    Emira insurance - best and worst UK insurers/quotes

    I just got a renewal notice, +70% on last years price. Insurance is a cartel.

    Stock car already looks like it's faster, more powerful than it actually is :LOL:. This makes it look like you have 600bhp+

    Anyone seen Nimbis/Ice combo in real life?

    Saw this combo this morning at Bell and Colvill, looked nicer in person than the photos, great combo in my opinion. I'd go black calipers with it, the one I saw had yellow.

    Feeding cable from USB socket to trinket tray

    You're very welcome. Use a strong glue to wrap the Alcantara - worth doing a little test on some scrap first to see what works best. I used carpet tape which is not doing a great job to be honest, it's lifting and need to get around to redo it.

    Dark Verdant Lotus Emira Photo Thread

    Something a bit different. I shot these on film, but something went wrong when I developed the film and I got a weird solarisation effect. No funky photoshopping, literally just trying to pull out as much as I can from the scans of the negatives and a digital little dodge and burn and split...

    Cold start stalling

    I've done 3000mi+ in a Feb '23 delivery and never had this issue...until now. Stopped to fuel up a few days ago, engine was warm having done 30mi or so, but the car wouldn't start when I was ready to set off. Dash lights come on, and I hear a tick as I attempt the start but that's it. A myriad...

    Poll for Those with Paint Blistering / Bubbling Defect

    My passenger side door has has blistering for a few months. But the past few weeks I've noticed it come up on the drivers side too and the passenger side has gotten worse. Official delivery was Feb '23, though I picked it up in May. Hopefully get B&C it sort it early 24.

    Poll for Those with Paint Blistering / Bubbling Defect

    I have blistering on my passenger side door (RHD). Reported it but need to follow up with B&C. A new door would have to be installed perfectly to ensure the gap is even all around and the window line matches up. Notoriously tricky in some cars - I don't know about the Emira. But a sand and make...

    Emira Issues - from final production cars

    After around 4 months of ownership I have paint bobbling on the passenger side door Does anyone else have this? Hard to capture in a photo - more obvious in a video which I might post later

    Emira Issues - from final production cars

    I’m getting “Key Not in Car” quite often. Sometimes I have to exit and re-enter and then try find the best spot in the cabin to get it to pick up the key. Got my Emira in May, the key battery should not be anywhere near flat. Anyone else getting this?

    📓 Journals People's reaction to your Emira

    Only in France 😁 Reminds me of an EVO article where the Gendarmarie pulled the reviewer in an F40 over and asked to be taken for a drive. He then kept pressing him to drive it faster and faster. Brilliant and unimaginable in the UK.

    Lotus to cut 200 jobs as a result of disappointing 2022 sales and £145m losses

    Just confirms there are a lot easier ways to make money than to build and ship sports cars, it's a tough and business riddled with external and internal risks. Aston Martin's losses doubled in 2022 to almost £500m. They are also talking '23 up as there turn around year. I wish Lotus well...

    Hi from Wales

    B4391 Bala to Ffestiniog is an incredible road. Its worth continuing it onto the B4410 on to Garreg and pick up the A4085 We took the coastal roads southwards and were not disappointed. Mostly the A496 switching to the A493 after Barmouth. A little east of Barmouth off the A496 there's the...

    Caterham EV

    needlessly fussy front end to my eye and odd how the line of the side window appears to rise higher than the front windscreen vs the continuity of the MC20's window profile

    Spotted: Emiras seen in the wild

    My dealer removed the black lettering on my DV and replaced it with silver. Looks perfect, no damage done. However this was around 3 weeks after delivery so paint had longer to cure. That may have helped.

    Emira Issues - from final production cars

    at this rate, by next week i won't be able to hear the supercharger over the rattle. Still, you're right, best left to the dealer when I'm next there.

    Emira Issues - from final production cars

    Entire panel to the lower right of the steering wheel is loose and rattles a lot when driving. There’s about 7-8mm of play in there and pushing it back doesn’t fix anything. Not sure how to resolve this. It’s just worked loose over the past few weeks and is getting worse Bit nervous to remove...

    Wiper speed issue

    I’ve installed the silicone wipers. As a reminder I have PPF protection on the windscreen. The OEM wipers shudder across the screen when dry or not sufficiently wet, it takes a very wet screen to avoid this. In practice this makes the wipers very difficult to use on auto. I’m literally...

    Wiper speed issue

    Well I measured the blades, 23" and 25", 2 of the hardest sizes to find. The Evora is 2 x 26". I'm going for 23" + 24" Silicone wipers to save 1" worth of weight

    Wiper speed issue

    Don't even notice it's there tbh. I gets drying stains from rain more than glass and these are harder to clear.
