thanks for the help guys. Ive called everybody (Hendy, Bell & Colvill etc) but I think the simple answer is, Lotus just don't have any windows in the country. no-body can source one at the moment.... I'm STILL waiting for an ETA. it's xmas next week and I can't believe I can't drive my car to...

please tell me more! when was this repair done? who did the repair? I'm still waiting! it's been 5 weeks now and I've still not got a date for the replacement window to be fitted :-( have been on the phone to Lotus customer care every few days but still no ETA...

Stiill waiting for a replacement window.. this is becoming unbelievable now

Another update... I spoke with Lotus yesterday, and they have had no stock in the UK for the replacement.. but more are due to land on Friday.. so perhaps I'll get the repair mid-next week... so all in all thats about 18-20 days wait for the window to be replaced.. can't drive the car whilst its...

So a little update on this guys.. hope this is helpful. My insurer (Admiral) are being really good about this. Looks like I'll only pay £115 to have the thing repaired. (Cost without insurance was roughly quoted to be £1200). However, the window a rare part even in the UK and it seems like...

Sadly i came back to my car today (left in an official city run carpark) and the driver side window has been toally smashed in by some arsehole. I wondered if anybody has experience replacing the window? I’ve obviously reported this to my insurance and the police but I’m still waiting for...

Really helpful info on this thread, thanks for that. Good timing for me as well because I went to the garage to have the wheel alignment reviewed yesterday, ahead of my next track day. Perhaps it’s helpful for everyone to see what the before and after measurements were from the fancy machine...

It would be lovely to meet you all! I live in Tunbridge Wells so the journey is not that far. However, I wondered what we would do once we met up? Could it be an option that we make the meet up a track day? I’ll be driving at Donnington Park on 28th July and Castle Combe on 2nd September with...

I took mine into the Lotus Kent garage and after a fair bit of customer service friction (they said the parts hadn’t arrived yet) they fitted the rubber isolation cups and the creaks and squeaks from the front suspension have totally stopped 🥳

This is a fantastic write up, thank you :-)

Yeah I’d like to know this too please… going to the garage for some dot 5.1 later this week…

Hi! I see this post is a few years old now but wondered if Admiral were good for adding occasional track days? I have them for the road cover so maybe a good option if you’d recommend?

Not sure what has changed but the creaking noise has stopped… still booked in for a service (thanks to Lotus Kent having 1 month wait times to get an appointment) so probs will get it looked at… maybe there are some scratch marks as mention by the quote from Andy… maybe not?
