So far nobody has managed to tell me who the companies were, anybody know? Or do you know if some were done in the factory? Either way anybody got any idea where & how I can find out who made mine in to a DHC. All the V5 says that its an Elan +2s, rigid axle body.

"The Lotus Esprit does not come fitted with a Dump Valve for the turbo. This is unusual because, especially in high boost applications, the back pressure caused by lifting off the throttle can cause the compressor of the turbo to stall. In extreme cases, the compressor can actually shatter. After a dump valve is fitted, you will notice an immediate ...

On the first day of use, after 100 miles, the engine developed a loud, intrusive tapping sound. The engine power is fine (read: excellent!) and otherwise also sounds great. It's just this tapping sound which I know is not right at all. I'm an engineer by ...
