Right ok today i had a look at the inlet side of things, in case there is a leak. The laugh is it did square root of f*ck all!
I took it for a drive, and the fucker really did act the goat with the system pressurizing, but after a bit of a run around the block and a bleed, squeeze of the pipes. The car started to behave itself with the coolant system and started to hold itself at the proper operating temperature.
The car still Hunts like hell, when warm. i managed to find a thread on it, on a lotus elise forum. They are pointing at the ecu, something may have bit the dust in side. Something to do with the idle circuity, I do have a replacement ECU and 5AS but the seller didnt give me the matching fobs, just supplied a fob. So that will have to be all sent away to be coded up. So not as plug in play as we all hope.
this is the last option now for the car, if this fails then its game over. I will either just weigh the full lot in and make sure it gets cubed. Or speak to the metro cup lads and say here's a shell for you lads come and get it!
