Does anyone have a full list of TSB's/recalls? TSB is too short to be searched on and the Lotus Tech Info site doesn't have them.

Thanks

this is my personal list, i make no claims to its accuracy or availability of the documents outside a dealership which is where you'd have to go to get most of them.

This covers a lot of different models and not all of them will apply, since they're MY and regional, some are just informational.

2007/08 Class 2 Supercharged Exige S stalling on coast down (USA Exige S). 10.04.07

what's this all about? a fix for the stalling?

 

[charliex]

It helped a lot of people, but didn't solve it for everyone, but if you're suffering excessive stalling on coast down, it'll help, its the C129 program for the Exige S. (Actually i think it was the B129 which has been since replaced with the C129)

 

[Noizemaker]

Is there a resource to read the contents/fixes in these TSBs by chance?

 

[EliseAtLeast]

this is my personal list

Thanks Charlie. This is useful.

 

[Benjamin]

+1 / Thanks Charlie - Once again your posts have proven enlightening. I am curious - has Lotus ever contacted you about joining their company? You have served as a tremendous resource for the North American community.

 

[buzzy]

Thanks Charlie - useful stuff.

 

[XtinctElise]

Where are the Technical Service Bulletins?

Do we have more current list of TSBs and perhaps the full details? Its like searching for a pot of gold trying to find them.
