Air Con condenser brackets came up lovely, but it doesn't straighten studs! https://onedrive.live.com/embed?resid=D6A05D2C269DC8A9%212686&authkey=%21AKk49bWkDpBvQGw&width=800&height=1500 The Thermostat housing was...
