I don't have red leather in my interior, but if this helps, attached is a photo showing the Banco red leather fob case, against the exterior Vivid Red color. Presumably the interior leather matches Vivid Red. The fob isn't a perfect color match but I like it a lot and have been using mine for...

Agree with Kaz that a replacement battery is likely the easiest thing to try, although did the dealer test the other components? The shifting from 8th to 4th is concerning... To avoid you buying a new battery, would the dealer "lend" you a replacement one, to try out a few days? If it works...

There are several threads on the Forum dealing with OBD2 scanners. I bought a scanner, sent it back, then bought another more expensive. It worked good for my Mercedes and my spouse's Volkswagen Atlas SUV and had better diagnostics compared to the first cheaper one...but didn't work well at all...

First off, hopefully this is related enough to the original intent of this thread, to be on topic. Secondly, I understand the comments and respect the opinion of Steve24 and I've known many who express that view. Next, I've always done much of my own "spannering" (work on vehicles) so take my...

Looks like you're wanting a response from someone in the UK. Until then, here's what I use in Canada over the winter months (it works well) with my Emira: the C-TEK MXS Battery Charger, SKU: 40-206. I found it for sale on the UK eBay site and suspect you'll find it elsewhere in your area. On...

TY and yes, I'm on the left. I'm now using my aftermarket Aerie V2 rims on my OEM GoodYear summer tires that came with the car. The car is now set up for track use and those rims save about 25 lbs of weight (all 4 rims). I'll put on my OEM rims that came with the car (shown in my profile pic)...

Had fun yesterday morning: for the first time in my city of just over one million people, and after 15 months, I saw another Emira and wouldn't you know it, its owner had excellent taste in exterior colors (lol). We met with the help of his son, who saw my car and I at a car wash, a couple...

Welcome to the Forum and good luck finding someone local to talk to and good luck buying your Emira. "Emira issues:" there are plenty of Forum postings easily found by searching "problems" but below is one I think quite informative...

Like any vehicle, the Emira is designed to withstand the elements (rain/wind/etc.) so there's no need to worry about it being subjected to "heavy rain". Any water entry into the engine area (there shouldn't be much), will usually drain w/o hurting anything and the car is designed for that. That...

My V6 manual "hill hold" works just fine, on steeper grades, as others have mentioned. One thing I now routinely do: when stopped on a steeper incline, with clutch in and pedal brake pressed, just before I go forward, I'll briefly "punch it" (accelerate; taking my foot off the brake pedal) to...

On a more constructive note, talk to your dealership to see what may have happened, involving water, when they replaced the driver side door. It sounds like that's in the works. It seems too coincidental, that they replaced the door and you're then left with water on that side/area. If you're...

I'm curious to know if MiamiBlue's VIN tells him it's sport suspension, like his observed physical set-up...OR if not only the physical set-up is wrong (not as ordered), but the VIN matches what he ordered and says the car has touring suspension . Over to you MiamiBlue (lol; it rhymes...you know...
