Servicing

General General Lotus Talk

Just wondered what everyone does when their Exige requires servicing:- Take it to Main Lotus Dealer- Take it to Lotus Specialist- Take it to a trusted garage- DIY- Don’t bother [image]http://www.exiges.com/ubb/NonCGI/images/icons/wink.gif[/image]CheersSimonE

Cheers Andy - have decided DIY route myself! - does clam have to be removed to change cambelt? CheersSimon

It depends on how old you are [image]http://www.exiges.com/ubb/NonCGI/images/icons/wink.gif[/image]Cam belt can be changed by removing the wheel arch liner.p.s. my garage is available [image]http://www.exiges.com/ubb/NonCGI/images/icons/wink.gif[/image][This message has been edited by Phil (edited 18 June 2003).]

No problem, its 16 meters long by 5 meters wide, full of junk and leaks when it rains

Have just taken my car into Fibre Glass Services for oil filters change and a all over check…All for only �100! Couldnt believe it.

Nice guys…whole garage is steeped in Lotus history…elan’s elite’s esprits…stacked up everywhere!

If your South Coast based I recommend them!

Whilst on the topic…

Can someone tell me if its right that the Exige needs servicing every 6000 miles?

Yes Matt, 6k, ignore the service book - it is wrong!

Dominic and that Miles Wilkins is a proper hoot - could listen to him for hours - if only south coast weren’t so far away!
