5 Points For The Trophy.

[scatty]

I think I'm going for the double whammy....

 

Just has to order a new air con condenser......:-(

[Alex B]

Remove aircon, save weight. Everybody wins.

[scatty]

I did in my scoob mate, it does weigh a tonne. But sadly if I want to sell it, exige owners are a bit anal about having air con in....

 

Oh and I've ordered a pro alloy rad as well. It flippin expensive when you've got the week off and time on your hands.....

[Alex B]

Booked in for Tuesday to have a once over check, dropping it off Monday night, does this count as an over night stay?

[scatty]

No points for just a check over.....

[Meister]

Scatty you think your unlucky - I have had my Elise for 1 month almost to the day! I have in this month had the following carried out....

C service

2 x cambelt

New Alternator & Belt

Faulty resistor pack and rattling blower motor ( Clam Off )

Buggered locking wheel nuts

2 x Front AD07 tyres

New coolant cap

After driving to Gav's to get the buggered wheel nuts out I drive all the way home to get coolant all over my windscreen 1 mile from home - back to Gav's again! Knacked Alloy radiator!

So in summary I have covered 500 miles in 1 month ( 125 driving to Unit4 and back ! ) - COST PER MILE = circa £4.40!!!!

What have I let myself in for with this Elise ownership?

[scatty]

That is pretty rough going... :-(

Wow - i thought my first month was unlucky (flagged down with a knackered wheel hub within half a mile of picking it up from the dealer followed by a weeping schock two weeks later) but i've got nothing on that!

 

Oh well, the only way is up from there i suppose ;-)

[Martin R]

Mark, 2 cambelts? That must be a special Elise Its all a Lotus ploy to stop you selling them. Once you have it sorted you will never let it go

I did in my scoob mate, it does weigh a tonne.

 

Less than 10kg's actually, I thought it would be more but in the grand Scheme of things......

[scatty]

mrs scatty says i do exaggerate some what...

[Martin R]

Hi Martin - Not quite two Cam belts ( as in two separate incidents ) but its the K Series VVC 111S!

 

I knew you meant the cambelt and the rear VVC belt Still an impressive list though. Im almost glad mines in bits.
