[hotelise]

Hi - im looking for new front indicators as the clips retaining them have broken off! My dealer - DICK LOVETT SWINDON are useless, telling me this is not covered on my warranty!
So does anyone kno where i can get these parts cheaper than £65 +vat? each......thanks

Have a look on [url]www.elises.co.uk/problems/s2/index.html[/url]

This is a known problem with some s2 Elises so I would start argueing for a warranty fix (if the car is under warranty of course).
How old is it?

3 years old - 10,000 miles

or you could try a set of smoked side repeaters available at eliseparts.com [url]www.eliseparts.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=106&products_id=371[/url]

Try Blu-Tack. After the clip on mine went it kept the indicator in nicely without need for a new unit.

Complain to Lotus Customer Services - people have had these replaced under warranty I believe.

One of mine broke recently - on the M1 . Apparently a repair can be made by replacing the plastic clip with a metal one riveted to the unit itself (most decent accident repair garages will probably have done this). I plumped for a new one from my Lotus dealer as the thought of it flapping around on top of the front clam on the motorway again didn't bear thinking about. Oh, and getting the new one to fit can be fun too!

this was a recall and should have been fixed at when serviced.

Had one come off on a test drive! Thought I'd hit a bird as it bounced off the screen at Ahem MPH on a Devon twisty. As we arrived back at base one of the fitters came out and said he thought those clips are useless. Didn't buy the car.

I wouldn't discount a car on a test drive if this happened. If the rest of the car is sorted and what you want, it becomes a good negotiation point for the dealer/owner to get sorted before you handing over the wonga.
