    Scraping sound in front wheel wells in tight turns

    I`ve felt the same when starting in very cold weather. Guessed it was the Ackerman effect and the tyres being harder because of the weather. Also a I4, in the UK. Didn`t think about it more until your post so i`m happy that it`s not just me. Checked good old google and apparently it can be a...

    What things annoy you on Emira?

    The seats, not dropping low enough :(

    Has anyone installed Recaro Sportsters?

    Hi, thanks for update. I`m the same with wanting the to drop the seat height a bit and if i can avoid spending £££££££`s then i`d certainly look at it. Like the thought of the Recaros but haven`t seen what they do runner/height wise.

    Has anyone installed Recaro Sportsters?

    Dash Cam Install tips

    Have fitted my rear one to the glass with a fabricated bracket which gives it enough clearance from the glass itself. I`ll take a photo when i`m back home. 100% the glass to the rear screen would be the best but i was worried about the temperatures frying the camera or the wiring.

    Which are the good UK dealers?

    Good experience through Lotus Ashford, couple of issues found after collection day and all sorted without any drama or delay.

    Does your Emira have these fitted underneath in front of the wheels?!

    2.0 Uk, Bag of bolts?

    As ever, thanks for the quick replies and confirmation it is as it should be. I don`t mind it at all but took me by surprise I come from someone who put a deposit down on week 2 for a 2.0 and had a side visit to the factory courtsey of Scott to see if i fitted in a pre production model, which i...

    2.0 Uk, Bag of bolts?

    Hi Lotus collective, looking to the hive mind I`ve settled on a 2.0 version, i know i know but i need an auto and prefer the box of the 2.0. Question is, as i`ve not started many, do they all sound a bit like a bag of bolts for 5 seconds on cold start up? I`ve a golf R and it`s a smooth and...

    What issues are there with the I4 (if any) looking to buy

    Hi, I`m back after dropping out from the original deposit list and picked up a Ftype in the meantime while i waited for the 2.0 to be released. Looking again, it needs to be an auto so will either be a v6 auto or the i4, looking through autotrader at the moment. Re the i4, has there been any...

    Has anyone had finance through Lloyds bank??

    Lloyds is a funny system. Used them recently and looked at the car finance option. After finding my dealer wasn`t on the list i checked what the rate on a personal loan would be, just in case. It was cheaper so i went with that option.

    Emira at Brands Hatch - I’d say it has sufficient horsepower…

    Nice and some relatively clear runs. Brands is a funny place, i`ve seen people given a word or two for having the car squirming about like that. On other days it`s fine and you can get away with it. Ironically they suggest it`s a lack of control :ROFLMAO:

    I'm out - the cancellations thread

    That`s a good thought if they replied. The lad on webchat waited until i had sent the email and even confirmed receipt. Still nothing back, can`t say i`m that surprised. I`ll wait until it`s 21 days and get my solicitor to make contact with them, i can`t be bothered chasing them all over the...

    I hope you are not in a hurry. 2 weeks so far and they haven`t even acknowledged my email.
