Hi I have a 2011 in silver with black leather with 41 k on that i am thinking of selling

Hi i am thinking of selling my 2011 silver with 41 k miles

I have a 2011 silver one i am thinking of selling its done 41 k

I had a problem with Yuasa now on my third under warranty!

Hi David thanks for your help it looks like that's the answer to my problem

This sounds like the same problem that I have thanks for that, mine already has the plastic master cylinder fitted about five years ago so it could be faulty. What sort of job is it to replace?

hi thanks for the replies but it only happens after the car has had a long run not on short journeys which are around town and then it stays as it should , if I leave the car a few days after short runs it stays fine ?

Hi I thought that but the lotus dealer said they bled it again and no air came out, I have just tried it and its still fine on short trips

Just had clutch and brake fluid replaced at a lotus dealer the clutch was fine on the way home but later turned soft so I returned the car only to have the same problem after I returned home . On short trips its ok it just seems to happen on longer trips I have heard of the heat off the manifold problem but the fluid is new so would that be the case, the car is a s1 2011 ps the pedal comes back after a few pumps on it

took it to Oakmere lotus had to have a new module fitted sorted now

After a flat battery my airbag light is on my 2011 evora any ideas for a quick fix?

new battery sorted but the old one was 4 months old yuasa which was swapped under guarantee

Hi after recharging my 2011 evora battery all lights come on but it will not turn over also tried a booster charger but just a click at the relays any ideas welcome

hi mine were solid too, my car had 38 k on it and is a daily drive......... grab the pin in the middle with some grips and waggle up and down , tap the end with a punch to move it a bit then a thin piece of emery cloth around the pin and pull it back and forth until the pin is clear of rust, tap it back in and out a bit and keep cleaning it with the emery cloth until the pin is the size of the hole and it should just pull or tap out. The hole for the pin is tight so a little bit of rust will stop it coming out, you can put as much penetrating fluid on it as you like and it will not free it off its all down to the rust on the pin . After I had done one the rest were dead easy its a nack of doing it and mine were really rusted solid .

real easy way to get out rusted pins read my post on brakes and pin removal

I have not yet got round to fitting the Radium CAI as I have been thinking of selling my N/A and buying an S . I am a bit concerned about the warning light problems any help on how to avoid this would be welcome as I still have the N/A.

Hi just done mine, loosen the pins with a drift, rotate with a pair of pliers and clean the pins in situ with wet and dry as they swell up with the rust and will not exit the calliper as they are too big. You can put on as much lubricant as you like and they still will not come out as the exit holes are a tight fit , the pins have to be made the size when new.

hi you need a new microphone and GPS aerial ,cut the pink and black wire on the main connector then cut and splice the green and brown wire on the single wire connector to it ,tape up the green and brown and that's it. just set the unit up and its done

Just done mine today pm me if you need help

thanks for that, what did you do for your microphone and GPS aerial?

Sorted at last, I hope that this will be of use to some members , the tech pack cars have a choke or noise suppressor fitted with a fuse inside it as well as the fuse in the fuse board for the radio. It appears that they all have a choke but only the tech pack cars have a fused choke which is a small blade 10A the same as the one in the fuse board .The choke is mounted at the bottom of the fuse board grey in colour with alpine written on it !

hi yes I have checked for power at the fuse and its showing it has , but the wiring disappears up the dash and your right it does not have far to go I suppose that if I cant find the choke fuse then I could locate the live wire in the harness and splice a new feed from the fuse board in to it but I like to do it right really

hi Bibs, it seems that it is , its just I need to find out where its situated and it seems only on the tech pack cars this is fitted regards Paul

I have looked on the wiring diagram for the tech pack cars and it shows a choke /fuse for the stereo ,any ideas where its located ,I have had the head unit out and there is no sign of it at the back of the head unit

back to the beginning have swapped two other head units but it seems that there is no power to them ,have checked radio fuse which blew twice previously and also the amp fuse in the rear but still no life at the head unit , any thoughts?
