Advantages: Classic good looks and affordable rag-top fun Disadvantages: Leak-prone hood
another Elan owner who didn't experience a leaky hood - be it a few drops or the need to drive with a towel draped elegantly across their right thigh! They ALL leak, some more than others, but this in no way decreases the joy of owning an Elan - you get used to it, work around it or bankrupt yourself trying to eliminate it!
When the Elan had been standing - especially outside - I found the turbo waste-gate (if that's how you spell it!) would stick and prevent the engine revving over 4,000rpm. That famous cure-all: WD40 seemed to do the trick though!
The cam-angle sensor is a notorious cause of the "check-engine" light appearing on the dash and this is an important question to ask any seller when looking to purchase an Elan of your own.

Advantages: two ovens and seperate grill, 6 rings Disadvantages: top is difficult to keep clean

I do find cleaning the top around the rings a bit of a chore but it's worth it. The Elan is very straight forward to use. The pan drawer is useful for storing baking trays. There is a simpal to use timer and a child lock to stop the range working if young children turn the dials ...
Advantages: very clear sturdy modern Disadvantages: lack of adjustment in tone
This is my second DAB radio, the first one went wrong, that was a Ferguson. this PURE DAB ELAN looks very modern and is it would seem quite sturdy in its construction. The display is quite small but this seems quite common with DAB radios. Controls are simple but i would say not that intuitive or maybe you could say sequence of use is not always logical. I like to be able to open a new gadget and be able to use it straight out of the box and then read the instructions for the detailed functions. this is not like that you have to read the manual first to get the benefit of the machine. sound quality is very good however a little more depth of bass would be nice, or at least more settings to adjust it. we all hear different depending on our age hence the need for variation in settings ...
