I find it weird that MMC advise against a one point jack to change a wheel, you're bu66ered for a DIY roadside puncture & would the AA man think you were balmy pointing it out ?

Is the CX chassis so weak ? What if you drop into a big pothole ? What about a steep twisty ramp onto a ferry ? surely there are lots of 'normal' situations that subject the chassis to high point loads ?

I thought at launch MMC bragged it had more torsional stiffness than the Aero chassis ? The bonding glues used produce a joint stronger than the material...so is this admission that the alloy is a bit low grade ?

What's the restrictive jacking info for a modern Lotus, as ex Lotus lads designed the CX chassis (allegedly)
