  1. Have you tried browsing B&C online parts catalogue. It is a very useful resource. Mentioned here: https://www.lotustalk.com/threads/serpentine-belt-change-na.434313/
  2. Sounds like a sales pitch. My parents never had any - they treated it like gambling.

    Pilots

    Another Boeing plane - much older though. United Airlines flight 433 lands safely without panel in Oregon https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-68584134 The missing panel was next to the landing gear, on the underside of the aircraft, according to images of the aircraft on social media. All outgoing and incoming flights were paused at the airport to search for debris, none was found.
  4. Had to replace the screen wash level sensor on my gt430, as it did not like getting wet, caused the warning light to come on. To access it, I was at SWLC, and helped, as it needed the under tray removed, (so I helped hold it up while all the bolts were undone). And similarly when fitting it back on. Made it relatively easy as on a ramp. They expected the various spacers to fall off, but luckily they had been fixed in position, otherwise they fall off and are different sizes - so causing confusion putting them in the correct places. Looking at the parts diagram, it looks as if the pump is on the same side as the low fluid sensor. Sure some others must have done this.
  5. Premium Bonds are an investment product issued by National Savings and Investment (NS&I). Unlike other investments, where you earn interest or a regular dividend income, you are entered into a monthly prize draw where you can win between £25 and £1 million tax free. Wife has had bonds for almost 50 years and not one a penny.
  6. Myself and some school friends went with one of the fathers (he worked for BR) to Barry Island to see all the scrapped steam engines all lined up ready to be cut up, but I have since been told that they have all been saved. Good memories also of the IOW and Ventnor (town) station.
  7. Have had a number of phases of OO model railways, sold it off, bought some new stuff and sold it..etc.. Still go to the occasional toy fair to see if I can find anything interesting. A mate of mine, him and his late father had an O gauge track round their garden - including 1 live steam loco. Have still got some N gauge stuff and gone digital.
  8. If it went too fast into the wind it may have taken off.😃
  9. When I switched to my spare set of rims when my 430's original rims went in to be refurbed, the car seemed to recognise after about a mile or so, mine are of course the later spec. Generally the TPMS on my car does not come up with any errors even in cold weather - unlike those on the Evoque we have had.
  10. Is a consideration, also the type 134 should be announced at the end of this year - but not keen on an EV. I have the M100 which has better access but feels so old. I may end up going back to Jeep.
  11. Well the wife only has 1, I have 4 but she is not keen on me getting any more. Did say to her she could buy a spare ( of my choice of course..) But will have to consider switching out of the Evora to something a little easier to get out of, possibly later this year.
  12. Actually this is the wife's unhappy thread. booked her Evoque into JLR for a warranty check/work required, sales guy says we would get a courtesy car of a similar type ..... arrived early as asked, sat and waited for over 30 mins others got booked in, then went out with the mechanic to listen to the noise. He agrees an issue probably wheel bearing - car only done 4k since we got it new last year. He advises not to drive it and they will put it on a ramp to check etc. Service lady asks if there is an extended warranty - pointed out to her it is only 8/9 months old so in the 3 year one!. No courtesy car available for 6 weeks (had we not booked one was what she asked..) She will see if she can get a hire car sometime - just wait to se if she gets a manual - as wife has not driven a manual for many years.. Mechanic says they do not hold the possible spares in stock. I expected a hassle so I took one of my run around cars down anyway so I knew we could get home. Just wait until she sees the sales guy again.
  13. Think each dealer/retailer is expected to have a stock ready for 'instant' delivery (16 seems excessive though) , so if someone comes into the showroom then they can pick one up quickly if they do not care too much about the exact spec. If you try going into a JLR dealer expect to wait sometime for a car in a spec you want and the Eletre is a better bet for a company car. Hendy Exeter have a few, thought they were selling up to 3 a week. (may include Emira) Will have to see how the monthly UK registration stats progress through the year. And eventually howmanyleft will pick up the stats of the cars in use etc. There are a number of folks waiting to test drive the Emeya having paid a deposit.
  14. There are a number of threads on here and lotus talk, the later cars (ie 4xx) used different parts. There are alternatives to the part bibs lists as it a standard widely used type.
