Great value upgrade that. Power/weight jumping from a healthy 227 to more like 282 bhp/tonne. 8-)

No turning back now. Just keep going. Slowly. Feather that go pedal. 6 miles feels a lot further at low speed, with “Low Range” messages bonging at you every minute or so.

“Yes I know”. :roll:

“Yes, I KNOW”. :|

“YES I CHUFFING KNOW!” :evil:

i had a few hours of fettling today on the Lotus. I had a little list of stuff:

- reattach the battery where i’d disconnected it and fit a new cable for my ctek after the old one snapped.

- sort out the handbrake light. there’s a little lever which i presume had broken off that presses a button to turn the light off. a new part was £16, but after vat and postage worked out at £40. So as a medium term temp solution, i just hot-glued a lolly stick to the side of the lever. It’ll be covered by the shroud anyway and works perfectly. I’ll order the switch when i order some other stuff so i can share the postage costs.

- then i fitted seat belts because the harnesses were a faff on normal roads. i didn’t quite realise how simple/quick this would be.

- i decided i’d try wrapping the upper dashboard trims in alcantara-a-like, they were scratched and always looked scruffy. I’m not 100% on the results, but it didn’t take long and cost about a tenner. i’ll see how i feel about it - i can always take it off and try something else (repaint/wrap).

- now i need to get it MOTd again and back into service.
