Are you in the UK that looks like an S1 with right hand drive and a Rover engine ? - you might have better results with tips on local parts sources /repairs posting on seloc the main UK Lotus site we don't see many of those over here in the US !

Although its a general engine problem, you may have better luck on SELOC | Lotus Enthusiasts Club . This site is mostly US (federal) S2 elises.
Seloc is full of other S1, 111S and 111R owners
