    Second service cost

    HQ are telling me that as I bought the car second had the price isn't honoured and only applies to cars that were purchased directly, which makes zero sense as the website doesn't indicate that and don't really see what the difference would be. The person wasn't very helpful when I explained...

    Second service cost

    Hi there, About to take my car in for its second service and the dealer (Bristol) is quoting me £780 plus VAT. The Lotus website indicates it should be £680 including VAT. https://www.lotuscars.com/en-GB/aftersales/fixed-price-service - now I now that the website isn't exactly kept up to date...

    Planning Japan visit Dec/Jan - need help from locals

    If car related means hiring a decent car then I rented a Nissan GT-R from these guys back in 2019 and drove it to Hakone and the surrounding areas (there were no restrictions on usage) https://www.omoren.com/en there weren't a lot of options back then so it might be worth having more of a look...

    Poll for Those with Paint Blistering / Bubbling Defect

    I've just had the doors replaced and PPF reapplied after a few months wait. The job looks great, you really can't notice. I was really worried about getting a match on the DV metallic paint. The car was away for a month in total. Had to go back today to get the driver door adjusted up slightly...

    Poll for Those with Paint Blistering / Bubbling Defect

    I was in the same boat - I thought it was going to be a battle but was just accepted. I had to submit them a copy of the bill to prove the type of PPF used. They will be fitting the same as part of the repair by the local dealers preferred PPF company.

    Emira Car Covers

    So it turns out that the place I got mine from has actually got them back in stock finally and it is on its way -typical. The one above from @frazzer is a good deal for someone who is a bit closer than me though.

    Emira Car Covers

    Does anyone have any pictures of the outdoor cover from https://www.classicadditions.com on their car? I asked them but they didn't have - the nearest they had was an Evora cover, but the fit looked pretty loose around the windows so was wondering if the Emira one was more tightly fitting. I'd...

    Infotainment starts up when opening door or hatch

    For android at least the option isn’t in the car settings, it is in the android auto app. So you have to connect your phone to the car then in the app menu where you see all the app icons, click on the settings option then under start-up mode turn off start music automatically.

    Arch Guards / Mudflaps - anyone have these installed?

    Not exactly 100% relevant but I had their M2 ones and they worked great as that car machine gunned stones onto the rear quarters, made a noticeable difference and were pretty subtle (on a black car)

    For the drivers... Porsche Roads app

    Harry Metcalfe mentioned in a video a short while back an app called calimoto - it is built for bikes apparently but he was using it in a car. He starts talking about it at around the 13 minute mark then also talks about it later. I've not used it but have installed in on android and put in a...
