What Coolant

[andy g bmth]

morning

does anyone know where to buy coolant for the S1 in Bournemouth as i'm down to minimum.

does it matter which type as i've heard there are different colours which cannot be mixed?

Try the Lotus dealers - Westover Sportscars - 01202 679992 - speak to Paul or Pete in parts.

Isn't the minimum mark the place where Elise's are "supposed" to sit at?

[jrchannon]

Exactly - you put any more in and it will just pi$$ it out.

The reason it sits on minimum (so I've been told) is because the coolant reservoir is the same as the one in the MGF but it's mounted differently so will always read on minimum (when cold) and above that when running.

Lesson over.

You can check that with Westover but your best bet is the technical archives on the Lotus BBS on the British Cars website.

cheers lads

its dropped about at quarter of an inch from where it normally sits so i'll get some to sit at home in case one of the clips have worked loose.
