20th July No preference but if you need one then Grounds ref plenty of parking

Happy to roll along. Mostly available after 21st June.

Hi. I haven’t read thru to see whether what I’m about to write has been covered but I’ve a similar issue and have been advised it’s a known issue being worked on. Fix is to (I couldn’t believe it either) open and shut drivers door twice then lock and unlock car twice using fob. Looking forward...

Hi. I’ve no idea if this is the same as your issue but I’ve had a weak start from my car from shortly after purchase. It feels like it’s a battery/cranking issue with engine not turning over and typically takes second go to get started. I had put it down to the battery as the car had come from...

Hi. I still haven’t discovered whether there is anything on the vehicle denoting build date. But I contacted Lotus Customer services (Finance actually) and they provided the date that the car was “released to sales” which corresponds to end of build. Might be worth a call. Hope that helps.

Just spotted this late so you may have cleared this up. I have a F82 M4 competition, so the precursor to the G series, and have a Emira coming in a couple of weeks. I will be keeping the M4. I’ve only had 3 hours in the Emira on test drives so have a limited insight. That said I really don’t...

Thanks to everyone who contributed to this thread. Your votes and feedback have made me feel more comfortable about my prospective purchase and so I’m pressing ahead. Taking delivery at the end of the month and looking forward to some great driving and a (hopefully) positive ownership...

Thanks for your help. I’ve been told that it’s not on any door frame sticker on this UK car. Perhaps an owner in the UK has spotted the information and can advise the location.

Thanks. I need to learn to start with a more open question! I don’t suppose you know whether the build date is identified on the car itself or in any documents that come with it?

Does anyone know which characters (if any) denote the month and year of a vehicle build from the 17 character VIN code?

Thanks for welcome. You are clearly smitten and enjoying the benefits ownership. I’m still trying to figure out whether I could make the adjustments you are making for those failings. Do you mind sharing the build date of your car? I ask as you’re a fairly recent joiner to the forum and I...

Thanks for taking the time to reply. Bit of background to the question. I don’t think what I’ve owned recently could be qualified as sports cars in the true sense but my last cars over 20 years have been an S2000, Z4M, F Type and currently M4comp. Always manual transmission, typically sorted...

Hello. Just joined the forum. I’ve recently placed a deposit on an unregistered car listed on the Lotus website. Advised it was built in June 23 so I was hoping early built issues would have been resolved and the car updated accordingly. The car is due for delivery end of month (May24). Having...
