Thanks for the input Greg. I ended up ordering them from SJ Sportcars. The lead time from Axminster was just too long since my car is already in the workshop.

Thanks Barry, I will see if I can find an suitable company.

Hello Everyone, I have a Esprit V8 1996 that needs to have the fuel tanks replaced. Could you let me know if there are any suppliers for tanks? Would be greatly appreciated. Car is in Australia Regards Robert

Thanks for the feedback. I have been to Simply Sports Cars for some other work and willtalk to them. Cremorne Prestige was also mentioned, but have had mixed comments about them.

Hello Everyone, My V8 might be due for a belt change at some stage. Is this a big exercise? I have heard you need special tools, so do I need to go to a Lotus workshop? If yes who would you recommend? I am in Sydney, Australia. Thanks in advance.

Hello Michael, Yes it was. I had looked at it must be 4 years ago now, didn't buy it and was kicking myself until it came up for sale again.

Thanks John, I wouldn't want to wait 9 months though. I can't seem to find any company that has one in stock so the only alternative is to have it welded.

Hello Simon, I have had it for about 18 months. Used to be owned by a guy in Queensland. Anthony, I need to get the front bumper resprayed because of stone chips. Then I could do the silicone polish or this plastics wrap thing. Won't do this before the Lotus get together in Adelaide in October though. Regards Robert

No, I have had the car for a while. Someone at the monthly Lotus Meeting yesterday in Sydney told me about the forum so I found it and joined. Topic is basically the same anyway.

Hello Everyone, I have just had the front left lower wishbone break at the weld of the front tube to the main structure. My question is it weldable and is that advisable? I have tried to source a new one, but have had no luck. Do you know if someone has one for sale? Thanks in advance. Regards Robert

Just want to introduce myself. I am from Sydney and drive a Esprit V8. Regards Robert
