Help!

Despite everything I still need help on a number of items too.  Any comments or suggestions please to Ian at lotus75@btconnect.com 

 

  1. Ride height: does anyone know what the correct ride height measurements should be?  The manual is OK on the front, but appears wrong for the rear.  My car rides about 1" higher than everybody else's, and although there is a small discrepancy in the position of the spring bases due to the SPAX shox, it still seems very high.  The springs are all original and the only part missing is the a/c compressor.  I know its very heavy, but even this cannot account for the problem.

Answers so far:  The rubber pads under the springs were available in two thicknesses.  I don't know yet which I have, but the Elite/Eclat appears to have been given a higher ride height for certain markets.

  1. Air con: What do other owners do with these old systems?  Retain the original parts and use the old CFC gases, or switch gases, in which case what other components in the system do you have to change?
