Gold FFM Escape 773 Posted March 30, 2017 Gold FFM Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 Hi Si, I found a tool roll with only the combination pliers in my Eclat Excel and have the choice to either complete it or simply replace it with another tool kit. Originality is no issue for me. If you want to have a go at completing the set, I'd be happy to let it go. Filip Quote I have made many mistakes in my life. Buying a multiple Lotus is not one of them. Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisJ 1,470 Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 Hi Si - @Lotusfab put together a toolkit for a Turbo Esprit in pretty quick time late last year. Here's the thread where the discussion started - bottom of the page. I can't remember if there was a separate thread about it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jetace25 0 Posted March 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 Thank you for your help. I'll start my hunt this weekend at the NEC. Thank you Filip, I'll be sending you a pm. For anyone who wants to make up an original toolkit for their cars here are some extracts from the early S3 Esprit parts manual. All tools carry the 075 prefix showing they were common to the Type 75 Elite with the exception of the 17mm socket which has a 082 Turbo Esprit code. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
