P W Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Does anyone know anywhere I can get an alloy expansion bottle, for an S2 Exige ? Car's in for a service and just spotted hairline cracks and slight leak - standard cheap n nasty plastic offering from Lotus is over £200 ! Any suggestions would be much appreciated ?

cjwjames Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 I recall earlier in the year a Mloc member having the same problem and he got the Toyota version ( which is the same ) for around 50 quid of e bay It's a common fault on the Exige Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kieranexige Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Radium is by far the best product off the shelve I found, shy of contacting pro alloy. Its much more expensive than the plastic bottle though. http://www.rosssport.com/Brands/RADIUM/LOTUS/COOLANT-TANK-KIT-LOTUS-ELISEEXIGE-2ZZ-GE-OEM-LOCATION-RAD20-0039-01 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P W Posted November 7, 2016 Author Share Posted November 7, 2016 The radium kit looks very good Pro alloy don't make them for exiges, called them earlier Original Toyota part is £162 + vat apparently Anyone else know of any other alternatives to consider?

ollie Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 I was hoping you could get say the Toyota version for half the price of what lotus try and sell it for. Looks like Toyota are just as expensive though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scatty Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 Ha ha, they probably used to be, but then found out what folks were doing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P W Posted November 10, 2016 Author Share Posted November 10, 2016 Ollie - not a lot in it TBH I was quoted £210 from lotus dealer - think that was plus VAT, but not 100% - and from Toyota £162 + vat, so £194 - bargain !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollie Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 That's true every little helps. Suppose lotus would probably come back saying on back order as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
