Knackered S1 Stack Unit?

Hello all,

A good friend of mine has an S1 111s. He's based in the London area and his Rev counter doesn't function. The rest of the stack unit seems to work fine (i.e. LCD and Speedo).

Does this mean the whole unit needs replaced? (what he is being told down south). If so does anyone know how/where to get hold of one?

He's being quoted mega bucks for a replacement from Lotus :roll:

Cheers

Ron :thumbsup

Someone else will have to answer your question, but tell him not to buy a new one from Lotus, they are close to £1,000.

They appear fairly regularly on eBay, and also worth checking with Ali.

Would be cheaper to repair the one he has, he would have to have the mileage corrected if he bought a second hand one.

well, you cannot correct the milage :(
you will have to find a secondhand 1 with approx the right milage or accept that the later STACK has less miles :roll:

Do they do repairs, or just distribute the machine, d'ya know?

(Mine also needs some TLC, and I was under the impression that a replacement unit was the only option....)

Bit of everything, the guy who owns it is a whizz with electrmicals so Im sure the stack unit will be a walk in the park
