Sorry I haven't been back on since I posted. I'll upload some pictures soon! I managed to find one company who makes an entire Lotus Carlton kit but their current price is upwards of £8000. Seems fairly expensive for such a niche kit.

Hi Davep, glad to hear you got your vxr sorted. Obviously being a higher spec motor it prefers the e5. My old girl seems to prefer the e10. As I mentioned in previous posts, it was splutters and sluggish for a bit, but a good service, and she seems happy again. Just recently did a trip of nearly 300 miles, and she returned 59.6 mpg, at a steady 60mph. I must be doing something right.🙂

Don't think anyone will be as stupid as me. Buy thought I'd mention this. I have always used e5 shell in my vectra vxr. The other day was out and was really low (c.o.l) so I pulled in to morrissons to try there super unleaded. Didn't have none so put a tenners worth of e10 in the car now got a horrible misfire engine management and service light on. Two bottles of redex later and £50 of e5 later car is OK. Plz any vxr owners don't even chance a tenner if desperate. Yes I am a idiot
