Stuart Faulds (good grumpy scots guy who helps with the BaTCats) will do stuff for a fee, and if it's just pads, you may be able to get help from people on the day.

Nick, i'd be happy to help. I'm sure lotus rear brakes aren't significantly different from any other car.

Thanks chaps. Much appreciated.
To be honest I rather get done before I leave... the discs could get a little warm on the journey up!
Hopefully will get some time to call the local Lotus specialist tomorrow and leave it with them whilst I am away.
Any ideas what could be wrong? Is there an obvious mistake when changing pads that would make them stick?
Note the new pads are mintex from elise parts.

Mark, got a direct email for Jonny?
I cancelled my tyre order for the S as I had a large bolt in one this week - hence two fitted locally today.
I did a Paypal I think, but didnt know the returns/refunds process etc.
Cheers,
Steve.
