I've been using one of these for about a year now. An excellent piece of kit, which has recovered "dead" batteries as well as starting anything so far that I have used it on. It's expensive, but well worth it in my opinion: https://no.co/gb70 https://www.amazon.co.uk/NOCO-GB70-UltraSafe-Lithium-Starter/dp/B016UG6PWE?th=1

If you use your phone as a sat nav you might consider the sat nav/dash cam combo from Garmin instead:- https://www.halfords.com/technology/sat-nav/car-sat-nav/garmin-driveassist-51lmt-d-with-full-europe-maps-5-sat-nav This has the normal suction cap attachment for mounting on the screen. I use it in my tin top but only as a sat nav on my aeroscreen.

I don't know about "the best" as I have only used the one, but the Storm Car Cover I have is excellent. I can fully recommend it. I purchased the Voyager as it is both waterproof and breathable. It is designed for the Seven, fits very well, and certainly protected mine last winter when I was having building work done at home. If you page down on their blog page you will see my green with yellow stripe car shown both half-undressed and fully covered! https://www.stormcarcovers.co.uk/blogs/news HTH

Success! Here it is:-

Brilliant, Anthony, that's exactly what I need(ed). I shall now get to work. Many thanks for your prompt and comprehensive help..

I haver added some routes in Devon this morning. There is one figure eight loop, and a number of short(er) feeder routes from from major towns/highways to various points where the loop may be joined. Is there any way of showing two or more routes in the same area at once? If there is I couldn't find it in the MyRoute support pages. Thanks to anyone who can help me, and to Marcus and the team for providing this great improvement to the site.

I agree - as I normally aeroscreen I go prepared, but I had to get the various bits and pieces (half doors, aeroscreen etc.) home with me I didn't have the option. Aeroscreen's on now though, so I'm happy! Terence

That was me, Chris, I had just collected the car from Yorkshire, and had to fit a Seven hood (in pouring rain) for the first time ever! It would have been better to have read the instructions first... Terence

Hi, Gordon, Mk I worked well today, so I will proceed to Mk II this week, and post details. Terence

Running an aeroscreen 7, and needing my satnav tomorrow I have just fabricated a bracket and plate which attaches below the dash on the passenger side. Basically it is an aluminium upper clamping piece and lower plate, curved to match the profile of the dash cross bar with a thin rubber coat where it clamps to the rail. There are two holes in the flange which carry 6 mm bolts through the bottom plate to wing nuts which clamp both parts together, for easy attachment and removal. The plate is angled to hang vertically, and the Garmin sucker attachment mounts onto that. This is a quick and dirty fix for tomorrow, and Mk 11 will be profiled to the size and shape of the Garmin mounting. The green background is to match the car - Mk 11 will be matt black!

Thanks, Jonathan. I shall read these now (and use that search in future!) I'll hope to have an answer wrapped up before too long! Terence

With the generous offer announced by Geoff Brown (https://www.lotus7.club/news/flame-barrier-high-temperature-exhaust-wrap-20) I searched on-line and on this site for information on the benefits or otherwise of exhaust wrapping. The internet seems ambivalent about these, and my search on the Club site gave me the following: Enter search term: Exhaust wrap Did you mean: Exhaust crap I don't know if that was an AI answer to my query, but I understand from my limited knowledge and research that there are benefits in using such tapes. What are your opinions, views, experiences? TIA Terence
