Getting fed up of this car...

Hi folks
Has anyone had issues with the lambda sensor? I seemed to be having an engine fault light that keeps coming up (this is the 3rd time now in less than 2 months). Both times it has been one of the lambda sensors. I've already had one replaced and this time another ones seems to have failed in less than a week.
Is it just me or is this a common issue?
Thanks

Well, took it to Castle yesterday and the fault is on the same sensor. They eventually rang Lotus to try and see what was going on and Lotus don't know at the moment either, so while the car is fine to drive, it seems I have a ongoing investigation issue. Maybe an issue with the cats... And not the purring kind...
If no joy there, then I'm going to push for another car from Lotus.

Is it the engine management light or the little spanner? If the spanner does it just come on and stay on for thirty secs or so, or stay on permanently? I once had a traction control problem with the spanner staying on permanently due to a faulty sensor...it took out the cruise control and sport mode with it. I currently have an issue with the spanner coming on for thirty secs upon start up, then going off. It does this fora few days, then goes back to normal and just comes on and goes straight off with the ingnition lights. Keep meaning to get it looked at. Have you had similar?
Its the MIL light which comes on permenantly. The ECU is reading a lambra sensor fault - which it always does - but it is not an issue with that sensor as it has been replaced a week or so ago and was tested again as fine.
With Lotus now for more investigation and will give them a chase on Monday.

Hi Alex, any joy with the MIL light? Mines just come on, engine sounds fine. How do you find out the fault code?

Apparently, the lambda sensors in the 2011 models have a design flaw. Still happens occasionally on mine, just ignore it now although I am looking into getting them replaced with the later 2012 version. Cheers P

My lights come back on again. Just ignoring it for the moment but will get it looked at when the snow clears, I'll ask about the ecu update too. On the upside the evora's handling the snow a lot better than the sagaris did!
Btw - you still got the Sag? If so, you going to Chatsworth this year? Be good to say hi and compare experiences Gassing Station | Evora | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
