Hi All,
Well, my heart has triumphed over my head once again and I've bought a Lotus Elise.
IMO the '02 model' looks very pretty in Ardent Red.
Well, the battery warning light came on before I got it home!
Despite charging the battery overnight it let me down on the 2nd day. Luckily I had stopped for fuel where the discount place I get my batteries is around the back.
But health & safety rules dictated that the technician couldn't fit the battery while at the pumps, although I didn't mind as he helped me push the car the short distance to where it was ok.
So, the new battery has allowed me to play with my new toy for another day, but I must sort it.
So, my questions are:-
1) Do I have to remove the undertray to fit a new alternator drive belt (which I've bought). or is it best done by removing the rear offside wheel?How does the wheel arch liner come off?
2) Does anyone know the best source of a manual - is there a genuine Lotus service manual, or is the Haynes Enthusiast Guide any good?Thanks.
