    Losing my mind trying to find what is rolling around on hard turns

    I had that on my Elise for a few months. It was a ballpoint pen under the passenger seat.

    Toyota for check engine light?

    Got the BlueDriver ODB2. Holy cow! ordered it on Amazon at 10am, it was delivered by 3pm. 5 hour turnaround! Crazy. Pissed me off setting it up - I had to create an account and give them an email address, that they had to verify, and it needed my location services enabled .... seriously...

    Toyota for check engine light?

    Will it tell me codes, or do I need a reader?

    Toyota for check engine light?

    Did my first oil change at 1500 miles. Next day got a check engine light Question 1: any ideas?. Oil level is good. Question 2: can Toyota diagnose this? Lotus dealer is 2 hours away, so don’t want to invest a round trip if I don’t have to.

    3rd round of Redundancies at Lotus 😞

    It'd be nice if assembly continued in England, but I'm more concerned that Emira production continue somewhere, even if it is in the US. I think that car is a real contender to the 911, or even the 718 GT4.

    Fixing a flat tire

    There are options out there for plug/patches, essentially patches that have a plug molded in to them that are the best option, but get applied from the inside, but there are also options (never tried it myself) that are a plug with a button head, that can be inserted from the outside via a...

    Silencing seat belt warnings

    It seems that stupid little compartment forward of the shifter is for a phone. It is slim enough I can't get my hand all the way in, so if you put something small in there, you need to pull the rubber tray to be able to reach it, but for just the phone it works. Someone also 3D printed a piece...

    Lotus halt all delivery to the US.

    Tariff is levied on the value of the car on the dock, which is the price Lotus UK sells it to Lotus US, plus shipping. This is less than dealer cost, as Lotus US add a margin.

    Cracking noise - maybe from speaker?

    Definitely sharper than air pressure. My first impression was some sort of static electric charge that gets grounded through the amp when I open the door. It's the kind of thing I would expect a serious car company to address if it is a known issue. But I guess if you are teetering on...

    Cracking noise - maybe from speaker?

    Seriously? This is a known issue? Is there a solution, or at least a known cause?

    Cracking noise - maybe from speaker?

    Occasionally, I'll unlock the car, and open the door, and just as I open it, there is a single 'crack' noise. Sounds like from behind the driver's seat. It sounds like a spark went through the amplifier and caused a speaker to pop. I can't make it happen, and it does not always happen...

    Lotus halt all delivery to the US.

    I have since solved the key attachment issue, and have offered to send people in the US two sets for $5. Key Ring
