guys

just a warning, despite the official lotus lone and handbook stating that the cambelt should be chaned at the c, 54000 miles service, i was recommended by lakeside to get it changed early, so had planned to drop it in next week, last night pulled off from the lights ( behind someone else, so not fast) when i felt something break, and you guessed it, one broken cam belt. The car has never been tracked and does most of it's miles on the motorwy, so it's not like the engine has had a hard life.

also if max or tim tell you to get something done, do it now.

finally thanks to the guy in the silver mk2 how pulled up to check i was ok and offer his help, it's things like that which restore my faith in people

Sorry to hear that - yes most specialists recommend changing them early. Ive had mine done at 27K on my 1 year old S2.

For the sake of £200 its piece of mind ...especially if the engine is modified
