Cambelt/ tensioner question

[james33]

Hello to you all,

Can you tell me please if a elise on a 97 plate will have automatic cambelt tensioners or manuel. I dont want to order the respective cambelt and tensioners and find they are the wrong ones.Where do you recommend ordering these parts from I see elise parts.com are advertised are they on the button.

Many thanks James

No idea about the tensioner but Geary (the chap behind Eliseparts.com) will almost certainly know and service is second to none

Many thanks StuartB, anyone else know?

No nobody will know, based on the engine no ive had conflicting answers from lotus (static "usually"and elise parts (dynamic "usually" the earlier models you wont know 100% until you look/have it looked at. So especially on the earlier models before you order the parts dont assume that your engine no gives you the correct cambelt/tensioner because it doesnt sometimes. James
