    Drive selector has come loose

    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...

    Drive selector has come loose

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

    Drive selector has come loose

    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...

    Carplay volume glitches with driving directions

    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........

    Poll for Those with Paint Blistering / Bubbling Defect

    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!

    Poll for Those with Paint Blistering / Bubbling Defect

    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!

    Poll for Those with Paint Blistering / Bubbling Defect

    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...

    Second service cost

    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!).

    I4 Vs V6

    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...

    Second service cost

    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).

    Exhaust upgrade on v6? You need to know this (real life experience and Lotus dealership input)

    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...

    Exhaust upgrade on v6? You need to know this (real life experience and Lotus dealership input)

    I've done the 3rd cat delete and it transforms the car. I also added the Milltek valve controller, but the impact of the valve open or OEM is limited in my view. I'm convinced this is because of the cat delete and if the valve controller was the only mod, I'm sure it would make a bigger...

    Paint chip paint correction

    I got mine from these guys but via their eBay shop - I had to reach out to them to request the colour as it wasn't shown anywhere on their website. https://firanto.com/ Mine was for a verdant green Emira and the match was very good judging by the the small stone chip the detailer sorted...

    Poll for Those with Paint Blistering / Bubbling Defect

    I was coming here to say exactly this. The reality is, no one knows the definitive answer to exactly what causes the issue. However, I (and others) have been told that the issue is with the panel themselves and that sanding and re spraying will not sort the problem. We’ve also been told that...
