C5 total Disassembly - 17-02-07
Total disassembly, and bad surprise... :(
The C5 in it's really base mechaninsm 
Totally naked ! this was made by Lotus ! 
Some details about rear brake system 
The other side, the power weel 
The screw i removed from the back which was holding the black metal frame, nice ! 
Steering bar in the front, it is quite clean alredy 
Frontal brake, got a broken spring holder, see below. Plus some assembly notes... 
Rear brake, cleaned, shining, satisfied ! 
Motor holder, now it's clean. 
"slow heat" sensor, tha's to evaluate the cumulative heat in the motor 
That is the ball bearing for the breaking weel, and right a closeup view for the traction weel 
This is the "fast heat" sensor for the motor, it should detect the temperature of the air inside the motor. 
The boken front brake piece... uhhmm... how can i do ? 
Inside the gearbox ! i don't have the words to describe, only thing i can say is: it was dry, and it's not good ! 
The cover of the gearbox... uhhmmm i wonder from where all this powder is coming ! 
Nooo !!!!! it's broken !!! not this, not this !!! whyyyyyy !?!?!that is posing a big "STOP" to my repair activity!! 
Wow ! pieces start accumulation so fast ! i hope to put all back in the right place !! 
Closeup on motor brushes, i need to take'em off...
