there should be a sight glass on the drier canister under the bonnet you should be able to see the fluid/gas moving if not then you could have a leak! Mine was leaking slowly from the pipe from the drier to the evaporator in the cabin. If you need it recharging you could take it to Merrow tyres in Farnham, i think there near you they can recharge it for you plus they add some dye so you can check for leaks under UV lamp. Martin is a mate of mine so hopefully he'll do you a deal! cheers Andy

Hi all, I was wanting to upgrade my brakes and wondered what other people have done and what they thought? Also the possibility of changing the master cylinder to get more feel and power cheers Andy 96 V8

Troy, Try Marcus at PUK racing http://freudhoefer.de/lotus/esprit/ Thats were i got mine from for a 96 V8 cheers Andy

i had a coil pack replaced on my V8 due to a missfire, the dagnostic machine detected the coils were not firing hence the replacement. It turned out the problem was a short in the wiring loom it had chafed away were it passed by a bulkhead. Maybe a similar short might be causing your fuse to blow. Worth mentioning to you mecchanic. good luck Andy
