	There are three elements to the ~~heater~~ in the Elise S2 with electrical controls. One of the most common problems is the loss of temperature control. This is usually because Lotus used a small motor (actuator) to open/close a flap in the heater unit which is prone to rain water ingress and failure. Some people have been able to lube/oil/WD40 the flap which the actuator moves and restore control again but usually the actuator will need replacing.

			==Heater modification to prevent grit from being sprayed onto the dash==

			You will need:
			1 used stocking. 10 denier is best for optimum fan performance. Higher deniers can reduce air flow too much. Lace top optional.

			Difficulty: Very, Very easy.

			Directions
			1. Open the front service compartment

			2. Remove air hose

			3. Stretch stocking over air hose

			4. Refit air hose.

			Remember to replace or adjust the stocking annually, or when you notice a drop in airflow.
