First the floor mats...I have never seen a situation where it is so damn difficult to get factory floor mats for a car...but finally I got a call from Criswell parts fellow (he handles Lotus and Corvette..how convenient that I only have to go to one person for both cars
) saying that Lotus has told him the floor mats are within a week of being shipped out...these mats better whistle Dixie when placed
Now to service advisories...prior to taking the Elise in for the 1000 mile service I wanted an updated of two issues:
-AC starting cold and then dropping to barely cool: Lotus officially recognizes there is a design problem and as of yet do not have a fix...working on it. Good that cool weather is upon us although we didn't have it as bad as you Elise drivers way down south and into Texas.
-Shift light flickering: again Lotus officially recognizes there is a problem but as of yet do not have a fix. Flickering is just an irritant and I assume the shift light works for what it is supposed to do..have not taken Elise into that rpm range to activitate it..but now with a 1K+ miles me thinks it is time to give it a shot
As an aside...continue to love the Porterfield pads...no squeaks, excellent braking and bite and of course a fraction of the dust...they got it all...better performance and low dust!
That's it for now...
