Anyone got a car trailer in the Droitwich, Bromsgrove, Worcester area I can borrow/hire for half a day ? I need to get my Elise over to Paul Matty's

Hi

When I had a fault on my Elise a couple of years back with the engine cutting out they offered to come and pick the car up on there trailer ! Worth asking them as I'm sure they have one

 

Hope this helps

 

Regards

 

Colin

Thanks for that.  I did ask them and they put me in touch with the guy that does their "fetching and carrying".  He charged me just a little more than hiring a trailer fo rthe day.

 

Bad news is that the fuel pump has failed - £400+ for a new one + about 10 hours work

Thanks for the offers and advice guys.

 

I did contact Dan, but he was busy for the next few weeks.  So the car is over at PMSC now.

 

Just thinking £400 for a replacement fuel pump seems an awful lot - does that seem right??

£400 is very expensive. And looking at the parts diagrams that's just the pump bit of the unit - not the whole thing.

 

Spitfire (Gaz) does an uprated pump - not sure if they do one for an S2 but it's about £300 for the whole unit. This means you can just drop it in and don't have to rebuild yours with a new pump unit.

 

Yours is a Toyota yes? If so how about this from Seriously Lotus - http://www.seriouslylotus.com/fuel-pump-upgrade-kit-toyota-cars

 

Cheaper than the £400 odd from Lotus and you get more than just the pump.

 

Or just the fuel pump http://www.seriouslylotus.com/hi-flow-denso-fuel-pump-as-fitted-to-260-cup-etcat half the price of Lotus.

 

Both of the above pumps are uprated too.
