Hey all, my car a 78 series 2 has been running finally. Was out driving and after being in the road about 15 minutes suddenly the car starts bucking, and my rpms go nuts. Car dies with a pop and the fuel pump won't prime. Had to get towed. The next day, she cranked, pump did it's thing and she fired right up. Went for a drive around the block after letting it idle 10 mins then same thing, engine starts jerking due to no fuel and it pops then dies. Fuel pump then won't prime or do it's thing. Everything on my car is new minus the pump tbh. So I understand the su pump in the car runs off points and has a req of about 15 gph. Has anyone updated their pump with one of the newer solid state ones so makes? I see moss has them in stock but I will want to call to make sure I can find one that meets the 907s specifications. Has anyone ever updated those fuel pump?

Hey all, I am missing the 2 bolts that go from the transmission to the engine, the main bolts that connect it. The drawings dont say the spec. Does anyone know the length and trhead pitch i need for the 2 at the bottom? I can take a photo if needed. Also I have a leak coming out of where the smaller speedo cable goes. i have a new one from drent but I am not sure how to go about removing the old one. Id liek to get it fixed as it leaks when driiving. Im sure its a seal in there. Looks like an o ring shoudl go on the speedo but I wasnt given one when buying and dont see one on the drawing list. Any help is MUCHO appreciated. Also myc ar runs and drives now woooo

Hi all, Can someone help me with something about the oil coolers on the S2? Do you know the thread that is on both sides of the adapter labeled as "7" in the image below? Also, what are the threads on the oil cooler? Is it 5/8 BSP?

For Sale. White Lotus Esprit S1 207H Project. This is a very original Esprit, white with original tartan interior, that has not been on the road since 1980, it has been under cover since then, with an original 24,031 miles on the clock. When collected the left wheel wobbled when the car was pushed. The cause of the car being left off the road appears to be a broken rear right wheel bearing. Bought as a rolling barn find, I took the body off the chassis at the end of last year (following Bill Galbraith’s process) to reveal that the chassis is in almost perfect condition, light rust only, as seen in the images. Soon after the car arrived, I attached a battery and checked that all the electrics were working which they are save for the head lamp lift motor and reverse lights, as seen in a video I have. The chassis is complete with engine and gearbox in place, radiator, fuel lines and coolant lines all untouched. Project needs a new home as we are selling up and moving back to the UK very soon. Some of you may have noticed that my red Lotus 228H has recently sold on BAT. All smaller parts from the car are labeled in ziplock bags and are boxed, included are several Esprit manuals, parts manual, folders, new suspension parts front and rear and a 907 Healey engine. The body (ready for spraying0 and chassis are currently separated but can be reattached. Car had MA title I have recently applied for a NY title and have a receipt for the application.

Hi Guys I'm a little confused, I had the attached warning light come on and assumed it mean the coolant level was low BUT the running temperature as been fine and the coolant level is upto the top. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance John

So I have been working on getting the S2 roadworthy again and wanted to bring back up the subject of harnesses. The more I dig deeper into this car, the less confidence I have about the wiring decisions of previous owners. The car drove fine when I put it in storage but I have never been this deep into the underpinnings of the car. There are frayed wires, random open wires throughout the engine bay, poor quality connections and wiring work, and general untidiness to the whole harness. All of which scares me quite a lot. I am swapping out the old MSD setup, removing the 1990s alarm system, and cleaning things up generally, so I wanted to hear what the experts here had to say about the following: If you were to undertake a full harness refresh on an early Esprit, what would you consider the gold standard in updates to the wiring? Pretend this is a thought experiment in what should be done. I already have stuff to put in relays for the windows, new Spal fans, and headlights, but want to hear what you have done or would do. A modern fusebox like the ones they put in hotrods? Anything specific?

I remember someone looking for the emission equipment. I have most of the parts and anyone who needs them are welcome to them. Just pay the shipping cost. Just email me. Gene gtlotus@...

The brake lights went out on my S1. Where is the switch? I couldn't find anything in the manual. Do the leads that connect to the brake fluid reservoir cap have anything to do with the lights? Any help would be appreciated, thanks. -- Toaph

I did some digging in the search here but I couldn’t find an exact answer for this. Has anyone ever evaluated what the best tire/rim combination for handling on these early Esprits? I know the tire availability for the 14s are pretty bad, but what would be the best rim widths and offsets (front and back) in both 15-inch and 16-inch (or even staggered) configurations. I love the Speedlines and the BBS-style on the Turbos, but I was curious if anyone had ever played around with different setups to see what was best for handling and tire availability. I would like to find some nice three piece 15-inch wheels but not entirely sure what offset and width would be best. Thanks, Shah
