Lotus Carlton mechanic - Yorkhire - needed ???
Discussion
Hi Winky - just waiting for ABs memebrship to come through
cannot wait to get on the forum
hopefully there is not too much bad stuff about the car !!!
it wasnt the dearest - so obviosuly isnt immaculate - but worth what I paid.
the issues I have are the cooling fan is always on, EML light on, and bad cold starting (needs alot of gas pumping to get and keep going at cold) I am thinking maybe coolant temp sensor ? but where is it ?
runs OK - bits of scabs starting inside some doors and some touching up done
some of the paint spraying is not the best - but I poishedit up and it doesnt look too bad at all actually.
cheers for any help
David

Hi Mike - yes will have a look under the kit in summer
although looking at some of the receipts I think alot of bits like that and sills have been welded and sorted.
it certainly has had alot of money spent on it in the past.
will replace the coolant sensor and see what changes we have.
would like to get someone to get it on a dyno or something and get all the fuelling/boost checked.
preferably without travelling all around the uk lol

coolant sensor changed - fans and EML light off - starting seems better also.
just a small occasional rattle from clutch now on tickover at neutral
sounds like clutch release bearing - I hope not as it had clutch, uprated pivot pin etc only 10k miles ago.
anyway clutch works fine -
still no password for ABS - even though paid and sent form back !!!

pretty sure its clutch - as it goes when you depress clutch at idle
but its not there all the time - so will play it by ear (literally)
located another LC locally - but its been in storage waiting engine rebuild for 1-1/2 years - due to big end failure. and apparently not in the best condition.
guy has been waiting to accumulate all the necessary bit to do repair !!
wouldnt mind buying it for spares - although engine completely goosed.
cheers
