Foothills Parkway.......

I think you are right. In my case, they found it hard to tell what stuck the first thermostat. Lotus NA made the call to replace both. Fingers crossed, this was my Lotus glitch. At least I got to wrap codes, updates, 1000 mile service and new car issues all sorted at one time.

Picked mine back up from service Thursday afternoon. Drove 225 miles to get home and the car was flawless. Replacing the pair of thermostats followed by vigorous test drives seems to have done the trick. Time will tell but currently I'm confident in the work that was done to sort this issue out.

3 week update. Both thermostats are being replaced. Then another flush and then a "spirited" drive rest and repeat sequence to make sure everything is all good. It's taken a bit to get the parts and go through the process. Fortunately, i have other cars to play with. Note- if you get the...

Got the word that "thermostat stuck" is the issue. Replacement is the fix. Seems they've had a few of these with this issue. Looks like there are 2-3 updates available- not sure what they are for but happy to hear it all the same.

Check engine light still on the dash when I took the car out this morning. Stopped for an hour appointment and when I started her back up, no check engine light. I have not cleared any codes as it has its service tomorrow. Strangely, the car seemed more responsive, even in tour mode than it...

Speaking with the tech at Gator, he suggested i not try clearing the codes; so I'll just see what they find next week. Did you notice any change in how the car drove?

I picked up that same code this past week. Fortunately, i've got my 1000 mile oil change scheduled for the coming week so i can get it figured out along with other minor issues that need sorting.

I truly love your choice of wheels! I'm very tempted to chase down a set.

WOW! That was really well done! More please.

There's always time to change your mind.......................

Temperatures hit 60F today so it got its 5th run in. 525 miles in.

I'm only half way there. great job!

All autos imported- 25%.

but you kept going as well. You have really good Lotus input. Lets please keep it to that.

Agreed. We're all trying to rationalize a situation we have no control over.

Assuming policy doesn't change early next week, the importer will have to pay the tariff/tax prior to release from customs. Lotus UK won't see that bill as it is the importer on record that gets that hit. The amount would be based on the "cost" of the car at importation prior to any markup...

Based on what you've put out so far, whatever you put together will surely be a hit.

Hopefully Soon? ;)

Thanks for the link. Just placed my order.

it's going to be tough for the next 6 weeks or so until the temps start to cooperate. 10 degrees for the next several days. But at least I can sit and pretend like a kid for a while. Thank you.

14.6 miles. Just got delivered this evening. Has not sunk in yet that I finally got my car.

@freeheelbille, you are much braver than me. What winter tires are you rolling on?

She's ready to come home.

Thanks for the reminder. Looks like I need to re-read past posts and threads for a refresher

Tony and Chandler have both been great. They sent me pics of the car at various stages since Monday to ease my childlike excitement.

Thanks for the tip. I'm going to have Gator sort it. Checked the weather this morning and cold, snow and rain and in the forecast for all next week.

PERFECTO! That's what I'd hoped you would respond with. Paperwork should be sorted today and I'll either drive it home (weather permitting) or get it delivered by trailer(most likely) late next week after prep is complete. It will have to be a garage queen for a few months no matter what but...

I need to know more....... Does it exceed your expectations?

Much respect! I don't trust the drivers around me in winter weather in my neck of the woods. I'm most likely going to get mine trailered(enclosed) home. Hoping for late next week.
