Looking for a lotus expert mechanic in nj
HI, sorry I am not closer, but the mechanics are very easy for any good mechanic, if you get a workshop manual from a UK Lotus specialist (sjsportscars). they do all parts mailorder the manual is very detailed, if you have a standard model, if you have the US high spec most race shops can tune the engine

Where is the trunk release on the Lotus Evora S?
it is in and or under the back seat. put it toward the middle of the car. if not you will brake it and the truck will not close. So you might want to go to the dealer to find out if there is a fix now to get the cable replaced so if you try to open it the wrong way at least you can close the trunk

Evora. Where is manual trunk (boot) release button?
There is a manual trunk release that is inside the car near the rear seats. You must make sure to pull the release towards the tunnel/middle of the car, not out away from it. Apparently, a number of sales people have tried to demonstrate it and by pulling on it incorrectly, broke the inner workings leaving the trunk then incapable of latching closed. The repair is not simple. Something about the cable being encased in a tube that is not straight but curved, so that when you pull on it the wrong way, it breaks something. Lotus is redesigning that component.
Also note you may need someone to gently lift on the trunk as you pull the lever. It should be a yellow lever.

Engine light goes on than next day off
Normal operating temp for any car is 150-170 F, Your thermostat is set for these amounts, water boils at 220 F and coolant boils at 260 F, but the boiling of anything in there is not good, it creates pressure, something is going to give. Your radiator cap has a temp on it too, about 165. It will bleed off the pressure before it explodes. So, you can check your thermostat, they do freeze up, check your coolant, don't run straight water. and then check the inside of your radiator, they do clog up. Hope this helps.

How hard is it to change the serpentine belt in 2006 rendezvous
If the belt has fallen off there must be a problem. The don't just fall off of the car without assistance. With the belt off, check all of your pulleys to make sure they are turning properly. Then, get the manual for your vehicle and it will show you how to do this job :() Every car is different but all cars are the same generally and this is usually just a matter of putting the correct wrench into the tensioner to remove/apply tension and route the belt around everything in the proper direction.
There is usually a sticker in the engine compartment/hood area that shows the diagram of how the belt is routed.

My 2011 ram 3.6 liter v6 engine has 3 ignition coils w/spark pugs on driver side and just 3 spark plugs on passenger side. What is the cylinder order?
Dodge use a system called a "Lost Spark Ignition". Basically each coil fires two spark plugs on two different cylinders at the same time every time. One firing for the ignition stroke and the during the exhaust stroke on the other cylinder. Simply, a spark fired every other stroke on every cylinder. That means it only needs 3 coil packs on a V6 engine.
Your firing Order is 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. Cylinder numbers are set as Odds and Evens. Stand with the belts and pulleys nearest to you. The cylinders on the Left side are the Odd numbers and the cylinders on the Right side are the Even Numbers. The cylinder on the LEFT side nearest to you is number 1. The middle one is number 3 and the one furthest away is number 5. The cylinder on the RIGHT side nearest to you is number 2. The middle one is number 4 and the one furthest away is number 6.

How do you change the light bulb in a Mettler P1210
If you find screws or a latching mechanism, use the appropriate tool to open the compartment. It might be a good idea to wear gloves during this process to avoid any injury from broken glass and make sure the replacement bulb is the correct type for your scale.
