Gold FFM C8RKH Posted November 28, 2020 Gold FFM Report Share Posted November 28, 2020 Which one do you use the most Barry and which was the last one that let you down?

Gold FFM Barrykearley Posted November 28, 2020 Gold FFM Report Share Posted November 28, 2020 Defo use the Evora more @C8RKH. It might be best not to ask which was the last one that let me down though - the bloody Evora has a flat battery - will unlock on the fob - but do you think I can get the boot to release to jump start or charge the bastard..... Started the esprit today - just to move it forward in the garage - started first flick of the key Quote Only here once Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold FFM C8RKH Posted November 28, 2020 Gold FFM Report Share Posted November 28, 2020 you can't blame the car for the numptiness of the owner. Put wife in the drivers seat, turn on, engage 2nd, and you push her to 10mph down the hill and clutch out. Put a white coat on and a frizzly white wig and you could be acting out a scene from Back to the future! Who knows where that role play may lead..... 1 Quote I came into this world screaming and covered in someone elses blood. I'll probably leave it in the same way.

Pull either MR1 or MR2, the 30A Main Fuses and connect the charger to the incomer from the battery by inserting a blade same size as the fuse blade to get charger on. (Presume you've tried the cable release for the boot?) 1 Quote Phil Leave me alone I know what to do - I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold FFM Barrykearley Posted November 29, 2020 Gold FFM Report Share Posted November 29, 2020 Cheers @phil flash - I’ll sort this tomorrow - I’ve not even tried to pull the release under the seat. I was more annoyed the boot wouldn’t release at the time - and simply used another car 👍 Quote Only here once Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruss Posted November 29, 2020 Report Share Posted November 29, 2020 Better to connect a spare battery to the front fuse board, pax side. DO NOT JUMP FROM HERE. Just connect to give power to the fob to open the boot. Then proceed as normal. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bravo73 Posted November 29, 2020 Report Share Posted November 29, 2020 Or, just pull the release under the seat! 🤣 (That’s what it’s there for). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gold FFM C8RKH Posted November 29, 2020 Gold FFM Report Share Posted November 29, 2020 It's one of those things no-one ever checks works, then, when they need it to, bitch like hell when it doesn't. 1 Quote I came into this world screaming and covered in someone elses blood.

phil flash Posted November 30, 2020 Report Share Posted November 30, 2020 First thing I did when I got mine was check it worked - it didn't but a bit of grease on the Bowden cable sorted it. Have checked it a few times since but not for a while so this topic is a good prompt... though hopefully I won't need it. I have to run a power cable across the drive to charge my Evora so don't leave it on a battery conditioner but have a Bluetooth Monitor that talks to an app on my phone and tablet so I can see when battery needs a boost when sitting in the lounge . Mine is a CTEK but cheaper versions are available on Amazon .. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Battery-Guard-6899-Black-40-25/dp/B00ZETXNAQ Quote Phil Leave me alone I know what to do - I think.

Popular Post jamesbilluk Posted December 22, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 22, 2020 Took my first proper drive in mine today, I've not had a car that gets this much interest! I had an i8 before this, that did seem to, but this is on another level. Interesting that it's all generations that seem to love it, particularly funny seeing kids tugging their parents coats to have a look! Certainly something to get used to... 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold FFM Popular Post JimUK Posted January 18, 2021 Gold FFM Popular Post Report Share Posted January 18, 2021 Three weeks in and so far I’ve had... First time I parked it in a car park a man walked across the entire car park just to say he loves the car. I’ve not been out yet where someone hasn’t stopped to stare or ask me something. Maybe it helps I drive with the exhaust open I guess 🤭 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold FFM Cdm2018 Posted February 11, 2021 Gold FFM Report Share Posted February 11, 2021 my job normally takes me around the country and I spent a couple of days in my home office however last 12 months lockdown means I have been working from home 5 days a week. so my office looks out on to the drive where my Evora is parked , I have watched people on their daily lockdown walks go past the car . I glimpse the look of people & wonder what goes through their minds ? Some look intensely at the badge , some look at side profile , some the head on stare. A few taken pictures , some look with some scorn and maybe jealousy ? Overall I think there’s a more positive smiling glances ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

au-yt Posted April 4, 2021 Report Share Posted April 4, 2021 I hade the funniest most enthusiastic reaction to my Evora’s driving home thought the south western part of Sydney and an Asian looking girl in a hotted up Holden V8 raced up behind me into the right lane and was waving frantically with double thumbs up all at 110ks. She then blasted past waving frantically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exeterjeep Posted April 9, 2021 Report Share Posted April 9, 2021 Went to Wickes yesterday to pick up a bag of concrete (only a small 10kg bag) , a number of people there had a look at it as a drove round the car park. No chance of getting 8x4 sheets of anything in the car. Also bought some petrol and a guy walking past the car said how good it looked, I think he could tell it was a lotus as he could read the badge on the front. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
