[Evora long term ownership]

I'm happy to wait 🤣

Somewhere there will  some be pictures as there was a chap who did just what you're think of after seeing mine.

[Evora long term ownership]

Between my NA, my S and my GTE ( which I've had 7 years!) I must be upto 10 years now. My first was a m100 elan in 96 I think. Would love an Emira but it would have to be a used one as the GTE is going nowhere!

Silver! But I'm biased 🤣

[Strange Speed & RPM Gauge Readings]

I had a transmission error end of last year and it was slow changing gear etc. I came to the conclusion I had a duff trickle charger. The car started fine but would soon bring the error up and be stupid changing gear. After leaving my car on my big charger and bwfore replacing my trickle charger I haven't had any issues. Replace your battery or put it on a powerful charger for a few days and let it condition the battery.

A friend had one many years ago with a cosworth conversion, it wasn't slow!

The fact there were only 3 of us there I suppose it shouldn't surprise me! Cheers Bibs

[Delivery schedule]

I have always found the 400/410 seats too high compared to the Recaros. As above, I found I was looking through the top of the screen. However the seats in the blue Emira were more like the Recaos height wise.

Ive changed the fuel pump on mine and it fitted through that hole/hatch perfectly?

Michelin are definitely better, don't completely stop it though.

Thanks all for the further comments.  I have to say that my kids are far more tolerant than my wife is to any sort of discomfort especially in a “fast” car.  I need to now find a dealer within reasonable driving distance who has one!

Well that presents an easy solution, leave the wife at home and just take the kids out 😁😂

[Will the Emira have a speed limiter?]

My 2019 van has lane departure warning and it doesn't bother me. The two things that do are the stop start, it stops as you are pulling up, so if it's a give way and you continue to pull out there is a delay while it starts and then tries to catch up. To me it shouldn't stop until the vehicle stops.

The other is the automatic braking to stop a collision. Every now and again if some one is turning left its still picks them up as stationary as they turn and slams my brakes on for a fraction second until there gone. It's all heading down the route of autonomous vehicles, so no room for fun driving vehicles that I can see.  

[Contemplating parting ways with my Evora]

£200 month isnt massive but i can fully appreciate if things are tight its an easy expense to off load. I did this in the last recession, i was lotus-less for 3 years, but jumped back on board as soon as I could. All 2nd hand car  prices are high at the moment, I think Evoras may dip a little when current owners trade in for Emiras thus putting a few back on the market. A well sorted car will always sell quickly if realistically priced. I would personally be tempted to hang on for a bit but I do use mine over winter and it is garaged when not in use. A car is replaceable, your health & family arent. Do what you need to do and when things pick up you can always return. Good luck with what ever you decide.

Only to find they either left it with a neighbour or threw it over your fence 🤣😂

[Getting deposit back]

So will I get it delivered free the next day if I order it through amazon, as I already have prime 🤣

[Evora alarm triggers exactly 3 minutes and 33 seconds after setting]

This may seem odd but does your horn work? I had an issue with mine going off randomly after a few mins with no hazards, I found my horn fuse had blown. Replaced and all ok. Try checking other fuses.

@AlI did the same tour but put the then Mrs in the car with Martin Donnelly, she never complained about my driving again 😂🤣

You don't get on with your neighbours then 😂🤣

I had a valved 2bular exhaust on my n/a that @Alfa2Evoranow owns. I will let him describe it. 😁

Nice to see no 8 and no 10 at the classic today.

[HELP! Clutch pedal clevis pin removal]

Could you feed a wire through the end of the clip and pull it off?

[Engine cover Gas struts]

They loose pressure over time, the signs are that they work when hot, but not when cold. Just replace them, they arent expensive from louts but you can get even cheaper suzuki ones to match. Cant remember the spec but im sure a search would find it.

[Extra padding for seat cushion - Recaro]

I got a price of foam and I got some tan alcantara, similar in colour to seats, to cover it. This was to allow to carry a child seat without digging into the seat.

[Which drivetrain have you selected?]

Then someone questioned his source 🤣😂
