It does seem a common problem looking at the many comments about it, I've just ordered a new brush plate and armature so hoping to refurbish mine, was hoping to avoid the cost of a new one - £530 from Lotus or £400 from Eliseparts!

@Lukeyboy2k when you did this, did you remove the starter from the top once the air box is out etc... or did you need to access from below. I'm planning to do this this week as my starter has gone I think. I just get this 'fluttering' noise when I try and start the car?

I'd be interested to hear how you get on.. my 2010 goes into gear ok but is quite stiff in the change. My local dealer suggested new gear cables and commented that they do suffer from excessive heat if tracked etc... I'll probably get them changed next year but not with the MY12 cables and setup.

Time to get my wheels refurbished... has anyone had first hand experience in or around Northamptonshire. There are many places, most of them seem to have good reviews, but just wondered whether there is a anywhere particular you'd recommend? Thanks,

Great solution.. did a similar thing with the same cup holder and p clips...

No, not sure why? I can see images in the previous posts but just not in this one. Also, I can't now see images in the 'Lotus Number 9 - the Evora Launch Edition Refresh thread' that I used to be able to see. I presume it must be my end? Some of the other threads seem fine?

Any reason why I can't see the image.. just get a gVTPISW.jpg link?

@Edmundo2 At the price it is, if its a sound car I might be tempted to wrap it in a colour that you like?

Yes, great price.. and I have to say I do love the matt black look... isn't it good we are all different 😀

Your Google must be better than mine 😀. The aston store (link above) works out at £38 inc. postage which was the cheapest I found. There's plenty of Betaclean 3350 but I assume that's a different product, though not really looked into it.

Here's a couple of pics of the 'MY12' seals on my car. The first pic is it in place... the 2010 seals if I remember correctly are glued below what you see to the sill side though I can't remember how it was rooted around the door. The dealer changed mine because I was getting water ingress and the sill top was getting very wet whenever it rained hard? The problem I have with the 'MY12 seals is that the sill ridge/groove (?) isn't deep enough to hold the seal in place so it just comes away usually when you are getting in and out (second pic). I'm just working on a solution to ensure its fixed into place...

Just to complete this thread.. brake cleaner worked ok, still meant several hours of scraping/soaking with fluid etc, but finally it all came off. I also found this place if anyone ever wants to buy the Lotus recommended cleaner: https://www.astonstore.co.uk/product/betaclean-3900/ but brake cleaner worked fine for me so thanks @Bruss for the recommendation. Now off to work out how to better fix 'MY12 door seals to a 2010 Evora... 🤔

Thanks, I did try there.. comes to £34 when you add vat + delivery.. but when you come to create an account it says its for business/trade only.

thanks... works out at £43.90.. maybe, though I think I'll try brake cleaner first!

Yes, that's the thing.. was going to order form there at £34 but it said it didn't support domestic accounts, only businesses? Ah ok.. will give that a go tomorrow, thanks
