Heavy steering on full lock + 9K service cost
Discussion
Hi,
I'm considering buying a 98 Elise that I've seen however I need a couple of details confirming to put my mind at rest:
It needs its 9K service right now. Approximately how much should I budget for it at a Lotus dealer (tyres/brakes appear to be fine)?
The steering felt fine except on full lock when doing a 3-point turn when it was very very heavy. Is this normal?
Finally, in the rain is it normal for steam to come from the front bonnet grills when you stop (I can hear you laughing already). I was told it was water that had run forward on to the radiator and was evaporating.
All opinions welcome!
