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

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...

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 😬

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...

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...

FYI, my Emira was April ‘23 delivery. P/S door replaced by Nottingham Lotus recently after blistering. They said likely that D/S door will also suffer blistering at some point but confirmed Lotus won’t replace until the defect presents. However, they did confirm (in writing) 5 year warranty...

I like your optimism, but in my case at least it hasn’t been that straightforward. My car went in in October for two new doors, and several other issues to be rectified. Some issues were fixed, but not all, and even came back with a new issue which developed whilst with Lotus! Only one door was...

I’m so pleased with my Emira that I decided not to proceed with my 992.1 T, and had my deposit back - I’m sure I’m not alone, so this combo definitely being cross shopped!

Thanks for this Is there a specific email address/phone number for the warranty team, or do I have to go through LCC?

No, I haven’t been doing this - tbh I have had Porsches previously, so not something I’ve had to consider!
