    1.8k wont start after engine swap

    Finally got it started it was a fuel issue. But now I have a new problem after leaving it overnight it seems to have developed an electrical fault, when I turn the ignition key to the first stage the dash lights come on but when I turn it all the way all the lights go out and nothing happens.

    1.8k wont start after engine swap

    Hi guys it is the standard 1.8 not vvc, the reason the guy removed it from his elise was so he could upgrade to a vvc, it has the plastic manifold the same as my old one. The only difference I can see is that the injectors are a different color to the land rover ones.

    Elise Engine

    Its just the standard 1.8 118bhp from a S1 elise, the reason the engine is available is because he has swapped his for a vvc, so fingers crossed it will do the job.

    Elise Engine

    thats what I was hoping for, it seems to good to miss low miles with history and has had the uprated head gasket done by lotus specialist.

    Hi guys I have finally decided to sort out the dead freelander ( cam belt tensioner collapsed and wrote off engine). I have been offered a 1.8 lotus elise engine with low mileage and service history, what I want to know is is it just a case of drop it in and go or do I have to swap...
