Personally I wouldn’t want to drive the car on mixed tyres as they will behave differently esp under extreme conditions, eg emergency stop or a swerve to avoid a collision, esp in the wet. I’d get 2 new Goodyears fitted and keep the old Goodyear as a spare incase of another puncture. The Falcon...

In my case, I first had this msg when I retaxed the car in April. Sometimes the warning would appear, sometimes not, and I never had this error in the first year of ownership. I spoke to Rybrook Bristol and booked the car in for software updates which they said would cure it, and it did. The...

Wow, to what happened but also that you have so many dealers within 30 miles - way more than in the UK 🤪

Mine went in last week and had 5 updates since its service in Sept 24. 2 of the updates were to resolve the Reduced Telematics mode and also cure the non start issue which had started becoming more frequent. All is good so far.

Another successful visit to Rybrook Bristol today for software updates. I booked it in mainly for the well known non start issue and random engine management light on. Thought they may need it over night as I have heard some of these updates can be quite lengthy but it was done in under 4 hours...

For my 2 warranty claims on my 2nd Emira it was my dealer, Rybrook Bristol, who sorted a courtesy car. Whether they did this via customer care, I don’t know, but thankfully I just dealt with Rybrook who have been excellent.

Deal direct with your dealer who should then raise a warranty claim direct with Lotus. PM sent

I’ve sent you a PM

Last year my premium increased by £100+ to £516 and this years renewal came through at £416, so was reasonably happy with that. Thought I would spend a few mins on a comparison website and the quotes came back starting from £250 😳 So I rang Adrian Flux about my renewal, told them I wasn’t happy...

Yes, it’s in the settings menu and detailed in the manual. Mine used to auto connect and then I found the menu!

My renewal came through today at £416 with Adrian Flux, down form £516 last year and pretty much matches my first year premium. That for 6k miles, garaged and full ncb. I will still shop around a little though.

I had this but mine was caused because dealer had to take the panel off to sort the seat electrics. The panel never stayed fitted for long after that so they replaced it with a new one, which sorted it.

If I was buying now, I would look for a lightly used one at about £25k less than new and maybe slightly compromise on your ideal spec, some of which you maybe able to change later. Jon Seal is selling a lovely Nimbus car at £61k with less than 2k miles on. I’ve got 7k miles on mine and love it...

The screen was delayed a little but arrived last week and I had it fitted today. Very happy the the fitting team at NW Bristol, totally oem look and spotless.

I’ve done 7k miles in mine now and no ppf. The worst area of stone chips I have is drivers side rear wing area which seems to catch stones from oncoming vehicles on b roads an also from the front wheels. Mine is Nimbus, so they don’t show up too much but on Magma, Verdant etc you would see it a...
