S2111S

I guess the alarm activates because the access panel is off. Push down on the switch to see if it stops sounding. Standard Elise batteries won't do well over winter unless on a battery conditioner. Once you have a little bit of charge back in the battery the car should respond to the fob.

Assuming what you've been told is true see if you have a fuse in 22 which is the CDL circuit. It needs a 7.5 amp fuse. If you have one then see if you have wiring and lock actuators in the doors.

Higher. Behind the air vent.

Just pull harder from the bottom. The sealing foam tends to get sticky.

111S has the Rover engine. 111R onwards for Toyota. This will give a good overview until the recommendations start coming in..... https://www.evo.co.uk/lotus/elise/15927/lotus-elise-s2-buying-guide

https://wiki.seloc.org/a/Petrol_Cap This explains the repair should you not want to buy new from Elise Shop. If you scroll to the bottom there's some options for removing the spinning cap.

Probably not but only you can decide. What fault required the change? They did the work so they must know. Make an offer that takes your concerns into account?

For the S2 yes, that's correct.

S2 K Series

Faulty catalytic converter, faulty O2 sensor (there are two) or exhaust leak.

The Elise is an easy daily. The Toyota engine has a simpler service schedule and is considered bullit proof if looked after and the 6200 rpm cam change seems very popular. It carries a price premium. I don't find the K any less reliable if looked after. The K head gasket might fail but it also might not. £500 and half a day by a specialist on your drive and it's good for life. Mileage seems indefinate for either car if looked after and respected. Having driven my K daily for three years I now know that I'd reach 6200 so rarely on public roads that the Toyota would be waste

Walk away if that's all you have to go on. There could be any number of costly problems with it. It needs a professional inspection to answer your question. Try.......

Lotus supplied the Spider wheels in Silver and Hi Power Silver. I think Silver was a change for the 111R due to matching issues with the Hi Power. The Hi Power finish can't usually be matched. Maybe you could do a front and rear and have them on the same side and it wouldn't notice. Probably best just to get all four done. Lotus suggest Specialised Paintwork, 01189 306206.
