Boot Seal

Post by ExigeKen » Tue Apr 03, 2007 9:57 pm

Hi

Can anyone recommend the best place to get a new boot seal for an S2 Exige I have removed the goldfish and now keep them in the house so need to buy a new seal so I can carry stuff in the boot:?:

I'm guessing that's going to be a Lotus part, so MMC order from Lotus or mail order from one of the other dealers, e.g. I think Christopher Neil does this and also some place called "something or other sports cars something or other" - search the list - I am sure Simon I posted something about a rear caliper seal coming from there and they have a long Lotus parts list.

Cheers

The boot seal is an inch short and does not meet no matter how much you try and stretch it!! I had it back to MMC three times to look at the leaky boot and they never sorted it strange eh? :(

Well go back and ask for another one for free. If they didn't fix the problem you reported under warranty, they should still be trying to rectify it for free. Don't take no for an answer!
