I would like to get my ECU reprogrammed to alter the point at which the cam comes on song, from the current 6500 rpm to a lower and more user friendly 5750rpm. I have been told this can be done easily enough, but I do not know where or how much.
The other alternative I possibly have is that my missus works for Lotus, and I have been told that someone in the competitons department can do it...does anyone have any contact details?

Many thanks

Any Lotus dealer should be able to do this... so Stratton Motor Co or Castle Lotus out in East Anglia and also a number of Lotus Specialists can it, or similar things... Hangar 111R is out east too.

Thanks...I have established a contact at Hethel so that bits sorted....now I am going to sound like a muppet, but I am just being cautious...to remove the ECU is basically very straightforward, but the are a couple of plastic overcentre catches which hold the two wiring plugs in. I have released the clips on these and rotated the clamps back, but they only rotate so far before they become tight again. I do not want to force them just in case I break the clamps.....do I just force them, or is there another clip?

I think I recall somebody mentioning a company (legit) doing the proper Lotus Motorsport remap for £150. Have a quick search as it was only recent

'ere you go

Thanks for this link....it just gauls me to be asked to pay nearly £500-00 for 10 mins work to remove and replace the ECU, plus another 2 mins to reprogram the ECU. Obviously you are paying for development, etc etc, but £500-00!! mind you a few years ago I paid this to have my Golf Tdi`s ECU remapped....and it was brilliant, until the clutch went!
