This is a common problem and will be replaced under warranty, my car was April 2023 build, another car exact same spec was in minutes before me with the same problem. I understand its a factory installation issue

The green led is very dark mines the same kits normal

I must be stupid, clearly you know everything, I'm telling you what has been told to me by a Lotus Service Centre. Make of it what you want

Hi All, Just had my second service (B) to day at £750, I asked enough the door part issue (mine is a early 23 plate with no paint issues at present). Within the door is a channel that collects water with no way of draining so remains dormant so osmosis takes place that breaks through the...

Here is my crack, not in the surface. Identical to previous post

Ive reported issues earlier about my cracked windscreen but whilst the car was being serviced the kind chaps at Henry kindly gave us keys to a V6 auto and an I4 with 350 miles on the clock. Very briefly we went out on a four hour tour with both cars, V6 auto first. For me very familiar as a...

I will get a photo of mine and upload it tomorrow

Yep exactly the same position, that's three I'm aware of now, from my understanding both the Southampton reports from Friday are being referred back to Lotus for warranty authorisation to replace the screen, lets wait an see what comes back

I took my car in for its first service at Hendy Southampton yesterday, my windscreen has a stress fracture in the inner laminate in the centre at the top of the screen passing down and around the sensor hole. The service guy said I had just missed another owner come in with the same problem...

for whats it worth, I am now over a year in and initially had management lights on etc, plus starting issues, had the software updates as you all have that sort of eliminated the problem short term. My car was a home delivery with a full tank of petrol? I am convinced the issues experienced on...

Again a load of crap from posters that know nothing about the car, don't own one or ever will. Very simple follow the running in procedures, take it easy for say 500 miles and as lotus say spirited driving and use of all gears and ranges is recommended building up to 1K. That's it very simple...

I give up sometimes here as you think you are all so funny. When or if you ever get a car I hope you will reflect back when you are asking for advise??

I own a nimbus /tan but having seen the ice grey and nimbus with upper black pack at Southampton I think it looks really futuristic and is a perfect match. In hindsight I would have gone with that combination. Shouldn't work but really does

I had the software update and 10 miles up the road tyre light came on. Tried resetting tyre pressures (car said pressures where all good) but this did not sort out the problem. Went back to the dealer and within 30 seconds the sensors where reset and no problems since. It was found to be a...

I agree, I was there Thursday, three months ownership plus an I4 fe order in as well and I could not get past the really stupid sales staff even get a free lanyard - cheeky fuckers wanted to charge me £7??? for one. - so as we were talking to a true legend Derek Bell my mate bought me a £3 lotus...

Luck of the draw I guess I've not hade any issues at all with connection. I will also say that whilst the KEF system is being slated one thing I have is that when you are really red lining the car (90-100+) the system has an uncanny way of being pitch perfect under extreme load. Sitting in the...

Exactly, and what a really nice gent, true legend, he was setting up for his run.

Agreed, but would you spend £80 plus getting it on the road or an emira for around the same price, it’s pretty but seeing it today there is no comparison, go look at the grey mclaren on there stand by the house, then compare between the two, Emira half the price at least

Ps have a v6 and it’s a keeper plus I’m in for a i4 regardless, seeing so much silent power today was awful, we need drama not fast boring cars

Well I can only apologise for the lotus stand today, it was sparse and only a black i4 on display. Met with the lotus chap prior to his run up the hill and heard it as it was entering down to the start line. In no way has it any presence when at low revs, sounded bland, the engine bay is worse...

Are you lot really stupid! firstly do any of you actually have a car? probably not! and secondly why on earth would you take a pressure washer and blast the crap out of it. Im now 4 months in and have had no issues and I'm in the UK where it rains. I give up?

that's cool

Im not in that group, mine has been spot on from day one, although all my issues are all cosmetic, mechanically it has been good. One thing I would say and this is my experience only is that during running in I kept to the 4K limit, but drove it like I stole it through all gears and conditions...

yes, both options. GAP came first about 2 months and then the paint one several weeks later.

Ive had no mechanical issues in 3 months of ownership other than some cosmetic bits still to be resolved. My view is that people committed early on because it was a cheap deposit to get an exclusive car. Then reality dawns when you have to contractually buy and unless you had cash to buy...

This might sound stupid but when my car was delivered I had a full tank of fuel as expected and it threw lights from the first 20 miles of use. after the first 100miles I use my local Esso garage and topped up with 99 and have not had any lights since - thoughts?

I’ve been waiting now 5 weeks for my new car to be booked in at hendy Southampton for repairs due to no pdi checks on the car. Worse Ive not received my V5, turns out the useless nobs at lotus fucked up the registration with DVLA, DVLA won’t tell me what’s not right on the registration and got...

I suppose I am lucky in so far as only only engine management lights early on, as for the rest cosmetically and fit its a bit of a mess. Anyway 'Soon' it will be booked in to be repaired

Checked should have them! Another thing in the list to be sorted. I think mine was built in the dark

Well mine does not has anyone got a photo of theirs

Is there supposed to be a plastic / rubber disc at the bottom of the cup holders to hide the exposed screws?

I had home delivery so as I was informed on delivery they have moved from Oxford so I’m guessing my car was ragged down the A34 prior to be loaded and dropped off. Anyway Ive now been waiting for hendy Southampton to get my car defects sorted, boot not fitting correctly, damaged cill, carpet so...

Mine on home delivery had 33 miles on it

I do not have any issues with mine from a practical perspective, no issues and comfortable. I really think its more aggressive action causing issues

My brakes are not sharp at all and a complete contrast to the two demo cars I drove. Im only 200miles in so hoping they will improve as they bed in.
