  1. The air con has been fantastic - up to around 48 degrees so far. Not the fastest system to cool down (Ford Explorer faster) but gets there perfectly well.
  2. Just over 1500km later and she is a dream! The limp home mode was due to a failed engine temperature sensor and was sorted by Al Futtaim whilst I waited (another 400 had the same problem so they knew what it was).
  3. Update - car was delivered 2 days ago! Loving her. As with lots of low mileage models first issue already after 200km - limp home mode activated as probably the battery is not charging enough (according at Al Futtaim) so going in tomorrow to sort. Warranty is all confirmed.
  4. Will check prior to purchase, many thanks for the info. Will let you know how I get on.
  5. Hi. Yes the red one. Thanks for the heads up - most useful. It does say it has the dealer warranty still so I assume Al Futtaim are honouring it. Abu Dhabi will be fine for maintenance too. I was used to driving from Carlisle to Newcastle with the Elise! Also live in the south of Dubai so only an hour away.
  6. Very useful info. Where do you go for servicing when no dealer is here? Is there a decent independent for the non -Toyota parts? I’ve only been here 6 months (4 years in Doha where there was a dealer) so will have to form a group here once i’ve succumbed to the inevitable!
  7. Many thanks. I am a shorty (1.70) but wanted to put the bike on the roof. Am hoping being this short means my daughters (14 and 11) can fit in behind me. It won’t matter if they can’t as they’ll have to manage for the school run!
  8. Yes indeed. It does say Gulf spec. I have heard a few stories of some of the dashboard leather shrinking in the sunlight (in UK) but not sure if that is historical. The previous owner had it garaged and 3k a year - well, it will be getting that a month with me. My Elise had 4k on it at 2 years when I bought it and after 500 miles the first weekend the clutch overheated and jammed in (cured by silicone spray) so I will expect some challenges. Have been suffering a Honda Accord hire car for the last 4 months so getting desperate!
  9. Greetings all. Just joined up (though have had an S1 Elise since 2000). Now live in Dubai and have fallen in love with a 400 (2016) with 6K on the clock. Does anyone know how they cope in the heat? Was 44 degrees and a sandstorm today so am interested to know if the AC is up to the task and whether any bits perish quickly. It will have to live outside at home but parked underground at work. Also does anyone use a bike roof system that works reliably? This will be my daily driver and I would prefer to avoid borrowing my wife's car everytime I go to the bike track. Many thanks in advance.
