What A Difference A Day Makes

[Sonya]

I've had my car over in Quorn (lotuspower.co.uk) for a service and general good going over. In around a day's work I have had;

 

A service

Coolant change

Brake fluid change

New sparks

Cleaned hurricane

Remote stat

Nylatron gear linkages

New OSF wheel bearing

ARB bushes

New NSF bottom ball joint

Various whistles and rattles rectified

Replaced towing eye

Upgraded headlight wiring

Replaced door springs

 

Car feels like new, even without anything that could substantially alter the feel of the car (Geo booked for next month!). I think it must just be psycological as it's so much less noisy with the new suspension and brake pad buffers (fitted last month), wheel bearing, ball joint, rattles gone etc. Also I suppose lots of little bits (service, sparks, cleaned induction) can add up to a big improvement.

 

Can't wait for the geo now, should feel even better!

Bah, no wonder Martin was to busy to do my C service at the mo!

 

Where you getting the Geo done Sonya?

[Ruxpin]

Who are lotuspower.co.uk?

 

The website doesn't like to anything about servicing. What can they do?

 

Are they linked to QED? Quorn's not a very big place.

 

Would be interested in their servicing options as they are very close,

 

Cheers Rich

Ruxpin, Lotus Power are Martin and Steve Edwards

 

They do servicing for Lotus's, helped Jonno get Blown K back on the road, and have just developed a Honda Coversion for their Exige. (one of the neatest I've seen!)

 

They also make the rear diffusers you can get off Elise Parts.

 

Martin is also a very nice guy and knows what he's on about.

And Steve's not ?

 

They are not a commercial outfit. They just know their beans. And are not linked to QED. They service peoples cars as and when and do track support for a few exiges who race in the mid engined series.

 

A friend of mine is driving from Bournemouth !! to leave it over the weekend there. Add a A Service ,exhaust, petrol back and forth and 2 nights on the sauce and this will cost about the same as driving it in and out of Westover Sportscar main dealer down there

 

Nothing like having a fresh service. I get through miles so quickly and actually look forward to getting it serviced

[Sonya]

Questions answered by the looks of it! Martin and Steve are perhaps the most trustworthy and skilled people I know locally. Between them and Horizon they could sew up the Lotus market in the Midlands, and beyond....

[Ruxpin]

Cheers for the replys.

 

If they're not commercial are they interested in servicing more cars - ie mine? 'C' service coming up. Or is it just friends etc.

 

I'd like to take it to Horizon but it's an awful long way for a service however good it is - still tempting though as the reports are excellent..... hummm

 

Waiting to hear on another option at the moment - but am still looking for a more local specialist - Quorn would be ideal - hence my interest.

I can also vote for Lotus Power.

 

I went a few months back with a sticking boot lid and not only did they sort that out but they gave my car a good look over,took it out for a test drive and generally put my mind at rest.

 

Also as mentioned in the above posts...... nice blokes.

They will fix anyones car (well almost) but they are really busy because they both have 9-5 jobs aswell but worth giving Martin a call to book it in, They are definately recommended

Blimey I live in the next village, how much do they charge for an A service?

My girlfriend lives round the Loughborough, so I'm interested too. Poor fellas will soon be burried by work

hey - I did the oil and filter change... there's not *much* more to an A service

 

They also make the rear diffusers you can get off Elise Parts.

Not sure that's true - they do look similar, but I don't think they supply them to Eliseparts - they're just an alternative.

Freedee, do you live in Rothley? Think I've seen your car parked up a couple of times if you do! (ice blue S2?)
