Ok so I fat fingered the first attempt to post a
reply. Selling my Europa has me all shook up.
Nice post Scott. I am *very* happy to hear that
Rollers have all the same problems as other brit
cars. Wait a minute ... no I am not. I was hoping
that there was a *bc [wild card (;-)] that would
escape the "weird problems" disease.
As to MYROPA. It came back from the machanic
last night. The outer bearing in the left rear
hub carrier was in 3 pieces. We replaced the
bearings and the carrier. Looks like we have a
little previous owner syndrome here. After hot-
tanking the hub we find hammer marks. Looks like
an attempt to remove the hub sans hub puller. It
may have warped it. This may be causing the run-
out at the wheel. I will have to tell Tim (new
owner) what we found. As the book I was reading
last night says "when buying a used Lotus the
only thing to be sure about is you will not be
able to find all the problems before purchase."
