I reckon they're using the wishbone, right at the base next to the mount. I've seen Ali do that with a 4-point lift so I guess it's Ok if done with care.

Re: Alarm keyfob replacement

My pikey solution was to buy a cheap tourist keyring with a flexible metal strap and canibalise this to replace the rubber bit. Slotted straight into the Cobra casing but I might have been lucky to find just the right size on the first attempt.

I'm on West Main Street near the fire station. I've seen your red VX passing my house a few times :)

Re: MOT Time, where in Edinburgh?

Here's an alternative if you can't get hold of Ali in time. Colin Brown in Broxburn has done my car for years and I believe he does other Elises as well.

Re: 3 lotus's in last few days

Quite right Ferg, the maroon one might have been me. I take that route home from work though 7:15 seems quite late for a slacker like me :)

Re: Deep Red S1 - Queensferry road.

That would be me I think...you have excellent taste, sir.

I was probably looking a bit glum as I'd just spent half an hour in the rain fiddling with the distributor cap :(

A bit late I guess but Colin does my Elise and he's always been very helpful especially with short notice and late evening bookings. He knows how to treat the car as well.

I'm keen to see this done.
I've already had the HG changed twice (3 times if you count the faulty one)...next time I'll be having a bash myself.

Nice one Lawrence.
