I got my car back last night - they had the dash off to fix the AC issue. They say the creaking noise was due to a bolt on the steering rack that needed to be loosened and retorqued. Seems fine now but I'll keep this thread updated.
I have asked for details of which bolt.
I have exactly the problem, started a couple of weeks ago and the car went in to be looked at and they reported it was misaligned undertrays. Came back with a much reduced noise but it has just started again louder than ever. Due to go back in the shop at the end of next week.
Also had a new...
I had exactly the same on my car when it was new. Went away after about 500km and has not come back. Think it was just a passing issue. However, my dealer did get new TPMS sensors in just in case it didn't go away. Now at 2000km and not there at all
I'm also keen to hear about the Larini upgrade. I'm a bit underwhelmed with the Miltek option and there seems to be zero video or anything else to do with the Supersprint option.
Not just on early cars - some cars that were manufactured in January also had this issue. There were several cars that were in the first batch delivered to the UAE (March collection and Dec/Jan build) that had this issue that was found at PDI. Ask me how I know...
I feel like a an utter tool. Didn’t even think to check that. Thank you, I would have laboured on with various combinations of ignition and engine until my head popped
Has anyone figured out how to set the wipers to service position?

I also have the TMPS issue along with
Piece of trim broke off from the sun visor first time I moved it
No Nav option available in the infotainment
Driver seat creaks like a ship at sea
500km on the clock so far
I think the ship is due to dock 27/28 Feb and then hand over on or around 9thMarch. Mine is also on the same ship
Next delivery is about 3 weeks later and then first automatic cars are due in May. If you order today the car will be built May for a June/July delivery
My car is on a boat at the moment the Morning Champion. It set sail from Southampton and about to dock in Barcelona and due to arrive in Dubai on the 25th Feb.
I am also still in - just had my first test drive at the Lotus dealer in Abu Dhabi. Very happy with the drive and the car generally.
Deposit was placed July 2021 and just had it confirmed my car will be in the first batch of cars to reach the UAE and is in build now.
I am coming from a GT410...
Apparently a first build batch in September with a second in October. However, I have not heard anything since my letter from Lotus telling me I am in the October batch.
No updates on a demo car either - I think they ordered Auto only for the UAE which didn't work out too well so were trying to...
