Oil pan ( sump ) screws torque? 2005 Elise

$

I have searched the manual and this forum.

I can't find a torque value for the machine screws that hold the stock oil pan to the block on my 2005 Elise.

Is there a graphic torque chart in the shop manual that is immune to searches?

Anyhow, what's the torque?

an Esprit on bump roads

I'm planning to get my first Esprit soon (S3) and was wondering if anyone had any experience with the shocks and struts wearing quickly on rough roads. I live in Atlanta and the roads are complete ****. Does anyone have any suggestions on preventative measures other than changing things often? Hoping to avoid some teeth chattering.

Exige S fluid leak

$
0
0
I have a 2007 Exige S and I'm trying to identify a small fluid drip from the underside of the car near the front driver side wheel...near the radiator. I changed the oil today and the undercarriage tray did not show any signs of trouble. However, I do tend to have to add antifreeze after it has been sitting for a while. I garage it in the winter and the antifreeze reservoir is typically near the bottom in the spring.

When I look under the front, it appears that it could be migrating from somewhere else, but I doubt all the way from the engine. The underside of the car near where the drip ultimately falls appear to be wet as well. I cannot tell what type of fluid it is. It's slippery, but isn't thick like oil. It appear to be clear or at least translucent. After test driving the car post-oil change, there were a couple drips on the garage floor after ~30min. Nothing more in the last couple hours. The car had been sitting for the winter. When I moved it to change the oil, there was some evidence of a small leak while it sat.

Any suggestions? What are the possibilities of fluid leaking in the front half of the car? What would be the best way to look at the radiator area? Is there a panel on the top that I could remove, or do I need to get at it from underneath?

Thanks,
Mike

I'm always looking for Lotus Ltd. members to lead events. No event is too small. Contact me if interested.
Your Lotus Ltd. membership must be current for events (typically drives) restricted to Lotus Ltd. members.

V8 Transmission 2nd gear disappeared

I own a 2004 FE Esprit. Totally stock with 24,000 miles.
2nd gear just disappeared. Normal low speed acceleration from 1st to 2nd then to third. Upon returning to 2nd, the transmission just free wheeled. There was absolutely no noise or report of any kind. All other gears work fine and the linkage appears to function properly.
Any thoughts?
What is involved in removing the engine and transmission to take a look inside?
What are my options?

Thanks for your help.

Up for sale is my hard top from my phantom black 2008 Lotus Elise SC. Great condition. Headliner does sag a bit but can be fixed for about $100 if the small sagging bothers you. I'll take any fair offers to get it out locally. This roof also has the extra hardware that holds it down in the rear for extra safety.
