  1. JAWS's post in identify this part ? A138s0253F was marked as the answer   
    The part looks to have been marked up wrong by Janspeed. If anything it should be A132S0233F assuming it is a UK{ROW) part? A132S0253F is a Federal spec part.
    If people are interested the part numbers are broken down like this. The first letter being the engineering level. Any changes to it mean it goes up a level. A to B to C etc.
    The next 3 numbers refer to the model it was originally released on. 132 being Evora, 138 being Exige.
    The 4th letter relates to where the part is located on the car. 'S' being an exhaust component.
    The next 4 letters are randomly chosen unless it's a proprietary/"bought in part" which would use a 6000 series number, also the other rule is - LH/LHD should be an odd number, RH/RHD should be even (However, this rule was ignored a lot of times on the Tesla Roadster)
    The last letter relates to its status, 'F' being a finished part, 'S' a service part and so on.
     
  2. JAWS's post in Evora - Spare wheel was marked as the answer   
    You can actually get a spare wheel for the Evora. It's a legal requirement for Gulf state cars.
    It's the 19" front wheel/tyre which can be used on either the front or rear. You wouldn't be using it in anger though, just a get home job.
  3. JAWS's post in Evora launch edition door open pull (interior) - alloy or plastic? was marked as the answer   
    They changed around April 2010. The forged metal ones were hugely expensive, labour intensive to make and care for. However they are so so much nicer than the plastic chrome ones.
    My car had the last pair fitted 😊
    At a similar time they removed the Evora badge from the dash on Premium Pack cars. Plus the headlamps went from shiny black plastic inside to a satin/Matt finish.
    On another note - if anyone mentions that the handles are Honda Civic ones, then please punch yourself in the face. I've even seen it written in Absolute Lotus magazine 🤦
