As vehicles age, parts will wear out and fail. Not matter who manufactures it. But the Lotus Esprit is cooler than all other cars on the road, so that's the difference.

Thank you for detailing these issues on your car. I’ve recently decided the Esprit is my dream EV conversion car and these types of things are great to know about as I search them in the USA.

The exact same motor was used in the Pontiac Fiero popup headlights.

The only good thing about Esprit is look. Another good looking car is Porsche

I saw a similar car this weekend and your valuation is spot on -;)

And again a cheap fix with parts from a Fiero. Luckily you don,t drive an au weh. Das ist immer teuer. I,t's a shame you have the delco morraine brakes. This is giving always problems.

Does your mechanic have any other pressure switches? I have an S4S here in the states and can’t find one anywhere. I would love to ship one out here

Use steel balls instead of the plastic ones. Lotus Holland does also. Never had problems anymore!
