The Lotus Grand Tourers

Just ordered my paint of ebay as it was cheaper than frosts as they add 6.95 for postage. False economy as I bought 2 cans for some reason

Curve ball from the right. Age of the tyre is one factor which determines their serviceability. Most people are using thread depth as their marker for a good tyre. However, low annual usage extends the life of the tyre based on thread depth. But this can be a killer - example in the recent bus crash...

If still jumping after lube try these

Love those seats . What MY year are they?

WELCOME oops caps lock. You are nearly as green as me and I bet your smile is just as wide. I am 14 days into my ownership. There is a map link showing locations of many owners but I cant remember where I saw it. Were you at Goodwood today ?

Has anyone ever found a 90 degree elbow to fit the gap and come direct off the compressor to allow conversion to r134a connections?

Thanks again for guidance. I had found that article earlier whilst looking for the connection info. A very handy MOD that one.

Hi, I have been looking for info on Aircon re-gasing. Are there any points I need to be aware of?

I am at Brize Norton / Carterton (17 miles to swindon). If I had seen this earlier I would have driven over in the sunshine

Welcome anytime

I have an 8 day old SA

The indicator / side light cluster looks non standard - or mine are wrong

Hi Kingmaker.
Can I ask what was the noise you heard prior to the breakdown?

I too have an SA, with an audible whine, of which I can control the pitch with the throttle

Being deaf on one side doesn't help me triangulate the source.

Cheers

Thanks all for input - no panic here !

That turning circle is now a learning curve

Can I resurrect this and ask what the out come was, as I have a similar feel of inefficient braking, - but I know I have 2 sticky calipers to start with.

Hi

On full lock I find the tyres are rubbing, is this a usual occurrence or should I be looking for a nasty? 205's fitted.

I take it there is history related to wiper motors, but first I would at least check the fuse and supply before ripping a dash out.
