Scottish Elises

Please let me know if you have a black short roof soft top for sale, as fitted to S2/3 Elise/Exige and VX220. Thank you

I don't have much garden space (in the city) so 6m by 4m is about the biggest it could reasonably be. Still I think 4m is reasonable for width.

Re sectional doors - why are they better than up and over? What about roller doors?

Hi, I'm looking at realising a dream and finally getting a garage next year. I like the idea of a timber garage for looks, price and warmth. Any recommendations of suppliers (I'm in Glasgow)? Both for the garage itself and concrete base. Also keen to hear any advice, tips and experiences of timber g...

Yep - I bought the EliseParts one for doing the brake pad change recently.

Although, hopefully the new (used) caliper will come with the piston retracted anyway...

Thanks both. Unfortunately Livingston Auto Parts did not have any stock and nor, they said, did the manufacturer, AMK. My brakes have gone completely and as I'm in a hurry to get it fixed I've bought a used caliper from Junks which I will attempt to fit at the weekend, as the car is stuck on my driv...

It was mentioned on the VX220 forum that a few of you guys had bought Remanufactured rear calipers from Livingston Autoparts. Would anyone care to share their experience of these as I am in need of a new drivers side rear caliper and they seem to be the cheapest solution? Have you found them to be r...

My rear driver side caliper is leaking so I am looking to replace it. The car is a VX220 but it uses the same calipers as all S2 Elise and exige.

Please let me know if you have one spare

Adrain flux have been great for me.
