So what will it be??????

Good to know! I use mine as a daily driver and so far haven't had any of the production issues reported on this forum, thankfully!

Some interesting observations posted on 'Hethel to South of France' thread by a new owner which I thought I would share on here. According to Lotus factory collection - 1. the best way to avoid gremlins is to drive it lots as soon as possible; 2. advised to keep the KEF audio at half volume...

Precisely why I love it too on my SG!

Can anyone recommend some great driving roads in the South East that aren't taken up by road works and speed restrictions :mad:

I agree the tan looks great with the Dark Verdant and Nimbus... and Meridian Blue in my opinion!

@Jack Stone hoping you can bring your Emira along to this meet up!

Not me

As far as mine goes, March 2023 build and delivery a trim tether part [vehicle safety recall] windshield wiper motor replacement [vehicle non-safety recall]

Apart from the recall-related issues my Emira has had zero issues - March 2023 build

Are they silver wheel nuts or black ones to match the black wheels on the Emira? I imagine you want them to colour match with the black wheels if you're also worried about any dust showing...

I will be there with my shadow grey Emira. See you then!

Sadly I can't make this weekend but I will be at Peterley farm on Sunday 10th September at 10am with my shadow grey example. If anyone would like to have a look and has any questions. I will be there an hour or so so come along... the more the Emerrier!

I would say report it your local dealer who should be relaying it to Lotus HQ. I have done this already on others behalf. My local dealer said he would raise it with them and also confirmed he does look at the forum from time to time and had heard of it even though none of his customers had...

Quick update: I took my Emira in for a new wiper motor yesterday, and it's now working fine. Got them to also check the oil level after 2500 miles and it was fine, they also completed a health check and there were no issues. I mentioned the hill-hold issue and cold-start stalling to them after...

that useless car key presentation box most probably

and the turbo only kicks in around 3000rpm I think Harry said

The engine surround looks awesome! Where did you get it done and how much if you don't mind me asking? I'm also based in Sussex and fancy getting the same done.

I got this email too, and it's good to see these cars are being held at their pre-August prices for anyone that's interested.... I collected my Emira in March and was one of the lucky ones to have the price protected.

I will be at Peterley farm on Sunday 10th September at 10am with my shadow grey example if anyone would like to have a look and has any questions, but I can only stay for an hour. Other Bucks Emira owners also welcome, the more the Emerrier!

I also received the same letter this morning

Excellent summary, many thanks for this! Enjoy the rest of your road-trip :-)

I'm enjoying your road-trip posts so far and looking forward to following the rest of your journey with interest, but what are the practical things you had to do to prepare for your trip to France - is there a driving abroad checklist you can post on this thread that the rest of us can follow? :)

The exact same spec as me.. I too love the metallic blue fleck in the SG. An elegant choice sir!

This will undoubtedly get some deposit holders blood boiling!! What are you going to do... or do you have yours already or one on order?

I've often wondered why all the quitters are still on here bemoaning their lot, haven't they got better things to do...and other cars to buy!!! Or perhaps deep down they regret their decision, and choose to go on bashing the Emira to make themselves feel better ;)

Appreciate the heads up! My recall is booked for August 9th at Caffyn's MG & Lotus in Ashford, Kent. I will make sure to check it over properly before heading back!

That's a good point! I opted to collect from my local dealership who have been good at keeping me updated. For all those owners that opted for factory collection who's making sure that you're 'in the know'?

Your guess is as good as mine! It maybe just a UK-wide issue🤞

Sure, March 29

Just been emailed by Caffyns MG & Lotus in Ashford, Kent, to book me for a new wiper motor.... and airbag tethers apparently! Anyway they're currently looking at a 4-5 week lead time on recall parts so I'm told.

I do the same thing and have never had a problem connecting. I have a spare cable in the arm rest and connect my iPhone as soon as I start the engine.

Love the spec!

Unfortunately I can't make this one either, so will look out for the next one!

It is the motor, I recently had this confirmed by Lotus Sussex, my nearest dealership. I am expecting to hear about a recall anytime now to replace the faulty motor.

Sorry I couldn't make it on Sunday. Just to say that I have a Shadow Grey example which I can bring to the next one!

I can't make this weekend, but will join the next one....I'm a Bucks boy and I know Peterley farm shop well!

2000 miles on the clock and not a single issue apart from the wipers.... I know that I'm one of the lucky few but I wouldn't change a thing to add to the Emira experience! 😁
