J Mullen specialist coach works did a good job on a few massive chips on mine, and the guy there said he’d done plenty of Elises in the past. They had nice work on display on land rovers they were restoring there too. They’re in port seton.

Even if you don’t like it you still have to send a thank you note.

no worries. I consider it a complement, being the weak-willed, decadent, pampered S2 owner that I am.

Jsut to as yet another glowing report. New clutch from Craig, fixing intermittent clutch slipping problem. (Incidental new handbrake cable too). Car drives great now - big improvement - and best of all, a bunch of rattles that were there are now not. @C7`steve canal to Arthurs seat is a decent run f...

All fixed. Craig and team found the clutch release arm/fork was just very stuff/seized. Occasionally it was failing to return all the way after the clutch pedal had been depressed. (I always get confused with engaged/disengaged and clutches). Of course the only way to fix that is to get it all to bi...

Depending on time/energy, once you are back at Edinburgh instead of doing A1/M1 you could take the A701 from there over to Moffat (pretty fun once past the quite straight early stages) and then go south along the M74M6, cut back over to M1 on the a66 (via barnard castle) or a65 into Yorkshire dales?...

Thanks Campbell. Yes - I have a decent maintenance budget. Or did have. Now I have a lot of maintenance instead. :D As you say, only an issue if you aren’t prepared for and expecting it. At the end of it all, at least the car ends up in better condition than it was, hopefully noticeable in the drivi...

Close to 90k so not unreasonable I guess. Just been out to check and was careful to leave the clutch engaged for several seconds before checking for any slip. It still slips long after a gear change is completed/pedal is up, which I guess suggest not an issue related to that mechanism. Possibly a sl...

Likewise Ferg! (you had the newish-to-you S1 (s160/s111?)).
I cannot come along again this weekend (visitors). but my car is on its way to be being broken anyway so I guess that's irrelevant now that I type it.

Oh dear :( Clutch slip in 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th gears. I'd noticed a few times on going 1st to 2nd when accelerating hard/uphill in the past month. Now will slip in any gear, on the level, with moderate throttle opening. car has recent new master and slave cylinder. I guess the question is whether its ...
