right ok…All seems to be there then except the ARB is black. Maybe thats cos its an 06 though. Would lotus be able to tell me? When i had my E46 M3, bmw were happy enough to print off the original spec sheet from when it was sold.
I still think this was one of the pre full production cars they fitted all the best bits on for the journalists because it is a 55 plate, so you have got a cracking car for the cash.
Cant fault it…I am in love. Was Registered 29-01-06, so is very early. Seems to be to my advantage. Does have a bit more understeer than i thought it would but then it also carries some silly speeds before it comes in. Will be getting the geometry checked and all set up etc in the near future.
[quote=Nath][quote=jonnyfox][quote=jfk]Take out the ABS fuse , that’ll do the trick.
There’s another benefit to doing this too but I’ll keep quiet about that and let you discover that one for yourself !
Have fun !

Here you go, clicky…
Nice car btw well done!
No problem. Not that old yet, so things might change, just having fun. Hope you do too in new car.Sounds like a bargain.
[quote=ExigeS]Just checked…Shocks are bilstien. Well happy though. What oil are people using? Was thinking of using millers 10-60 Fully Synth and Redline MT90 in the gearbox.
Car could do with a service. I was hoping to get some sort of extended warranty but they just told me they dont do it.

Most people use silkolene pro S 5w-40 that I see on tdays. When I used to get my car serviced elsewhere they out mobil 1 in. This tended to go black fairly quickly even on road miles and use about a litre up every tday, so i’d avoid that.
As your in S.Wales this might be close enough for you link although they’re bound to have another offer soon enough.
A few peeps I know are on the AA warranty, �50 a year I think and pays the first �500 of any repair (5 a year -�25 excess). You do have to breakdown to use it though.
Ended up with Silkolene Pro s 10w - 50. And silkolene Silkatran in the gearebox. Gearchange is alot smoother now and rarely crunches going into 5th. Every other gear is fine.
