| The Lotus Carlton runs a self levelling suspension arrangement at the rear to ensure aerodynamics are maintained regardless of weight in the car. This is the removal and refurbishment of the air pump located just behind the passenger rear wheel. When opening up the pump the air chambers inside were clogged with corroded aluminium powder which was all cleaned out before re-assembly. | |||||||||||
