Pealing of the m62 j25 @ 1pm today. The motor is still looking good.

I was in the daily so hogging the outside lane harassing people.

S1 Elise fuel system is pretty reliable. Looks like you’ve tried the most common failure component which is the relay (MFRU). As most s1 elises will be approaching 20 years old the fuel pump is the next item I’m afraid. It’s a bit of a pain to diy as the tank needs to be dropped out.

You know this was me. Stickered up from the Sprints / Harewood/ etc

Evening Dave. Thought it might of been you by the description. Its been a longtime

Infamous car and a build I followed with great interest. Sadly couldn’t solve a drive shaft snapping issue so never saw its full potential.

And only 22k miles. Why own such a car and barely do 1k a year?

Some of us have a fleet of vehicles to choose from, why slum it?

Laser blue s2 at grimston bar today at ~4pm

P.S. the S1 chip heater still works!

Twas me. First proper drive in the old girl in three years. 150 miles and not a single other lotus spotted though

I was going to post, anyone fancy a run but thought better of it...

Followed you down through rishworth into ripponden tonight

Pop the dates up or drop me a message, I'm sure I'll be able to help at some point.

Good luck with the sale PT. Late 2004 was when I got my first S1 and the next couple of years were melee of classic road runs of which that ice blue S2 led many, fond memories chap, fond memories.

If you want to split these, I'd take just the drivers side?

I'll be in Hayton tomorrow if you're really stuck. Just seen on seloc that you're in wheaton /stalker

It will be tight, it's a lotus! Just look on https://www.deroure.com to give you an idea. You'll need access to both sides as its where it the flex connect to the hard brake line. It's very similar to the rear connection you've done but in a more inaccessible location.

The clam can stay on to change hoses even on a later s2 with abs from a quick look at a parts diagram (I'm an s1 man). You'll need to remove the front wheel arch liners to get access to the ends of the flexi hoses but that's about it.

Where are you located?
