EuropaSman's post in Rear light removal Evora S was marked as the answer
You need an 8mm long socket as the screw threads are too long for a normal socket.
I found that out when I changed the O/S rear light bezel a couple of weekends ago on my Evora.

EuropaSman's post in Air Conditioning problem? was marked as the answer
It's possibly evaporator icing similar to that on the Evora S1s that can be notorious for it. The HVAC boxes on the earlier Evoras especially didn't have the thermistor in quite the right place iirc, but in the case of the Exige V6, the HVAC housing is exactly the same as that on the Elise S2/S3 and Exige S2.
The evaporator on my Evora Launch Edition will ice up in about half an hour on full cold/full fan in hot weather conditions. The tell-tale for me is that the blower reduces from full to nothing, and after a run with the aircon on my Evora always has quite a large wee from its HVAC drain. If your Exige does that too, then that's what it is. A short blast of full hot sorts it out. It's not ideal but does the trick.
I've not had long the aircon fixed on my Elise S3 to ascertain whether that exhibits a similar behaviour. What I do know is that the compressor kicks in and out a lot more often on the Elise, whereas I don't hear the Evora's compressor doing the same - it just keeps on going. The ECU should be modulating the aircon compressor, but I'd hazard a guess that on the Exige V6 it's more Evora like that Elise like in terms of the compressor control.

EuropaSman's post in Evora 400/Sport410 - replacement arch reflectors was marked as the answer
www.deroure.com a.k.a. the Bell & Colvill Parts Shop. Prices plus VAT & carriage.
It looks like the reflectors with grey base are available and are at "B" level, e.g. A132U4851F has been replaced by B132U4851F etc. The black base ones are available with the exception of the left hand rear one apparently.

EuropaSman's post in Modification to have clicky indicators instead of silent ones (Elise S3) was marked as the answer
I had been thinking about the silent indicators on my Elise S3, then came across this thread from the Exige V6 part of the forum. Well, the mod works for the Elise S3 as well!
I bought this flasher relay and swapped it out for the silent Perei module.

Happy days! Clicky indicators and hazard lights. For the sake of £9 it is one of the best and cheapest modifications yet that I've made to my Elise.
