New addition to the MLOC family

Great choice Rich - glad I could help a little pre-purchase and good to see you’ve gone through with it 👍🏻

So Ethan’s busy with work and has asked me to post a few pics . Colour is deep metallic purple which is spookily what my exige was when I bought it before it entered its blue phase …

O what fun lol enjoy. I doubt there is anything you need that is not in my garage. You ae welcome to use and return. No point buying ball joint tools etc i have them. You can remove bushes using two sockets and a big vice. Use OE no need to be fancy. You might need a bit of bush lubricant to get them to seat correctly when replacing. No idea if my old thread is still on here from "cough" a couple of years ago. If it were me i would go for S2 Bilsteins. You may well find a second hand set at reasonable prices if you keep your eyes open.

I would blast, passivate and POR clear the wishbones as you can see whats going on after? Nothing wrong with OE toelinks for a road car. fit new and check they are tight and still rotate once a year using a spanner on the flats provided. people dont check them and then complain when they seize and break. I will PM my mobile number if i can help? Text or give me a ring if required. I also have allsorts in my loft lol.

Steve Geragaty had one that colour. No idea if he still has it.

I am sure he might regret it after the 20th phone call about removing a heater matrix 🤕. 
As mentioned the previous owner ( an absolute gentleman who was very honest , hospitable and even filled the car with fuel for me to get home from collection ) had had to keep the car outside and despite mechanically keeping it tip top and serviced had , I think , just fallen out of love with it and moved on with his life to new adventures.  I have go admit I was heading a similar route with my exige having managed a paltry 2k miles in the last 4 years , but my sons interest and the last Sunday peaks run before Xmas when I tagged on the end of the run near crowdecote got me back in the groove of these fab little cars .

 Blimey, Scatty the lurker!! 

How are you mate?  I hope you've booked LitP 2022  😊

Rich there are some 135 cams for sale on facebook - the lotus used parts - worldwide page. Only £100 the pair! I think he has only just listed them. Be quick!

[richbk]

I have already snaffled a pair for £120 local to my lads work In Shropshire. He is picking them up tomorrow. 
Suspension is the tricky find . I sold my S2 Bilsteins of my exige for £250 when I swopped to ohlins ….. it seems it’s going for more than  that for just a front pair second hand atm !! 

[Jonathan E]

Sorry Rich, no Compomotives knocking around my place I'm afraid, to be honest they'd be a bloody headache now, AWI's are getting hard enough to find, imagine biffing a MO, rarer than hens teeth these days. Great offer from Martin(hope your keeping well Martin👍) Not much he won't be able to put you straight on.
