scatty Posted February 26, 2013 Author Posted February 26, 2013 I think I'm going for the double whammy.... Just has to order a new air con condenser......:-(
scatty Posted February 26, 2013 Author Posted February 26, 2013 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 Posted February 27, 2013 Posted February 27, 2013 Booked in for Tuesday to have a once over check, dropping it off Monday night, does this count as an over night stay?
Meister Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 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?
chrislane Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 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 Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 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
jimbo07g41 Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 Russ is out hiding his trophy as we speak.
Meister Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 Hi Martin - Not quite two Cam belts ( as in two separate incidents ) but its the K Series VVC 111S!

jonnyfox Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 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 Posted February 28, 2013 Author Posted February 28, 2013 mrs scatty says i do exaggerate some what...
Martin R Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 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.
