Hmmmm it is almost worth buying a pair with an eye to making a future fast-buck at the expense of some desperate Elaner......

Candles,

off topic but do you know if the Motor World in Grantham sells Edge 10W/60?

only ask as it isn't the easiest to find on hi street but they sell it on line.

They begin as grapes, and it's up to women to stomp the sh * t out of them until they turn into something acceptable to have dinner with.

Apologies for jumping straight into this thread unanounced

Postby RufusRuffcutt » Thu 22.05.2008, 15:10

Hi all,

Apologies, I was going to do the whole introduction bit but have been lurking for a couple of weeks doing lots of valuable research to help me find a good Elan. (Hopefully going to see a "good one" this evening)

But I came across this thread and am sure that once I do find the car of my dreams I will at some stage be needing a set of lower arms so if there's a spare set from your initial production run please count me in and let me know where I need to send funds

If I make a purchase this evening I promise I'll do the right thing and introduce it (and myself) to you all :-)

Just quickly browsing through the service manual I noticed a caution about replacing rear suspension components and the need to know which chassis specification your car is - re Anti-Lift Angle (section DD page 8 )

Probably been covered already I guess :?
