Troy5925 61 Posted November 14, 2020 Report Share Posted November 14, 2020 (edited) Where is the best place to get a replacement from? As I’m a new Evora owner can you also tell me what’s it taking air in for? Edited November 14, 2020 by Troy5925 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
122 10 Posted November 14, 2020 Report Share Posted November 14, 2020 It's not massively expensive from Lotus, I think it's no. 4 on here: https://www.deroure.com/diagrams.asp?TBL=12727&MAK=1&MDL=20&SMA=0&SMO=0&ST=&SC=0 It vents hot air from the manifold rather than taking cold air in.

Troy5925 61 Posted November 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2020 I did see number 4 but just wanted tocheck before ordering it so its just taking the hot air around the manifold area which kinda makes sense as the there is a glass window on the boot lid that can restrict the heat leaving the car ok ill go ahead and order it cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Troy5925 61 Posted November 25, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2020 Well that wasn’t the right ducting from deroure It probably needs to be 3 times longer Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bibs 11,728 Posted November 25, 2020 Report Share Posted November 25, 2020 TLF has had a Lotus Dealer account for over 10 years so we have access to the parts system for checking parts and stock etc. I stand corrected on the part number, I'm not sure where I got that other part number from now so have corrected my initial post.

Gold FFM Cdm2018 210 Posted November 25, 2020 Gold FFM Report Share Posted November 25, 2020 I recall someone replaced the hose with a coloured version and I just tried to search it but there were over 50 threads I am sure they purchased from eBay and it worked a treat ? I repainted mine as it had the white staining which I think is due to a A/C fluid spill or something ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
