Morning everyone, does anyone know if the soft top fitted to the Elise s2 is also the same top that fits the exige 350s? I’ve been told my car was fitted with one (in the past) during the work I had carried out in my last service. Wondering if I can pick one up used, rather than pay dealership prices. Any advice would be appreciated 👍🏻

Hi all, I have a 16 plate Exige that has had a few dipped headlight issues: Initially one dipped headlight stopped working and I assumed it was the bulb Then a few weeks later my second dipped headlight stopped working Checked the bulbs and they were fine. Checked the fuses and they were fine Replaced the Switch Pack Module Worked fine for about 3-4 months Then one dipped headlight stopped working A few weeks later the second stopped working The connection to the bulb seem to almost get fried/melted like the attached. Does anyone have any ideas what might be causing this?

Hello all, just out curiosity has anybody else experienced either one of there front side indicators taking flight mid drive ? I was driving back from Whitchurch yesterday and mine decided to do exactly that. haven’t hit any pot holes, nor had I previously loosened it off around the seals etc…. Just very bizarre as I’ve never had a car like this where bits and pieces just fly off lol. also when getting a replacement as I have now ordered are there any ‘upgrades’ you can do to prevent this as I’ll be honest I’ll be driving with a bit of PTSD. Lol

I have just fitted a 7” Joying headunit to my Elise to replace the antiquated Alpine headunit I had fitted. It’s excellent! Sounds great, gives me wireless Apple CarPlay and was a doddle to fit. If anyone was thinking about fitting one, do it, you won’t be disappointed.

My car went into PJS last week for a full Geo setup. It's made such a difference to the handling of the car - Money well spent!! It was pointed out to me that my front tyres were over 8 years old! Although they have plenty of tread, I was advised to change them. My current front tyres are Yokohama AD07 (175/55R16). My rears are AD08RS (225/45R17). Due the car being my daily, I was advised to look at Yokohama V105 to replace the AD07's. I would have to increase tyres to 195/50R16 though. Is the combination of front and rears a good one or would I be better replacing all 4 for V105's? Any other recommendation? I realise tyre choice is subjective but any gu…

Hi All, Theo Clive's son has asked the following. any ideas? Hi Ray, hope you’re well! Got a little query, trying to get my Dads car on the road but hit a few obstacles. Couple of which have been sorted however such as dipped lights not being able to turn off and the radio not working but are still struggling to get the rear fog lights to operate fuses have been checked and they’re working. But on starting the car the battery isn’t charging which is leading to the alternator? Have you had any problems with yours at all? Or know anyone in the group that may have one?

One of my shocks has got very hard to adjust the stiffness on my Nitron ntr shocks. i think it’s may be a tiny bit of grit has got into the thread as it turned it. Would lithium grease spray work or GT85, which is better to carefully work into the thread where you adjust the stiffness?

The latest Absolute Lotus suggests (Issue 37 page 75) that it is simple to fit cruise control, with just the change of indicator stalk and an ECU mod. The stalks seem readily available, so has anyone experience of this please? I have a 2008 Elise SC thanks Keith

Hi all well it’s been a few years now since I sold my Elise SC Toyota 2009 and it’s one of the biggest mistakes ever just like when I sold a 911 turbo that’s now worth a fortune. Anyway I will be back one day but for now I have the original single outlet exhaust sat in my garage so if anyone needs one DM me with an offer. It would need picking up at B633TE. thanks I really do need to get another Lotus it’s was the best car I’ve ever owned👍

Now I've sorted the handling and tyres on my Elise, I can finally start to fine tune some bits that I don't particularly like. My Elise has a Larini exhaust fitted (which I really like). However, it has a twin tail pipe (titanium) which sits under the rear diffuser. I'd prefer to have an Oval one which sits more flush with the hole in the diffuser. Do I...... 1. Get a new exhaust from Larini along the lines of what I want. 2. Take the car to someone to get the tailpipes replaced? I'm sure I'd have no problem selling the exhaust as is and buying a replacement. Can anyone send me pictures of what they have fitted to their Elise to give me some ideas. …

Anyone else got bent needles on their Speedo and rev counter? Mine have been this way for a long time now so over reading all the time. Reset performed but of course makes no difference.
