In the UK preferably, anyone with experience of the quality and colour match for Nimbus, which I believe is paint code M504.

I had my telematics update done in May with 4 other software updates and it’s been perfect since.

Just why would you do that to an Emira, don’t see any point in it at all. If you want the Lambo look, then buy one. Now if someone came up with a Targa, or sun roof option, then I could see some point in that. It’s not like the existing doors don’t work and I can only see disadvantages to...

As per my post above, you can get the newer vents with mesh included for about £45 each side, but you can’t buy just the mesh. I think I’m going to buy the newer vents with the mesh as I have now found out what a PITA removing the diffuser is. I did this last week and removed all 22 bolts but...

If your car doesn’t shift well, it will be the linkage which can be adjusted. My first Emira to the one I have had now for 2 years are miles apart in terms of gear change quality. Currently on 10k miles and it’s a super smooth and fast gear change. I have not done any adjustments at all, as it...

Thanks, every day’s a school day !

I’ve just taken the diffuser off to get rid of 2 years worth of leaves , grit and other debris and I noticed the underside of the silencer if very sooty as is the silver heat protection. Having wiped the silencer clean I could see 3 small drilled holes, started the engine, and sure enough...

I seem to have collected loads of leaves which collect at the back of the car near the exhaust exits and are tricky to get out without taking the under trays off. I presume they are mainly coming in through the main side vents in the rear clam. I believe the latest cars have modified grills with...

I’ve been very happy with the service from Rybrook Bristol who are also Lamborghini, McLaren and Maserati agents. Their Main Lotus Tech, Nick, is very knowledgable and happy to tell you exactly what he has done / found on your car. I’ve had a couple of warranty fixes, seat trim and fix a trim...

Ask the dealer to provide you with the ecu printout which will show the revs that have been used and how long at each rev level.

To test for slipping clutch, drive the car in a high gear, ie 4th or above at fairly low revs, find an incline, and then press the throttle. The car should just accelerate normally, but if the clutch is slipping you will see and hear the revs rising, but the car won’t pick up any speed, or...

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.
