Evora Air conditioning failure
Brendonian replied to Breeze's topic in Interior/Exterior/Lights/Glass/Alarms/ICE/HVAC/Other
I’ve never had to reset an airbag light, and the procedure varies depending on which app you’re using, but there’s should be an option to clear all codes. That’s all that’s required 👍 -

Any generic dongle should be fine. I use an app called EOBD Facile. They’re all pretty cheap, so I’d recommend just buying one rather than trying to find the perfect combination! As stated earlier, it won’t help your AC problem if your spanner light isn’t coming on. You probably need a regas. -

That right. There was a firmware update for newer Evora models, but not older ones. Hence my LE needed regular resets. Think the problem was solved when I replaced the compressor, but can’t be entirely sure as I sold the car soon after. Generic reader can’t read the AC error codes, but can reset them 👍 -

This ECU reset isn’t likely to help then. -

Hamza, you need a simple OBD dongle for reading/clearing ECU error codes. Do you have the spanner warning lamp on? -
Brendonian started following Fitting twin electric horns - help needed! and The Lotus Forums Shop

New PIAA horns arrived today. I’ve done a test fit, and I’m happy with the sound. Don’t like the ugly connectors that came with the Eliseparts kit, and the wires are stupidly long. The PIAA kit only comes with wires to connect one horn, which they suggest splicing into the car’s harness. Don’t want to permanently modify the car’s wiring, so I’ve ordered a nicer set of connectors and a crimping tool. I’ll make my own harness adapter to finish the job properly. Also looks like my ventilation system could be improved by clearing some of the adhesive from the intakes 😂

Thanks @Bibs think I’ll just treat them to some beeswax, and just enjoy them 👍
-
Thanks Bibs. I managed to tighten than bolt up, so no longer any panic about how to access the nut. Eliseparts actually say they provide a bigger fuse with the horn pair, though it was missing with mine. I'll check the current draw, and consider switching to those PIAA horns if it's too much for the wiring 👍

I got carried away with my little winter maintenance job of cleaning inside the front intakes, and decided to upgrade the utterly pants horn. I bought the twin electric horn kit from Eliseparts, and it doesn’t come with any instructions. Should be an easy job, but when trying to remove the original horn, I stupidly started slacking off the bolt that fixes the mounting bracket to the crash structure. It just keeps turning, so I guess there’s a nut on the other end. Anybody know how to access it? I’m guessing it’s either behind the wheel arch liner, or I’ll need to remove the front undertray?

I’m sure there’s much better roads around the highlands. I’m not ready to plan anything yet, but I’m sure to check in with you guys when the time comes 👍

Yeah, I’ve always found France a lovely place to drive, though I haven’t explored enough of Wales, Scotland, or even the Lake District

I almost did the NC500 last year. Lots of stories of broken roads, too many caravans, and a heavy police presence rather put me off 🙁

Holy shit! Sorry to hear about the blowout! Hope no real harm done!? Honestly thought those tyres were all good. I feel really bad about that. Definitely need to plan some kind of road trip to make proper use of the luggage 😀
