Theo,
Can't hurt, but I suspect Lotus are well aware of those issues.
And for the record, I do love the S260 -- because I point out issues with the Lotus engine please don't read that as I don't like my car, or the S260, hell if the Evora S comes out I might even sell my S for one
So I hope I'm not coming out as too negative on Lotus, I'm really just trying to point out a few issues that really could make this car better for all. As I've said before, I got no issues with the CYA warranty.
