Thanks, good to know. I’ve dropped Silverstone (my localish dealer) a message so hopefully they can approve over the phone. At least it’s happened before the 3 years is up (although not by much!).

Thanks, as I suspected. Did they make you go in to diagnose before agreeing to fix it? I’m a way from my nearest dealer so it’s a right pain to have to travel for them to confirm what I already know to be the issue!

Afternoon all I’ve just gone for a drive and couldn’t understand why the windscreen wasn’t clearing as it was idling before I went out. Turns out I have no aircon, heating or fans. Nothing is coming out of the fans at all, no matter what setting I have on. I’m very aware of the issues with...

Thanks Kitkat. I’ve just read your instructions ok another thread 👍🏽 The car is hopefully going into the dealer soon as I appear to have a very small amount of water coming into the cabin via the drivers footwell after heavy rain or washing. It’s very slight and only a couple of drips come...

Great, thanks. Easy to sort or best to leave it to the experts?!

Evening all I’ve just jumped into the car and my drive selector has come loose, like really loose! I’ve attached a video. The drive selector no longer works but I can just about get it to show on the screen and the select via that. Has anyone had this issue? Easy fix? Would you expect it to...

Same issue here. Only happens when I'm listening to Audible though. No issue when listening to Apple Music, which does return to the previous volume. It's probably going to be one of those things that we just have to live with........

Thinking about it, this may be where mine went for the doors as well. I used M&A to sort a new rear diffuser and they had loads of Emira coming through for doors so I may have confused myself!

I spoke to the team over at M&A Coachworks and they have sprayed dozens upon dozens of of doors on Emiras for this issue. They take around 10 days with the car, but the issue is getting the doors from Lotus in the first instance!

Had mine done by Silverstone and very happy with the service given. However, worth noting that they don't actually do much of the work. It gets sent down to M&A Coachwork in Berkshire for spraying as they are a Lotus approved body shop. I'd guess most service centres will send the vehicle...

Yep, but that’s a problem for 2 years down the road 😂 By that point, it’ll also be out of warranty so I’ll have a look around at independent Lotus specialists (although not sure they’ll be that much cheaper!).

I’ve got a V6 and was recently fortunate enough to get the i4 as a hire car for a couple of days. The i4 was great - no hesitations / delays with gear changes using the paddles and quick off the mark despite being 40bhp lower than the V6. It actually felt a fair bit quicker than my V6 as it...

Had my second service carried out yesterday at Silverstone. As always, excellent service from the dealership. I paid £680 as they honoured the pre price increase price. I was told the new price for a 2nd year service is now £761 (if I recall correctly).

ASAIK, it’s not fully open in sport and track mode at idle (but does open up at lowish revs). For those that I know who have the controller, they all leave it open all the time (you can program to start fully open when starting on the car). This means it sounds much better upon switch on. The...
