Somewhere I have a copy of Lotus' own notes on maintaining the 23.
Might take me a while to find them though, chaos reigns at Castle Causer

For ideas on what to check I suggest you study Carroll Smith's "Prepare
to Win" (doesn't he live in the same street as a lister?) and apply as
req'd to the 23. I used this as the basis for making my checklists for
the GRD F3 I used to run.
