Centre Console Scratch

[warrenarnold]

Hi,

I've just bought my first Elise (2002 Cobalt Blue Sport 135 Sports Tourer).

The car is fantastic. The one thing that bothers me is a big scratch on the passenger side of the centre console. Does anyone know where I might be able to buy a replacement from?

Also, I occasionaly hear a "springy" noise noise like a sping being twanged at random intervals during my journey; this can be when the car is moving or idle. It does not affect the ride and the shockes appear to be fine. Any ideas?

Many Thanks - Warren

Got to the bottom of the spring noise. It's the spring on the accelerator pedal that is causing it. It looks a bit worn and slightly misaligned, but I'm having the car serviced in a couple of weeks so I’ll get it checked out then.

Cheers

The price I was quoted for the center-console from Stratton Motors was £36 + VAT. It seems a bit steep for a chunk of plastic but I'll probably get one to put my mind at rest

Good to know other people have had the throttle spring noise. Do you know how it was fixed in the end?

Doesn't sound like you've had much luck!!

Just to make you feel better, I've got one that you havn't had: Moisture under headlights!!
