Hi
Hopefully getting a S2 111S real soon. I live in Fareham on the south coats. Where's the best/nearest place to take it for a service and get parts fitted (like a sports exhaust :D

I live in Waterlooville not far from you and after taking my 'liz back to a main dealer for it's first 'A' service and being charged nearly £350!! I needed to find somewhere cheaper.

Try Miles Wilkins at Fibreglass Services www.fibreglassservices.co.uk - they are in a little place called Yapton near Arundal.

He really knows his Lotus stuff having been a parts and service garage for them since God knows when - don't be put off by the ramshackle appearence of the garage, the service is superb and Miles is a real character.

The price of an 'A' service? - £100 including VAT.

Their bodywork repairs is what they are really known for and did a great job on my S2 after I reversed into something and put a large crack in my rear clam.

Loads of others on here and SELOC have used Miles over the years and have nothing but good comments.

Cheers
That sounds great, not tto far away either. I much prefer to take it to someone like him rather than a dealer - had bad experiences with dealers when I had my Elan, they managed to my tracking up and charge me nearly 150 notes for the pleasure.
I believe they are not in business anymore!
You ever done any SELOC curry and Naan runs round the south downs? I'm looking forward to doing one again, took my Marcos along last time, had top fun!

I work in Fareham so will hopefully see you around!

Can only echo the recommendation for Fibreglass Services - top notch work and fantastic value for money You alos get an official Lotus stamp in the book.

Enjy - I have met up with a few local boys (and girls) via SELOC to do a couple of runs from Hayling out to Goodwood then up to Petersfield and back.

I missed the last one that a guy called Stuart from Southampton organised - I think they went from the top of Portsdown Hill then off West somewhere.

Might meet up with you soon then - keep your eyes on SELOC.

Fibreglass Services - Yapton nr Arundel

Westover Lotus - Poole (nr the quay).

I have had good experiences with both.

Miles is very good on labour costs plus highly entertaining.
