Scottish Elises

Mirror image Elise heading towards Kemnay from Alford direction Saturday morning 17th.

Word has it that over-tuned Td5's are prone to exhaust manifold warping due to over-heating; apparently curable by fitting a ceramic manfold (££). Otherwise the engine is pretty bomb-proof and takes to tuning well. I know personally of a couple of lightly chipped Td5's that have had no problems, and...

Has any one ever managed to find an easy way to remove and refit the oil filter from the top of the engine bay? i.e. without getting under the car and removing the under-tray.
(Yes, I do know that I'd need to get under there to drain the sump any way...).

I looks to be impossible.

Cheers

I personally wouldn't drive it until I got to the bottom of the flikering oil-light issue. If the oil light is genuinely indicating low oil pressure, you WILL damage the engine.

I was in my grey Defender; think I just about managed a no-doubt unexpected wave.

Great looking motor. What's the spec?

Entering the T-junction at Mason Lodge Fri 10th June, am. Flashed by grey Defender.

111 reg no.

1987. That explains why I liked it; classic. There were a number of that sort of vintage cars about at the time; was there a rally?

'Twas I. Out for a blat on what was, as you say, was a supeb evening for it. Liked the Porsche; what year is it?

Hi All -

Thanks for the welcome back.

With a bit of luck I'll now be able to find out about about group meets and runs in the ABZ area.

Personal plate with thirteen. Around 6pm. Rain spoils play... Happily I was in my Defender.

On the B993 out of Kemnay and again on the B9119 towards Echt. Spotted by Chrome Orange S2 seemingly doing the same loop just for hell of it, in the opposite direction.

Has anyone any experience of the eliseparts.com carbon fibre roof?

Me, I think. She's an SC.
