Sounds pretty typical. I too had an Audi Ultrasport (Brilliant Red '05), & it took even longer to heat up than the Evora. A/C knob on full cold works very well here in TX heat...one click down & it makes a noticeable difference in cold air temp intensity though.I sure hope the A/C works a lot better when the time comes!!
I have the same situation with the dial. That drives me crazy too. Just to clarify...I too drive the car as much as possible and would never leave it running in the garage to warm up. I was saying that I actually have heat in the garage that I keep set at 45 degrees. I do this mostly to keep my "55 from freezing up but it should help "warm up" the lotus.Mine has a funky thermostat dial too. I get 3 clicks of full cold, 3 clicks of full hot and no man's land in the middle. Sitting in a garage idling is no way to warm up a motor. Get it out and drive it!! running thru the gears at 4000-5000 rpms works just fine and NO! it doesn't harm the motoer. They put the red light there on purpose so you keep the rpms reasonable when engine is cold. Within 5 minutes you'll have heat. This comes from a CT driver that had his car out till December in the teens a few mornings.
Well, now that pre-senile (Halfheimer's?) mind is focused on the seats, I'm glad for them, with this morning in the high 30's......I know, I know veritable tropical compared to your neck of the woods, but they do feel nice now! I'm willing to let them go but wife said Nooooooooo!SCV,
Obviously you don't need those heated seats maybe we should work out a trade!!!![]()
