Fire extinquisher mounting

2014-06-06T11:49:31Z

Ben:

Just don't mount it in the footwell...

''Originally posted by MartynL''

When I got my first Elise a decade ago, it had a fire extinguisher bolted to the footrest in the passenger foot well.

I never really though about the possible, disastrous consequences at the time. What followed was a terrible, terrible scene - one which we can all learn from.

I'd pulled up at some lights on the coast road in Jesmond, Newcastle, on the way home from an excellent day at York races. I'd taken my then girlfriend: a tall leggy, fit brunette lass, into the 'posh bit' of the grandstand as a bit of a surprise - she was one of those well spoken, horsey types, and a day at the races meant her knicker elastic was loosening from the moment I picked her up that morning. Quite a catch for a cheeky northern monkey like me.

After she'd somehow snoozed most of the way back up the A1 with the roof off the car and the constant drone of the exhaust. she bathed in the last rays of summer sunshine.

I came to a stop at the traffic lights only about half a mile from home and I was looking forward to the reward that awaited... :wub As I blipped the throttle as we pulled away, she awoke from her slumber. Her long tanned, slender legs stretched out from beneath her posh frock...

..and then SHE FUCKING SET OFF THE FIRE EXTINGUISHER in the foot well with her ridiculous, strappy 6 inch Italian heels.

The ENTIRE cabin filled with white powder, my best suit ruined, and the car was a complete, awful, dust covered mess. She was leaning out the passenger side window, gasping for breath, and the Porker driver next to me was pissing his pants... I was not happy.

We split up shortly after that. I didn't get my end away that night :v6 Such a waste of investment.

Take your fire extinguishers out of your foot well. It can have potentially disastrous ramifications.

Ben: /* Baby Seats - Group 0 (-9 months) */

[[Category:Lotus Elise]] [[Category:S1]] [[Category:S2]] [[Category:Lotus Europa]] [[Category: Safety]]
==== Children in a Lotus ====

Having a kid does not necessary mean the end of Lotus ownership. Many owners have kids and regularly take them out in the Lotus.

There are many makes of seats for all ages that fit the Elise, although none of the factory fitted seats have IsoFix fitments so child seats must be belt fitted.

There's a vast choice of child seats available and also a lot of variations in the Elise seat design/padding over the years the car has been manufactured - so try before you buy.

==== Child Seat Safety Law ====
Whatever you buy make sure it complies with the up-to-date Child Seat Safety Law
http://www.thinkroadsafety.gov.uk/campaigns/childcarseats/childcarseats.htm

==== Child Seat Types ====
http://www.childcarseats.org.uk/types/index.htm

The following seats have been found to fit various Elise/Exige seats and provide a good starting point for the test fitting trip to Halfords or Mothercare.

==== Baby Seats - Group 0 (-9 months) ====
*Maxicosi Cabrio
*Brittax rockatot
*Mamas and Papas Primo Viaggio SIP (without base)
*Jane Travel System car seat
[[Image:P1030003.JPG]]
Jane Travel System car seat

==== Child Seats Group 1 (9 months - 4 years) ====
*Maxicosi Priory
*Britax Duo
*Maxicosi Tobi
*Mama and Papas Pro-Tec (Fits brilliantly in an S1 with cloth seats)

==== Child Booster Seats Group 2 & 3 (4 years - 11 years)====
*Britax Hi-Liner
*Halfords Michelangelo

==== Push Chair/Buggies ====
You can even get a push chair to fit in the boot of the Elise!
The Quinny Zapp is used by a few owners, and it can also take the Maxicosi Cabrio seat.

[[Image:QuinnyIn.JPG]][[Image:QuinnyOut.JPG]]

The Petite Star Zia is a similar design and fits in the boot of an Elise S2. It also reclines and has a basket underneath, and has a slight price advantage.

*Maxicosi Cabrio
*Brittax rockatot
*Mamas and Papas Primo Viaggio SIP (without base)
*Jane Travel System car seat

The Petite Star Zia is a similar design and fits in the boot of an Elise S2. It also reclines and has a basket underneath, and has a slight price advantage.

==== Children in a Lotus ====

Having a kid does not necessary mean the end of Lotus ownership. Many owners have kids and regularly take them out in the Lotus.

There are many makes of seats for all ages that fit the Elise, although none of the factory fitted seats have IsoFix fitments so child seats must be belt fitted.

There's a vast choice of child seats available and also a lot of variations in the Elise seat design/padding over the years the car has been manufactured - so try before you buy.

==== Child Seat Safety Law ====
Whatever you buy make sure it complies with the up-to-date Child Seat Safety Law

Ben: /* Child Seat Safety Law */

[[Category:Lotus Elise]] [[Category:S1]] [[Category:S2]] [[Category:Lotus Europa]] [[Category: Safety]]
==== Children in a Lotus ====

Having a kid does not necessary mean the end of Lotus ownership. Many owners have kids and regularly take them out in the Lotus.

There are many makes of seats for all ages that fit the Elise, although none of the factory fitted seats have IsoFix fitments so child seats must be belt fitted.

There's a vast choice of child seats available and also a lot of variations in the Elsie seat design/padding over the years the car has been manufactured - so try before you buy.

==== Child Seat Safety Law ====
Whatever you buy make sure it complies with the up-to-date Child Seat Safety Law
http://www.thinkroadsafety.gov.uk/campaigns/childcarseats/childcarseats.htm

The following seats have been found to fit various Elise/Exige seats and provide a good starting point for the test fitting trip to Halfords or Mothercare.

==== Baby Seats - Group 0 (-9 months) ====
*Maxicosi Cabrio

==== Child Seats Group 1 (9 months+) ====
*Maxicosi Priory
*Britax Duo

==== Child Booster Seats ====
*Please edit if you have one

==== Push Chair/Buggies ====
You can even get a push chair to fit on the boot of the Elise!
The Quinny Zapp is used by a few owners. and it can also take the Maxicosi Cabrio seat.

Indicator stalk

2007-06-22T13:46:09Z

Ben:

[[Category:Lotus Elise]][[Category:Electrical]][[Category:S1]][[Category:DIY]]
The indicators taken from the Vauxhall/Opel parts bin eventually give up the ghost. This is first shown when the full beam flash function refuses to work.

The replacement part is Vauxhall/Opel No 9181010 and can be got form any Vauxhall/Opel dealer, although at around £40 plus VAT it's cheaper to buy a new non OEM part for less than £15 on the web or ebay.

[[Image:IndicatorStalk.jpg]]'''Aftermarket part'''

----

Firstly you need to remove the cowling around the steering wheel.

You might want to clean up a little in here, the picture shows nearly 8 years or crud.

[[Image:CowlingOff.jpg]]

Once the cowling is off the indicator stalk can be slid away from the housing by pinching the clips on the top and bottom of the unit.

[[Image:IndicatorClips.jpg]]

The cables can be prized off the rear, usually in two culsters, again press the clips to ease them out.

[[Image:IndicatorCluster.jpg]]

Plug the cables in the new unit and slide home into the housing.

TEST IT WORKS.

If all is working refit the cowling.

Job done.
