Hi Mark keep up the good work, I like your pragmatic approach.
Hi Mark,
I just purchased a ''new'' Evora S 2015 from the dealership.
It's a 2015 model (5 years old) with only 80km (50 miles) so there is no warranty available.
I drove the car about 500km (310miles) and I noticed some type of clutch burning smell and/or rubber smell coming from the top driver side vent heat extractor hose. (Driver side: if you are in Canada… so left side).
Before driving the vehicle again, I am planning to change all fluid (including brakes/clutch fluid) since the car has been sitting in a garage for 5 years. (Do you have any idea what this burning smell could be?)
I was wondering if it's worth to upgrade the clutch system? Do you have any more issues with you clutch or do you have any other recommendations?
Thanks in advance,
Pascal
