Anyone ever heard of cracks appearing in the alloy tub of the 340 R - local guy was pretty upset about finding another one after the first had been repaired...naming no names to protect the innocent and those just about to be issued writs etc...

Thanks - it was just an enquiry from a friend.... I was a bit surprised that's it has the same chassis as the Elise. Poor guy has only had it since nov 2001 and done 400 miles. Not a very good dealer either.

Thanks that sounds like good advice...

Dealers can easily get upset if you turn up
with the wrong kind of attitude.

This chap clearly wanted the performance of a
motor bike with Audi like reliability and build
quality.

He did not want to buy a TVR as he had heard they were
unreliable.

So he bought a Lotus.

Frying pans and fire spring to mind here....

I'll pass on the comments next time I'm in
his pub for a jar !
