Evora oil feeder line launch to MY11

PSA for those with an 09-11 Evora - check if you have had the oil feeder line changed to a metal part. Details here (part number can be found in a linked thread):

Our local experts hadn’t heard of the issue before, so I thought maybe it was a regional (US/LHD) thing - but confirmed today my ‘10 NA has the offending part.

Perhaps it’s widely known and documented here already, but I couldn’t find it in search!

Hi James,

Its is known, not sure its well known but there is a thread about it.  Apologies I can't work out how to link to it, but if you search "Massive oil leak on 2010 Evora".  Hopefully someone can put a link?

I replaced the rubber hoses on my car with the metal parts which looks to have been a Lexus/Toyota related service note but doesn't seem to have reached Lotus.

I knew I’d seen it somewhere here! The thread takes a bit of a scenic route

Maybe still a useful reminder to anyone who hasn’t had it looked at yet.
