Ah it back this afternoon same code 🫣 I parked at school and got OBD reader out checked same as before car sounds as when first reported lotus said not found I cleared code and see what happens ?

I added some sound deadening stuff to sub/amp enclosure and it made a difference however it still needs a custom enclosure to make it proper effective ! I think some sound insulation around door speaker and cards would help certainly with sound quality from your ICE

I had my Evora at Central yesterday as they checked a ghost code didn’t charge for the hour they sorted it but then the car is booked next month for £1k work so it balance out I suppose ?

Just back from my lotus garage , the guys had the laptop on and couldn’t find the code (next time I won’t delete it) they checked the banks all running correctly they found the touch rich running was a maybe due to induction kit but they said it’s not an issue. anyway they kindly didn’t charge me and I went on my way 😀

I always thought clutch replacement via lotus was around £3k a lot more than when I replaced all my brake discs & pads ?

Dam ! I would have saved myself £400 😱

Ok I have booked my car back into lotus to check so annoyed hopefully it’s not going to be more than £100 last month ?

I had my car at lotus about 7-8 weeks ago as I kept getting engine code then limp mode this week I got this code but car drives ok no limp mode but it’s does sound like i have a teenager exhaust system which for me i do notice the change in engine tone. i cleared the code but am I needing to go back to my lotus garage ? I have driven the car as I been on a couple of runs with MLOC recently so had to get the red rings on occasions to keep up the pace with others in group.

I must say having just purchased VW camper I can begin to understand the freedom of van life you see on u tube however I do enjoy my Hifi music , my bed, my couch and watching sports on TV , my twice weekly footy & of course driving my Evora ! 🤔

I considered this maybe a wrap ? My roof got wrap already as it masks some paint imperfections ? Nice call 👍🏻 if I used stickers/decals they would be fairly large to cover the area of the spoiler ? Any suggestions ?

Thanks Greg I think it sounds a Pro job if it’s spoiler I guess this can be removed and treated (baked etc) then replaced back but I wonder if it will so shiny and out of place from rest of the car body ?

Ok I am still intending to see Option 1 about the bubbles on front ? cheers Bibs

My spoiler on my 2010 Evora is fading in places looks sad 😥 see pic not great as trying to capture is difficult in the light ? can I do it myself by using my DA and products of re-spray myself using something I can be guided to use? or is it a case of taking to Pro paint shop for treatment which will cost? any help advice gratefully received

I never really considered a lotus TBH I didn’t even know the cars they made, I heard and seen Esprit in James Bond movies but didn’t really take much notice ! why I choose my Evora was it shape , it was only mid engined 4 seater and it was generally low maintenance but more importantly within my budget range however when I realised it was a rare car not likely to be seen on roads that’s what swung it in the end 😀

If you’re after +2 then with the kids you can use the car for many years to come before they reach teen ages and their height makes back seats a real stretch ? I have got my daughter and friends 11-12 yrs olds into back front seats pushed far forward for a short trip to cinema. I am certain the rear Evora seats offer more room than the back storage space in non +2 or Emira ?
