    NC500 Tips

    Did it mid May this year - weather was stunning, and roads not too busy - happy to recommend places to stay - The Torridon was very good (see view attached)

    Withholding Ballon Payment

    CA have to provide a response within 8 weeks, which falls well before the payment is due. Have attached screenshot from FCA’s own website that clearly states that the finance provider is deemed to be the supplier, and is therefore responsible for the quality of the car.

    Withholding Ballon Payment

    Just to be clear, I have made an official complaint to CA, and threatened not to make the balloon payment (it isn’t due yet). They will now have to follow their complaints procedure, and provide me with a response, at which point I will have the option to go to FOS. I am not going to risk my...

    Withholding Ballon Payment

    I would imagine that if you’ve caused the warranty to be voided by modifying, that would be down to you.

    Withholding Ballon Payment

    Yes, my understanding is that the UK favours the buyer to a greater degree than in the US. The finance provider is on the hook for faults, alongside the manufacturer, and we have recourse to the FCA in disputes. Appreciate my position is weaker after owning the car for 2 years, and I’m not...

    Withholding Ballon Payment

    The balloon payment on my Emira is due next month. As a result, I have been in touch with my local Lotus SC to have the outstanding warranty issues sorted before making the payment. Unfortunately, I have been told that the warranty work (specifically blistered doors) is on hold due to backlogs...

    Thank you, that would be a good result, I was worried it was the clear coat delaminating 😬

    Poll for Those with Paint Blistering / Bubbling Defect

    Washed my April ‘23/10k miles Emira at the weekend and noticed some strange marks on the bonnet/front wings (6-8 spots in total, each the size of a small coin) which I hadn’t seen before. Am planning to take to my detailer for an opinion, but wondering if anyone here can advise what it might...

    Poll for Those with Paint Blistering / Bubbling Defect

    That’s interesting, as originally I understood both doors would be replaced, but on collecting found only the one with blistering had been swapped. It’s going back to Nottingham soon, as new door hasn’t been fitted well (panel gaps awful and whistling noise at 60 mph+) so will mention that...
