Thanks all. Looks like I'll order the Alpine ILX-W690D then. Car has to go in for a service at Silverstone and I was hoping they might just fit it for me. Not sure if staff have changed there (I didn't get to speak to either Matt or Aimee) but they don't seem to have quite the same can do attiitude and were only willing to refit an OEM part. Guess I'll have to do it myself once I get the car back then!

Hi, my 2010 NA still has the original Lotus head unit in it and I think its on its way out. Sometimes refuses to turn on and I no longer have a working rear view camera. Figured I'd swap it for something newer, ideally with wireless Apple Car Play too. Any suggestions on something that will be an easy replacement? Had a search on here and I think the Alpine ILX-W690D seems to be a common upgrade choice, is that still the one to go for? How easy is it to change? Easy to DIY or let the dealer do it at the next service type job? Thanks! Hamza

Anyone familiar with this one: https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202406070523587?sort=price-asc&advertising-location=at_cars&make=Lotus&model=Evora&page=2&postcode=Ha55an&fromsra or is it hopefully owned by someone on here?

Wondered if it belonged to a forum member either here or over on SELOC. She drove mine (Evora) yesterday and decided that it couldn't work for all the London driving she does so is now working out if she can keep the Boxster for the town work and justify the Evora too for longer trips!

Anyone know much about this car? https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202402176672141?sort=price-asc&advertising-location=at_cars&make=Lotus&model=Evora&postcode=Ha5 5an&fromsra my sister is interested in it

Yep, won't be able to get to the edges and round the edge to the side slightly which you will if they are removed. Also less risk of overspray of lacquer onto the rest of the car and the lamps can be properly baked to cure the lacquer which again I imagine your guy won't be doing.

When Lotus Silverstone did mine, they removed the headlamps from the car to relacquer them. I'm guessing that's going to account for the difference price as I imagine your guy won't?

Working with software every day I can well believe it... especially from "legacy" vehicle manufacturers. I would have thought Lotus would just want to disable any self driving for now and get cars into customer hands with promises to enable self driving later (a la Tesla). Seems odd to hold back the whole car for that.

derrr... yes of course. There's gearbox oil.

Hi all, I'm getting the little yellow spanner light up on the dash for a short time when I start the car (and once briefly while cruising along). Finally got around to reading the error code using Car Scanner and I get this: Car Scanner ELM OBD2 DTC report Selected brand: Lotus VIN: <REDACTED> ============1============== P0994 Raw code: 0994 ECU: Engine control unit Status: Confirmed Transmission fluid pressure (TFP) sensor F - circuit low Which is all very well except that my car is manual. I'm not much of a mechanic but I don't think manuals have transmission fluid of any kind do they? So what gives? My air con has been very weak this summer (and was fantastic last summer) and is now pretty much non existent. Could it be the air con refrigerant gas that is low? If so I probably have a leak...but not sure why I'd get this error message. Thanks!

Thanks @C8RKH. Its a 2Bular and I had just polished up the tips 😀 @MrBlueSky I'm guessing those are adverts (which Full Forum Members won't be getting). Either sign up and pay for a full membership or use an adblocker I guess.

Ok thanks. I'll it a go... else I guess time to call Lotus again

well I recently acquired a bluetooth OBD reader... guess this is a good a reason as any to try it out. Any recommendations on apps to use with it for the Evora?
