richard100 started following Esprit s1 1978 wiper motor
-
My wiper motor has been found to be the cause of electrical malfunction in my car causing fuses etc... to blow. Sourcing a replaceable wiper motor is proving difficult? My lotus specialist says that it is a unique specialist part but I wonder if anyone has fitted a wiper motor from an Austin/rover/Land Rover? Or even rebuild the motor? Only Lucas one I can find is £300 on eBay which seems a bit excessive!

Dashboard switches

I am looking for a switch (the panel switch) that go on by the speedo etc... anyone know where I can get one? -
Ok ..So outdoor carcoons....Who can recommend a reasonably priced one for the Esprit?
-
Why would that be?

My 1978 s1 esprit is coming home after 6 years of slow restoration...I am building a car port for it but would like advice on whether this will be good enough? I have a cheapish cover for it and obviously want as little damp as possible to get in... How often do other s1 owners find they experience problems when they are driving? I know these early models from reputation seem very unreliable!

Just returned to the forum after a few years in the lotus wilderness! Some great pics Paul...love the orange paintwork on jons car... Good to see some progress! Mine is back in the garage (post wedding party drive... See pics I've put up on picture thread... It's due out again now the weather is good. It's the dampness that affects these cars...to all those s1 owners who have their cars on the road... Just how often do they go wrong?!

My S1 last year... And another...

Cheers Gav....I'll pursue with your advice....will post pics of my car shortly The first pic has a motif on and usual Esprit buttons were plain black...? so presuming this one couldn't be used... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/lucas-NOS-39463-159SA-light-switch-fits-MORRIS-MARINA-/230574603287?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item35af513c17 panel switch may be possible? May just be easier to use sj sports buttons ....just seems so expensive along with the rest of the car!! http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/lucas-NOS-39831-159SA-panel-switch-fits-MORRIS-MARINA-/300491380686?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item45f6ae97ce
