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.<br />
<br />
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. The part number for the indicator stalk with the cruise control switch (S2 and S3) is 9181011.<br />
<br />
I was able to obtain the OEM (Bilstein from Germany) part in July 2014 from www.VauxhallWorldParts.com for £16, inc VAT & UK postage. The part is the same for both the S1 and S2.<br />

<br />
Firstly you need to remove the cowling around the steering wheel.<br />
<br />
You might want to clean up a little in here, the picture shows nearly 8 years or crud.<br />
<br />
[[Image:CowlingOff.jpg]]<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
[[Image:IndicatorClips.jpg]]<br />
<br />
The cables can be prized off the rear, usually in two culsters, again press the clips to ease them out.<br />
<br />
[[Image:IndicatorCluster.jpg]]<br />
<br />
Plug the cables in the new unit and slide home into the housing.<br />
<br />
TEST IT WORKS.<br />
<br />
If all is working refit the cowling.<br />

Ever wanted variable intermittent on your wipers? Ever get annoyed that every time you wash the screen, the wipers smear it 4 times? Well you can fix both of these things by changing the wash/wipe relay. Also applies to Exige V6.<br />
<br />
== Sourcing the improved relay ==<br />
Various part numbers have been put forward as replacements. Obtaining new relays is possible but the majority can be found from the local breakers yard:<br />
* Beru: 0 900 301 082<br />
* Kostal: 377 955 531<br />
* Bosch: 0 986 335 058<br />
* VW: 3B0955531 ................. has 197 printed on the top, info from Audi/VW dealer - replaces VW: 357 955 531 (type 99 below)<br />
* www.gsfcarparts.com pt no 93610<br />
* OPEL 12 38 550<br />
* SAAB 85 53 463<br />
* VW 191 955 531 ................. believed to be the standard type 19 relay<br />
* VW 357 955 531 ................. the type 99 relay<br />
* VW 321 955 531 A ............... (sourced one from theairflowmetercompany on ebay and it didnt do anything different, had no VW logo, just part number and circuit diagram printed on it, possibly a duff clone)<br />
* LIEBHERR 1 001 443 3<br />
* JOHN DEERE AZ 49 989<br />
* HAKO 90-35730-2<br />
* KRAMER 100 010 51 46<br />
* HYMER 0416073<br />
* Hella 5WG 003 620-021<br />
* '''Use these part numbers at your own risk!'''<br />
* '''Some certainly aren't quite the correct relays, some are!!'''<br />
<br />
=== MK3 Golf ===<br />
[[Image:Golfmk3.jpg|thumb|100px|left|Mk3 Golf]]<br />
One of the replacement relays '''known''' to work is from the MK3 Golf.<br />
<br />
'''VW part no. 3B0955531 works, has 197 printed on top. Costs £30.97+VAT new.'''<br />
<br />
Going price from a breakers yard is around £5. Most breakers yards will have a number of Mk3 golfs, and the correct relay can also be found in lots of different VWs (usually the higher spec cars) dating from the mid '90s. In the golf, the relays (and fuses) are behind a plastic panel under the steering wheel, above the drivers footwell. You can just pull the relay out.<br />
<br />
There are two common relays you'll find in the cars. The '''WRONG''' one has the number '19' printed on the top of it in big white numbers. This is really no different from the original lotus relay, and no upgrade at all. The '''CORRECT''' relay has the number '99' or '197' printed on it. This is what you need to find. The '99' or '197' relay is usually found in higher spec cars, and the '19' relay in lower spec cars.<br />
<br />
== Fitment ==<br />
[[Image:relay.jpg|thumb|left|New relay in place in the Elise, looking up from the footwell]]<br />
The relay is situated up underneath the dashboard in the passenger footwell of the Elise. It takes approximately 30 seconds to change it, no tools required, although some gymnastic ability is helpful!<br />
<br />
To fit it, you need to get your head down into the footwell looking up at the back of the dash-front. Up there (as shown above) are a couple of relays. Pull out the one which looks the right shape, and check that the pin pattern is the same. Push in the '99' relay and the job's done.<br />
<br />
Now when you wash the screen, it'll wipe just twice, and you'll have variable intermittent.<br />
<br />
To use the Variable intermittent, flick the wiper stalk to wipe the screen once. Then wait for period of time "x" and put the stalk to intermittent setting. The intermittent delay between wipes will now be "x".<br />
Easy.<br />

== WARNING - TURNING THE S2 REAR ADJUSTER IN TOO FAR CAN CRACK THE DOOR SKIN!!! ==<br />

===S2 Window Adjustment===<br />
<br />
The S2 windows can need adjusting now and then.<br />
<br />
First of all ensure the softtop or hardtop is fitted correctly.<br />
<br />
The following pictures and details are for a 2001 Elise - may be different for more recent or US models.<br />
<br />
[[image:Door card.jpg]]<br />
<br />
In the picture above the red arrows indicate the adjusters for window tilt towards/away from the roof. They adjust the bottom of the window runners inwards/outwards, thus causing the top of the window to adjust out/in from the roof. These can be adjusted without removing the door card. Clockwise turns press the window tighter against the seal when up.<br />
<br />
Important note: take great care not to over-tighten this screw as there are a number of examples of owners finding the screw has pushed through the door skin and caused cracking on the outside paintwork!<br />
<br><br><br><br />
If you want to adjust the height of the window at the front/back of the window then the door card must be removed. Undo the fasteners indicated by the green arrows in the above picture. The lower mid and rear sections of the card are held on by velcro, and just pull away after the other fasteners are removed. Replace the window winder, as you'll probably need to move the window up and down whilst adjusting.<br />
<br />
[[image:Door Inner.jpg]]<br />
<br />
In the picture above the blue arrows indicate the adjusters for window height and tilt. Loosen them both a little with an 8mm socket, and move them up and down to adjust height and tilt of the window.<br />
<br />
There is apparently an adjuster at the position marked by the orange arrow to move the window forwards/backwards, but I am unable to locate it on my car. Perhaps the upper trim needs to be removed.<br />
<br />

[[image:0011.JPG|thumb|left|Electric window bumpstop]]<br />
<br />
Cars with electric windows are a little different. Glass height is determined by the position of an adjustable stop which is accessible behind the plastic membrane at the top of the access aperture.<br />
To adjust the stop, use a 10 mm spanner to release the lock nut. This is best done with the window fully up as the stop will be held tight by the window mechanism.<br />
Once the lock nut is released, wind the window down a little and using fingers, screw the stop in or out as required. Once correctly adjusted, nip up the lock nut.<br />
