Hi everyone, I'm reaching out to ask if any fellow Emira i4 owners have successfully obtained the Certificate of Conformity (CoC). I purchased my Emira i4 from a Lotus dealer in Sweden, and when I contacted them about the CoC, they informed me that this request should be handled by Lotus...

Much appreciated! Sooner or later i'm going to have to remove this one! :-)

Hey, just to share — I’ve had exactly the same experience with my Emira i4 (M139 engine). The oil level reading on the dash isn’t 100% reliable, especially when you're looking at small differences like 200–300ml. It can fluctuate depending on oil temperature, how level the car is, and whether...
