Hi All Just wondering if someone could clarify whether one of my relays is missing on my 1990 Esprit - I think it might be, as a few of the electrics aren't working - see attached photo Thanks John

Hi all, I am new to the group here. I am eager to be more active in this community. I have a 1979 S2 that has been covered and in garaged storage for around a decade. It was running fine when parked. I am looking to bring it out and get it on the road again. What sort of maintenance would you recommend before starting it up for the first time? I was planning to change the fluids and possibly replace the timing belt, but I wanted to ask the experts here what they would do in that situation. What are some key problem areas to watch out for? What would you replace/check while doing the timing belt? Thanks, Shah Selbe

Just have to call out whoever created that lotusproject.co.uk site - they did an excellent job, this is a heck of a resource, even for us Esprit wannabees! Thank you to whomever created this.

Thank you all for your feedback. What a great community. I thought I had already sent this message, but I haven't seen it come through, so maybe something happened there. @Jim: to answer your question, I am located in Long Beach (CA) but only recently came here from LA. I bought the car in Los Angeles way back in 2005. It was painted grey by one of the previous owners but I believe it was originally white. The car is number 752H (I think that is correct; it is the last three numbers and letter on the "Unit Number" line on the plate in the car). If anyone knows any history or past owners of the car, I would love to learn more. Thanks, Shah Virus-free.www.avg.com

Hi Guys I'm currently in the process of refurbishing the interior of the S3 (1990) and when I removed the centre console I found that someone had left 4 loose wires - see photo - does anyone know to what they should be connected? The unconnected wires are - Large gauge Green & a Black Smaller gauge black & a purple/black Many thanks John

Hi All Just trying to reinstate the rear screen heater. There is a wire haging lose and I'm wondering where it should be connected. When I press the dash switch there is power getting to the element! Hope the photos help Many thanks John

Season's greetings to the community! Amongst the trappings taken off my S2 long years ago, before I'd any idea of how the restoration would take so much time, I've found an unfamiliar piece. Having no photo record from which to place this I'm asking for help in where and how this was located. Looks to me like it conforms to the aft arc of a rear wheelarch, outer reaches of the boot. 3 hex head capscrews visible retain bent steel tabs on its backside, no idea what they're for. Pic attached. Cheers Steve

Hi All Can I pick the group brains please.....see attached photos of the dash area. Can you tell what the missing dial is (right top) and maybe where I can get a replacement? What is the loose pipe and where should it be attached to? I promise to stop asking questions soon Thanks John

Hi All I've been a Lotus man since my late teens which was quite some time ago now. In fact I had and still have a Elan +2 and during Covid have bought and restored an Elan S4, Elan Sprint and a TC Europa but as I've always loved and wanted an Esprit I ended up buying one at auction last week.It really is lovely and will only need some,hopefully minor work! I wonder if someone can can tell me the exact model I've bought? Its a naturally aspirated 2174 cc 1990 Esprit - a couple of photos attached. Thanks in advance John

Hello folks, Presently in the process of checking my wiring creation up front of my S2 I discovered something odd on one of the headlamp lift motors. The first motor tried has the expected regulator screw/nut setup, whereas #2 motor has a plain capscrew. I must suspect the PO had changed one of the motors at some point but by what means is the 2nd motor regulated?

?Trying to get it close to Factory, so which one is it? Thanks Gordon.

Having issues with my wiper switch. Since I have had the car, the wiper has never worked. Today i decided to get serious with electrical, and cleaned every switch on the dash by taking them apart, decalcifying the grime and buffing then regreasing with a thin layer of dielectric grease and reassemblying. Now they all work great. I I then took off my wiper switch to inspect it. The end is busted off.I have checked with RD enterprises and they dont have one. SJS says they do not have one either. I tried lucas's classic website but cannot one one. I just need to talk to jae then. My question is, apparently these switches suck anyway from what I have read on some older forum posts. Are there any plug and play options for our cars? Photo attached.

It looks to me like the federal rear bumper, oh I got to stop myself. I’ve got a replacement bumper because I believe they were vinyl covered? Originally. So did the vinyl have texture, so that I would texture the replacement ABS shell that I’m using?. And then for the plinth which is the back up, angled piece that supports the bumper to the car, it looks like that should not have texture, and just be like a matte black? And the same for the front bumper?, Thanks, Gordon
