    Parking brake service message & wont start - how many others with this issue

    That doesn’t work on mine as the screen doesn’t restart unless you open the door (step 7)… But this did work and you don’t have to walk away from the car which is what I had been doing. Get in the car as normal to find it’s not working. Stay in the car Lock the car Wait around 2 mins until you...

    Is Paint Protection needed?

    I’ve done 5k miles it’s got no PPF (it’s only been ceramic coated). The only mark I’ve seen is a very small scratch up on the a-piller from a motorway stone… Despite comments about soft paint (which is very true for the black roof paint on early cars - hence the ceramic coat) the rest of the...

    Can’t open fuel filler

    I think there’s an emergency release behind the drivers seat on the upper rear panel. Remove the little cover panel and pull the red cable…

    Red fighter button starter upgrade???

    From looking at the handbook, I think you’re supposed to push down the gear gater to remove it from the surround. Then pull up the surround to up clip the two tone plastic from the middle. Then the button is meant to be accessible… at least that’s what I think. But don’t want to break anything.

    Red fighter button starter upgrade???

    Has anyone done anything else to the red starter button protector? I was wanting to change the colour of mine as I hate the red - it doesn’t go with anything. Maybe yellow, match the stitching / callipers? Or maybe black? Can it be done? I’ve heard about dying plastic another colour but was...

    “Bricked” after Brake Fault

    Yes it was the first time. I had the recall work done around 10 days ago and they updated all of the software at the same time… hmm 🤔

    “Bricked” after Brake Fault

    I had the same issue here… I left it 20 mins with the key out of range and it started right up.

    Being held to ransom with my own car

    There are definitely plenty of happy/lucky owners of which I am one… I’ve had a few minor bits which will get done with the first service (due September this year) but the car has been brilliant - it hasn’t been off the road once since my December delivery day. 3,800 happy miles and rising.

    Spotted: Emiras seen in the wild

    I met a guy called Adam in Ruthall last week who has a red Emira - nice guy. He's also done the NC500... sounds like a TW Emira club forming!

    Spotted: Emiras seen in the wild

    Hi there, sorry for the slow response I’ve been off the forum for a while. It was good to meet them and talk cars… funny being at Lamborghini and having people stop as you’ve got an Emira - love it! I’m still loving the car and have just been busy daily driving it relatively issue free :) I’m...

    Seatbelts jammed

    Mine are def quite sensitive. They can lock when you lean forward to look out at junction, even when you don’t think you’re being particularly quick with your motions. I’ve had them lock fully once after I’d got out the car and I couldn’t get the belt back on for a few mins… So far I have...

    Exhaust valves

    Not really. From what I’ve read the manufacturer can’t just invalidate the warranty for the whole car for a non-OEM part on a non- related part of the car. They can invalidate the warranty on the rest of the exhaust system, but that’s not a real concern for me. I don’t believe they can...

    Exhaust valves

    With the Komotec bypass pipe I had to pay £68 import tax… but UPS having been saying I’m out when I’m not so I still haven’t got it… shouldn’t be long now. On the plus side the insurance company only wanted a £9.50 premium for adding it to my policy :-)

    Configuration mistake on my delivered car - and Lotus won't take responsibility.

    Good news arrived from Lotus today and so I thought this thread needed an update… Lotus had another look at what’s happened and that I did everything correctly when changing spec etc so they have agreed to replace the glass free of charge. The good news is that I actually like the darker...

    Anyone got an Emira with zero issues?!

    I’m not sure if you’re saying the car is temperamental or that my responses are 🤔🤣 Either way, the car is driving beautifully and I’m a happy customer. I’ve had some fairly minor glitches but nothing serious / unresolvable.

    Anyone got an Emira with zero issues?!

    Slightly off topic (sorry) but I had a perfect 1st post run-in drive this morning. The heater was working, the sun was shining, the traffic was elsewhere and the roads were dry and winding… 😍 I pushed the engine up to 6,000rpm… the car came alive, felt balance, smooth, alive and exhilarating...
