Evora body panel repair
B430m posted a topic in Interior/Exterior/Lights/Glass/Alarms/ICE/HVAC/Other
I have some damage to the underside of the sill panel, it’s only slight and not visible unless you get under the car. I would like to have a go at repairing this myself but need advice on what is the correct material to use on this type of panel. I believe polyester resin is the preferred resin for repair but would like to get other people’s experience on what should be used. -
Clunk noise. Not the usual suspects
B430m replied to Goatboy's topic in Ride/Handling/Suspension/Brakes/Wheels/Tyres
I think you will find that this is common to all Evora’s, it’s the geometry of the steering, when you turn the wheel at a sharp angle at low speed (especially in reverse) the front wheels grip and then let go causing a clunk. -
Best number plate you've seen on a Lotus

600 miles annually, oil change every year?
B430m replied to Registered's topic in Engine & Ancilliaries/Gearbox
As long as the car is garaged and not track used, I would be changing it every two years. -
I thought that was only a problem with Elise/Exige cars, never heard of it on Evoras. Whats the Mark on the adjusting nut, has it been hit with something?

I’ve never heard that an Evora ride is like a luxury saloon, compared to an Elise or Exige, some people may think that. Depending on what Evora you have depends a lot on the ride firmness, the original N/A’s are much more compliant that the 400’s, so it depends on what your base line is.

Tailgate Manual Release

Sorry, I wouldn’t have a clue where it is on the 2+0. -
Tailgate Manual Release

If yours is a 2+2, just lift the rear seat on the right hand side as shown in the illustration. -
Tailgate Manual Release
B430m replied to phenoyz's topic in Interior/Exterior/Lights/Glass/Alarms/ICE/HVAC/Other
I think you’ll find it under the rear seat squab on the right hand side. Make sure you pull it gently and just enough to release the tailgate, otherwise it will break! -
Do car tyres go off even when not used?
B430m replied to electro_boy's topic in Ride/Handling/Suspension/Brakes/Wheels/Tyres
I was told by a tyre reseller that 6yrs was the safe life of tyres. -
Mine has got the three packs and lovely interior, Mate.

Exactly as Steve said!

I’ve had a Radium installed on a NA for six years and it’s never thrown a code. It was installed by a Lotus service centre whether that made any difference, I don’t know.
