me too! it's £7.50 for the lotus mega fuse! the parts guy's will try and sell you the full wiring harness for £120+vat but craig can get you the fuse itself for less than a tenner!

That's a relief. Stop praising MMC! I am trying not to look at the blue evora!

Sounds like a couple of spare £7.50 fuses may be worth carrying in the car for any Evora owner. :idea:

have to say i'll be buying more than one of them tomorrow.

after spending days ripping the car to bits looking for the fault - to find it like 6" away from the battery lead makes me feel just that little bit silly. especially as i've disconnected and then reconnected the battery like a dozen times over the weekend
