[Service #8 Drop-off] June 2, 2008 - 17,012 documented miles
I dropped off the car today at
Lotus Beverly Hills for the recurring Check-Engine Light issue and an oil change....
[Service #8 Pick-up] June 9, 2008 - 17,019 documented miles
Lotus USA and Lotus UK got involved with the recurring Check-Engine Light (MIL) issue. They replaced the O2 sensors and another cat.
While the car was in the service, I got another oil change (which I get every 5-6k miles, rather than 7.5 miles). Also Stephen found nails in my rear tires so I had to get new rear tires. Allen gave me really good deals and freebies so I was very happy.
All the services since new
