just had my doors replaced through warranty due to the dreaded blisters on each side. Had an interesting chat with the service manager who said that there was no treatment internally on the earlier cars (Mine was Jan/Feb 23 build) but the new panels now all come treated/painted internally, I...

I was an early build that had the modified resistor pack and water channel modification fitted, alas today the Aircon failed again, this is the 3rd failure, car is in for new doors in a couple of weeks due to blisters so they will look at it again then. I did manage almost 5 months with no...

I passed 5000 miles last week, collected on 31st Mar 23 Had almost every launch car issue going including long stints with it being off the road un-useable (Still waiting on new doors for blistering) However love the car and its now being used as my daily as intended when I bought it (Now the...

Each to their own but I think that looks awful

How do you find the clearance with the front splitter, any speed bumps/kerb clearance problems?

Just ordered the same for my Magma Emira 😎

Dam, some people put a lot of thought into buying their Emira/cars Like all my toy's I wanted it, could afford it so I bought it, deprecation is the downside to buying almost any car so I ignore it. In my head I am not making a financial investment decision but an acceptable expense that I can...

Dam, wish it was 0% when I got mine 😢 My interest rate is 8.9% for the PCP, which was an increase from the original rates they were offering, that increase was a hit for the delay in getting the car delivered late as well 😮

Thanks for the heads up 👍🙂 I think at the moment my Emira is on the most recent update as its always going to the dealer for one thing or another 🤔 If it happens again I will ask them if there is a newer update to put on the car. Nellie

Sensors were okay, following the self-reset a month ago it has not repeated its alarm condition so I can only assume it might have been a temporary glitch. Thanks Nellie

The i4 will likely become the easier car to manage and produce for new EU emissions but if it was really all that Lotus would have used it as the basis for its motorsport programme. Whilst the i4 engine is cheap to tune I don't know if Lotus got the version with the uprated block (Does anyone...

I may or may not have made an implication, however its called banter hence the winking and laughing emoji!!! , looks like I touched a nerve! Chill out 🥶 My point still stands that the choice should be there in the range for drivers who prefer to have and use a manual! I will refrain from a...

Godfrey is the guy to speak with, he has been really helpful 👍🙂

So as a V8 Esprit and V6 Emira owner, my take: 1. because its a 4 cylinder, the V6 is the premium in the range according to Lotus pricing 2. because its a 4 cylinder 3. True but the on road performance of the i4 comes from its gearbox shift speed benefit rather than BHP, however I personally...

Hi Gooner, I went via Lotus Silverstone who are just up the road from me, they surveyed the car to check for any sign elsewhere, photographed the issues and then processed the claim on my behalf. Nellie
