ads_green 12 Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 From the manual: To enable this feature, turn on the ignition (but engine off) and hold the Traction Control 'off' button pressed for 2 seconds. Check that the tell tale in the switch button is lit. Then; Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ALC 63 0 Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 - I installed the higher windscreen now - it is for taller people (I am 1,86) a big advantage Ralf, I have seen the high windscreen option in the Lotus 2-Eleven brochure, but I have never seen one with this installed. Could you post some pictures of the car with that installed? Vielen Danken, ciao P.S. enjoy the car Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Vielen Danken, ciao P.S. enjoy the car If you look at the pictures of my car in the Owners garage there is a picture with the taller screen fitted. Paul Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ALC 63 0 Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 Thanks Paul. So the size of the "taller" screen is pretty much that of an UK Tax disc. I was expecting something taller, say the size of the perspex screen of the original Lotus Eleven. This car is truly mental... Ralf, look forward your pictures either. BTW - might be wrong, but it looks to me that most of the 2-Elevn are thus equipped with the "taller" screen, aren' t they? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pgn340r 22 Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 (edited) No, road going 2 eleven's have the standard screen. This apparantly is the tallest that was allowed in order to pass the SVA test for type approval. The new "taller" screen is only 2.5cm higher but makes a difference in that in reduces some of the bufferting at speed. Paul Edited April 29, 2009 by pgn340r Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ALC 63 0 Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 Thank you Paul, I'm surprised of the difference between the screens, but I bow to your direct experience. On the other hand I gave up to understand rules for SVA... Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ads_green 12 Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 According to the SVA any higher and I think the screen would need to have wipers! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ALC 63 0 Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 (edited) Wipers, demister on a 2-Eleven? Thee people reaaaly think rubbish. We have to cheer still do exist car makers, like Lotus, producing cars and not super-safe "appliances". Cheers ALC 63 Edited April 30, 2009 by ALC 63 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

[email protected] 1 Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 Not sure the lead is long enough - after all the pimpmobile is so much faster than the 2-11 Wipers, demister on a 2-Eleven?

pgn340r 22 Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 Still seems crazy that even the taller wind deflector which of not strictly road legal could possibly need wipers anyway. Comments Jo !!! Guess rules are rules though however crass. Paul Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest bruh_la Posted May 2, 2009 Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 SVA rules say that if you look THROUGH a screen it has to be cleaned by wipers and has to have a demisting capability... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ALC 63 0 Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 This is the bottom line I guess. Ralf, sorry for having steered the thread in a totally different direction - still grinning I guess? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
