This is something you need to fix quickly before we have another Excel up in flames. I read a magazine artical on buying Excels and this was one thing they advised the potential buyer to look out for. They said 'any leak from that pipe and its instant flambé' 'Relace with braded' I suppose you need ...

I only got my Lotus on March 31st so as a new boy to the Lotus scene I went down to Wiltshire with my 10 year old son just to watch the action with a view to taking part next year when hopef...

Shifted the allen bolt with a 5mm drive bit I purchesed today. Caliper is now off. I will sort out a replacement this week. Will put a clock on the disc to see if all that heat has distorted it.
