There's been some need for the 4 channel abs units recently. Once we have numbers I'll confirm a price. To give you an idea I think they're usually around 375-400. Express an interest in the usual .org fashion! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Will they need programming/coding? If so how and what sort of cost does this entail?

[FLD]

I have been known to take my car there so they are sent out ready to go. It's sometimes an issue though so only do it occasionally. The coding is just a reset. It's done at any decent lotus place with the 'yellow' lead. Cost between free and 50 ish. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah same one, might be interested... but would need someone to sort out programming for me, because Lotus dealerships in France are complicated to sort out for me...

Is there a dead line.....I'm interested subject to timing/cost and it being programmed. When they are programmed is it based on a specific rolling diameter for front and rear or does this not matter? I just recall that the 2 channel unit does not like the the drop to 16" fronts with lower profile tyres.

 I would be interested as well but again the timing is not so great for me financially, how long before the list is closed?

Lotus price is £698. Paul will do them at £499 delivered in the uk. This would likely be a non-reset unit and we need at least 10. The programming is just a reset. Please bear in mind that this has been done on my car in the past and takes a morning of my time. I don't charge for this, I do it as a favour for some folks. It can easily be done at your nearest lotus dealer or specialist and is just a reset, no specific programming. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That's a good deal thanks but too much for me. Was looking £400 max. Cheers

[Foxy]

I too was hoping for closer to £400, but I'm still in. To reset on a car do you still need the lotus scan tool or can it be done on a car that already has a 4ch unit fitted?

I'd hazard a guess that the list will close when we hit 10.

How will the 4-channel abs be affected by using similar tire size front and rear, not 16/17 like on a lotus?

No it needs to be done on a car using opcom for each unit, or at least mine did. You could do it on the same car by swapping and resetting each unit one at a time though. I'm not sure if it would matter if it were NA/turbo which is worth investigating if your going down that road.

The abs computer gets reading from each wheel hub and looks at differences. So if some wheels are rotating slower than others it releases and reapplies the brakes. I think the 2-11 unit works at 7%, it's not the wheel size it's the circumference of the tyre. If you stick to OEM tyre sizes you should be fine.

You mention Opcom - are you sure you can use Opcom for this as I thought it had to be the official lotus stuff?

Blimey. Nearly £700 rrp?!! I got lucky then and managed to get one for £300 off a forum member. It was brand new and he'd sold his VX before he got round to fitting it. Allon White Sports Cars in Milton Keynes also kindly did the reset for free. But I know other Lotus dealers will charge up to £50 to perform the reset if you don't take advantage of FLD's kind offer to do it for you.
