A very happy Xmas Ray and to everyone else here. 🍾

Wow not many of us left owning Exiges. Mine's SORNed now with possible mini refurb over winter depending on funds. I should have a bit more time but much less money.

DIY. It's not a difficult job.

I'd flush and refill then check again Leigh. Cut the filter with snips rather than an angle grinder. Not sure what the bits will be if not metallic. Aluminium isn't magnetic so maybe residue from head work which got into the oil ways?

You will not know what to do with yourself once this is finished.

Never heard of them before.

I can't read that emoji so I assume it's a thumbs up and not a middle finger. Lol

So you're not selling it then Great news. You can now do mine if you're bored

I think the Toyota is similar to the S2 K series being on at 102 degrees and off at 96 degrees.

Continued best wishes mate.

It was the largest number of lotus in convoy which I don't think we got because people seemed incapable of driving at a steady speed rather than accelerate than brake to a stop. There will be an old thread in the archives somewhere.

Thanks. I'm going to hire a trailer locally then take the car to Gav. Just need to source the replacement boot and proper high temp grease.

There's not much left. Completely blown apart. If I can hire a trailer for £40 for the day it's a no brainer. Just need to get the right parts and tripod grease.

My inner tripod driveshaft boot has ripped apart. Given I can't drive it to Gavs are there any recommended trailer hire places near Newark that rent by the day? Either that or I could do with a mechanics help to fix it at home. Sleaford Trailers. Anyone used them. Thoughts?

Who cares. Just have fun and drive to yours and your car's ability.
