If you want to preserve your perfect service
history, you should ignore this page and let your Lotus Carlton approved main dealer
supply your parts. If you are fed up with paying their prices or labour rates, and want to
do the work yourself, then this is for you. The prices I quote are those I was charged by
Vauxhall last time I bought them in July 1999. Some of the parts, especially the oils, are
available elsewhere at much lower prices.

Engine
Oil. P/n 90393471 This should be Elf Competition 20W50, and nothing else will do.
The last time I bought some it was £3.40 a litre, and you need 8 litres to be safe.
Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find a supplier for this other than Vauxhall, but
since it isn't that expensive, it's probably not worth looking elsewhere anyway. |

Oil
Filter. P/n 25011122. costs about £20 |
|
Air
Filter P/n 25062406 costs about £20 |
|
Fuel
Filter P/n 90393166 costs about £25 |
|
Charge
Cooler Water Impeller P/n 90393267 costs about £30 |
|
Gearbox
Oil P/n 90393527 costs £15 per litre, three liters required. This oil is
actually ordinary Castrol RS 10W60 synthetic engine oil, and its a lot cheaper to buy it
elsewhere. A 4 litre can from Halfords is a hell of a lot cheaper than 3 single litre
bottles from Vauxhall. |
|
Rear
Differential Oil P/n 90393473 costs about £20 per litre, two litres required.
This oil is actually Mobil Mobilube SH C 80W140 ID, and so it is probably available
elsewhere. |
|
Spark
Plugs P/n 90393137 cost about £2 each, and six are required. These are NGK BK 6
E, which are probably available elsewhere. |
