Hello Great Britain,
I just bought my green Elan from '92 ( I had before a red one) and although I don't have any problem with CAS I would like to buy one as spare! Just in case...
I live in Portugal and the Lotus dealer here is extremely expensive! Can anyone tell me where in the Uk I can order it? and for what price?
Greetings from sunny algarve!

I am not sure if you have Isuzu over there but it might be cheaper if you get one from Isuzu dealer if avalible.

Unfortunately We have only Isuzu trucks! But thank you anyway!

Th component inside the CAS which is likely to need replacement is the Hall Effect Sensor.
If you phone Nick Whale 0044 121 445 3020 (ask for Ian Garret) and explain that you want the Sensor from the January Aftersales List, you should pay £!9.98 plus postage to Portugal.

Thank you for the hint! I used to work on classic cars so I suppose it will not be difficult to assemble the sensor!

I used to work on classic cars, too - but nothing prepared me for working on the Elan!!

I found the CAS here in the states very easily (and fairly inexpensively) by looking it up as an Isuzu part on:
http://www.partsvoice.com/partsvoice/index.cgi
I would assume that a parts dealer would not mind shipping to Portugal- for an extra fee, of course... Also- if you are trying to get in touch with him, Ian is out of the office until the 21st IIRC.

Are you saying it's that difficult? What about lancia's zagato, flaminia, gamma, matras, tr3, alfas e.t.c.? Maybe not with complicated electronics but what you think about dell'ortos and webbers? And complete overhaul of the boxer engines from the lancia gamma?!!!

Yesterday I already phoned Ian but they could not tell me when he would be back! Now I know and wait till the 21st! Thanks!

Off course it was a joke! This is my second elan and I know wat is having troubles with it and having to drive 600km to fix it by a dealer that asks exorbitant amouts of money for routine reparations! So I'm going to do my homework and study all the Elan's manuals to enjoy relax this wonderful car! regards!!!
