FYI,

On a normally aspirated Esprit removing and replacing the fuel tanks is pretty easy DIY job. Especiall the replacing part, as the new ally tanks have slightly smaller external dimensions. On my S2, with floor boards already removed it was 10 min job per side.
Not so easy on the S4 or V8s usually they remove the engine same time for access! Which takes you deep into £££ as you might as well get the belts replaced & water pump at the same time! Plus any other engine out maintenance items!
Yep, completely different ball game. The NA cars a pretty simple things. Of course the normal Lotus-position problems apply. One can do pretty much any job by yourself, it just taken three times as much time as in normal cars and hurts just so much that you almost give up. :-)
