warranties can be a nightmare no one wants responsibilty this dealer sounds rubish this is why its so important to buy form a good dealer.
sorry to here of your troubles since its basically an engine failure all this should be fixed free of charge to you so dont stand for anything other than a totaly free repair

sorry to read that,
I don't see a problem, and no argument about the this NOT being covered by the most simple of warranties, basically it's not wear and tear. Get the list of other items you have been having trouble with and submit the lot. The car as you have discribed over the last few days is "Not fit for purpose" this term you should say to your dealer when you next see him.

K - that's a serious fecker mate and sounds like the dreaded HGF. No way should the car be running regularly at temps that high. Fan should kick in around 96deg IIRC and you should be worried if it's constantly running at 100+
With all the problems you've had I dare say you may have a case under consumer law to return the car as "not fit for purpose" and demand a full refund from the dealer.
Have a chat to your local Citizens Advice Bureau and see what they say.
Very best of luck - gutted for you that it's been such a ballache, have a go at the dealer and see if you can get shot or at least get all the repairs to all the problems you've had fixed under warranty (assuming of course it's covered).
If the dealer gives you no joy you could try Lotus Customer Services (if its still under Lotus warranty) and see if they'll help you resolve the matter without recourse to vindictive lawyers etc.
Incidentally, Ted has a no naming and shaming policy on PH so you might want to edit your post above. I know its a PiTA but best not to let emotion get you in trouble.

I have not heard any good comments about this dealer. A mate bought a 111R from them months ago and had to return it to get rattles and loose bolts sorted. Never got fixed apparently.
Cant beleive this is the only dealer in scotland ! service costs are way more expensive than down south. Its putting me off saving for a 111R at all !
