Re: Puncture help

Think I am missing the tools I need to get the wheel off. What type of jack do I need ? something with a flat surface to use the specific jack point ? I understand there is a very specific point to jack from under the car but the jack I have has a U shape contact point which is not ideal for the car...

Re: Puncture help

Kwik fit canal street in perth happy enough to jack up the car. The stock yokos but not the A052. Will try and take the wheel of first and take it down to them to try a punture repair. Failing that inflate to 30 psi should give my 20 mins to get down there for a repair. If not repairable I can order...

Re: Puncture help

Generally what I do with other cars is remove the wheel and take it to Kenway in Dundee. But to do that I would need to figure out 1 how to jack the car and 2 get the alloy off.

Re: Puncture help

Parks dont hold any stock, dont have any mobile services and cant recommend any mobile services. They did suggest the AA cover I get with the vehicle could be used to ship the car to them for fitting.

Ok so mobile services ?

Puncture help

Morning, At the in-laws, had the car tucked away in their garage for a couple of nights. Was about to head home and spotted the rear right is flat with what looks like a paper clip extruding. I used my mobile air compressor to get it up to 20 psi and I also have spray sealant thing you get with the ...

In all the years I have had a Lotus I have not inflated a single tyre yet on one bizarrely.

640 miles done since January may explain it :lol:

Re: Solar panels

Thanks for posting the update Stu, super interesting to hear. Really like the idea of fitting panels to reduce electricity consumption. Think I will move back out into the country side again in 10 years or so but not really worried about the long term cost offset, like the idea of reducing monthly e...
