Re: Brake Servo

I suspect the rust may be a result of brake fluid getting to the paint, hence why it's rusted mainly on the underneath. If it was me ( assuming it is functioning well) I would just rub down, treat and repaint ( and then wait for it to fail the following week ) :roll: :lol: :wink:

Re: Elite, Eclat and Excel feature in Eletre launch

Yes. It was a bit emotional watching that red Excel drive in. Great to see it celebrated officially.

Re: Classic & Sports Car - Excel

Right so I've got the magazine now and read the article. Broadly speaking I'd say it shows the Excel in a very good light and I'm pleased they've mentioned in numerous places how great they are to drive ( so many previous articles I've seen haven't! ) I did really stress this point with the journali...

Re: Heater valve stuck open?

Thanks for the reply guys. It's definitely not a cable problem as I can see it moving the valve back and forth. I'll investigate further and report back

Re: ** SAVE THE DATE - Lotus in the Peak 2022 - 10th Anniversary **

I'm doing the classic run this time. Might book breakfast at Hassop but sometimes its quicker to just buy one when you are there. Yep, Carol and I are booking the classic run this year. I enjoy a 'spirited drive' as much as anybody but foot to the floor for 70 miles trying to keep up with Evora 400...
