    Well the car threw up a load of codes and limp mode so after my AA man had a look best thing was to send to lotus garage ! 😥

    You could be right mine a lowly NA but check out Elise parts and others don’t forget to get quote from lotus garage too as ever shop around I guess if you have skills and facilities you can DIY I have none of the above so reliant on others !

    I paid £500 for pair drilled discs and general pads and about £250 fitting at my lotus garage and about to do the same later this month if you opt to go with higher spec type then yes £800-1300 be about right I guess I purchased from Elise parts but have gone with lotus supplied items I think we get discount and don’t have to pay the extra delivery charges

    Where do these low mileage cars live ? I know my 5-6k annual mileage is not mega but I drive it every week at least once ? It’s a nice tidy state it looks a 2+0 but still a nice buy for new owner ?

    I just watched first part you must be very proud of your dad brought a tear to my eyes 😥

    Not sure if there is any refurb on the inside of the unit as they sealed ? I rang these people who advertise on eBay but went with a local guy who did it for half the cost. I think I posted a picture of the before and after of the headlight

    Yes I stupidly cleared the code but took a picture and sent it before they looked at it I assume they tested the sensor as they told me they checked everything and it all seemed fine ? I was worried that I shouldn’t be driving as Jonnys extract indicates a serious fault but car seems ok but I noticed the revs were limited when I tried to give it some beans ?

    I recall headlights on sale of eBay from lotus parts sellers ? I had the glazing effect so much that my lotus garage told me it could effect my MOT ? so I got a guy to polish the outside part made a big difference but some marks inside the lens are still there and I can’t do anything as it’s sealed unit

    My Evora got that paint bubbling the feedback is as I not covered it and it sits outside the bubbling could been worse but I guess erosion factor in metal will always be occurring. I try and use my at least once a week but as Jep mentioned you need to factor a £1-2k a year running costs a price worth paying 😀

    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 ?
  11. Cdm2018
    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 ?
  15. Cdm2018
    Dam ! I would have saved myself £400 😱
  16. Cdm2018
    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 ?
  17. Cdm2018
    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 ! 🤔
  19. Cdm2018
    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 ?
  20. Cdm2018
    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 ?
  21. Cdm2018
    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 ?
  25. Cdm2018
    My jets don’t work very well according to my last service it squeezes out a little water just about to clear the screen , I have no mechanical ability or equipment so be letting my lotus guys to quote me but I need window regulators & rear brakes sorted first at £1k 😱
