my evora is running on 3 cylinders.
i've changed the plugs, coils etc, cleaned everything and once it warms up it just cuts cylinders 1, 3 & 5!
any ideas?

Can't help but there is quite a few posts on Lotus Talk with similar issues. Worth checking all the engine connectors especially throttle body. Good luck.

ok when i remove the pre cat o2 sensor the car runs on all 6 cylinders and no fault codes come up other than the one indicating that the o2 sensor is inactive. no misfire codes at all.
solution new o2 sensor perhaps

Do you think they'll have Evora cruise control modules too?
Craig has been tearing out what hair he still has, trying to extract one from Lotus for me

Worrying if Lotus cannot supply parts. Whats wrong with the cruise control?

What's wrong is it has not been fitted
But is part of the deal to buy it.
Craig is doing his level best - and beyond - but that's 6 weeks now.
Sorry for thread hijack

Stop press. Moncrieff Magic - or thumbscrews - just deployed, and parts are shipping this week.
Amen.
Hijack closed. Thanks.

You do realise that it means a single Evora 400 will now be having the "cruise delete" option

Cruise Delete - priceless.
