+1 Both my kids (4yr old and 2yr old) are terrified of dogs and most things on 4 legs after being jumped up on and pushed over by uncontrolled dogs in the park. The owners at best responded to a screaming toddler with "he's very friendly, a big softy really" while dragging their dog away, more typically with a complete lack of concern. And don't get me started on owners (my autocorrect makes that offenders!) who think it's acceptable for their pet to cock its leg over a pram with a baby in it!

My Drivers window
Chris J replied to Kimbers's topic in Interior/Exterior/Lights/Glass/Alarms/ICE/HVAC/Other
How new is the battery? The window drop stopped working on mine when the battery wasn't holding a charge properly. -
It goes with the Mk1 Focus indicator/wiper stalks...

My new Company car.....now gutted!!
Chris J replied to Kimbers's topic in Lotus / Motoring / Cars Chat
Had a Kia hire car recently, it was a cut above the usual Fiats, Vauxhalls etc, iwas impressed and I'll probably look at one to replace the family Skoda when the time comes. -

Anyone would think the Koreans were hiring German designers... Edit: You beat me to it by seconds... -
Evo are probably repositioning in anticipation of Geely giving Lotus money for an actual marketing budget...

Rear suspension knocking
Chris J replied to Cdm2018's topic in Ride/Handling/Suspension/Brakes/Wheels/Tyres
I had a constant knocking/pattering sound from the back of the car which I thought was suspension related. It turned out to be I think the handbrake caliper slightly loose. -
Evora market watch, for discussion and to help those searching!
Chris J replied to Colin G's topic in Evora Chat
The red one has lost the Evora sticker from the back so presumably the rear bumper has either been resprayed or replaced? I also like that in the similar cars section at the bottom of the advert it comes up with an Evoque and an A5 convertible as the first options! -

Coolant temperature drop on higher engine load?
Chris J replied to Chris J's topic in Engine & Ancilliaries/Gearbox
Good thoughts, thanks! The car's in for service in a couple of weeks so I'll pass it on to swlc to look at. -
Coolant temperature drop on higher engine load?
Chris J replied to Chris J's topic in Engine & Ancilliaries/Gearbox
I'd considered that, it seems odd that temperatures appear normal during town driving and it underreads during harder driving, or is that a usual symptom for the sensor deteriorating? -
I'm running a 2011 NA Evora which has an odd thing going on with the coolant temperatures which I don't know if it's at all normal. Trundling along at town speeds temperatures warm up to normal (halfway or slightly lower on the gauge) as I'd expect. If I then have a short spirited drive on the country roads for 5 miles or so, using more of the rev range, the temperature vanishes back down the scale. Usually down to a few pixels above the bottom, but on a cold night two days ago temperatures dropped right off the bottom of the scale which was more worrying! Going back in to town driving

I drove an Elise on a track experience at Castle Combe and then accidentally bought one a year later while looking for a small hatchback for the missus to learn to drive in... I moved up to the Evora after we had the first sprog and i needed the +2 space. Also my wife didn't want to be married to a cock who drove a Porsche. (her words)...

The Alpine's a lovely thing, if i didn't need at least a bit of practicality and the +2 of the Evora I would have one in a heartbeat.

Seat belt rubbing on seat
Chris J replied to Brendonian's topic in Interior/Exterior/Lights/Glass/Alarms/ICE/HVAC/Other
I picked up a cheap seat belt pad from amazon for this. Cost me all of £8 3 years ago and has been fine since.
