These are oilite bearings (bronze with a sponge like structure, filled with oil), so the proper way is to oil them with sae40 oil. Quote "Oilite...
On the lotus the fan is protected by a 15A fuse, so my rough guess is 7.5~10A.
The early relay panel (till 400i gen1) are bullet-proof, you may want to upgrade the fuse panels as the quality of nowadays torpedo fuses is...
It's got three ASTI fans. I really don't like them! Very powerfull, but the alloy does not age well. Poor protection against dust. These were...
Pop-up lights is usually dried grease on the electric path of the lifting motors. Removing the rubber boot of the motor is a pain, but the repair...

While you are there, are you sure the small oil hose of the pump is not clogged? That's the one between the pump and the oil filters.
There are two valves: one on the vacuum port, another one close to the vacuum pump.
Given that you cannot crank the engine, vacuum is out of scope for now. Normally your car should start with cold control pressure and zero vacuum,...
Never tried to fully lift it, but the distributor plunger slides over a 1,5cm "window", and the disc is actuates this plunger through a long...
