    Dashcam hardwire

    You need to remove the small inner piece first, this has tabs down the side and then two at the bottom, so it kind of levers at the bottom (I've pull from the top). Then there's a clip on each of the four corners of the rest of the shroud, mine came off fairly easily if memory serves, can't...

    Emiras still being built with twisted seatbelts?

    I thought it was concluded that the twisted seatbelts are the correct orientation according to HQ?

    V6 FE's available for immediate delivery

    Not sure what lotus are thinking here but I just got the email through offering me the orphaned Emiras, perhaps they forgot I picked mine up 6 weeks ago 🤣

    Wiper speed issue

    Yeah I chuckled at the "non" safety note, I've had experience of it, driving in pretty damn bad rain, had to slow to down to be able to be confident in driving the car since my view out was pretty obscured by the rain in-between the slow wipes, it wasn't very pleasant

    Wiper speed issue

    Have had a recall letter through this morning for the wiper motors. Booked in to get fixed on the 14th, fingers crossed for no rain between now and then 😜 The letter says it's cars built up to 21/3/2023, so mine must have been one of the last to have the faulty motor. Shame they didn't replace...

    driver profiles anyone?

    My understanding is that a number of the settings can be tuned based on the profile, so you and your partner can each have a key that unlocks to their own profile with memory seats and some other configurations attached. What's unclear to me though is which options are global and which are...

    Alternative Front Number Plate mount (3d printed)

    I can probably sort something out for small numbers of people, I had to buy enough screws/bolts for 6 sets, the issue is the print time, the two/three parts take probably 30 hours to print at the settings I was doing 😅

    Alternative Front Number Plate mount (3d printed)

    So for a while now I've been pondering about mounting the front number plate at a slightly leaned back angle, rather than on the original plinth that came with the car. Wondering if that might lessen the impact of the front plate. I have a 3d printer to hand so set out to design and build...

    Emira OE exhaust with Miltek active valve controller

    Did you have to put the car on a ramp to take off the rear diffuser? Or could you do it just climbing under the car?

    Emira OE exhaust with Miltek active valve controller

    If you have a chance, a comparison between the factory and open modes would be great. Sounds great on the video but I have no real grasp of how that compares to the factory setting

    Lotus Emira Key Holder

    I got a notification today too, though, to the wrong address (I moved 6 months ago and did tell Lotus this but 🤷‍♂️). Good job I got the notification and that DHL allow you to change the delivery address!

    Cold start stalling

    Mine has done the second version of this once so far in 800 miles, how frequently is this happening to people?

    @Tim Happy to share the STL? My car is due a clean and the stencilling has rubbed off

    Spotted: Emiras seen in the wild

    Saw a magma red at about 11:40 this morning on the M4. They were fast lane heading west not far from Bristol, I was fast lane going the opposite direction, not sure if they noticed mine or not 🤷‍♂️ First time I've seen one on the road since I picked mine up, and only second ever in the wild...

    3d Printed TPU key loop

    As we all know, the Emira key is notoriously difficult to attach to anything because of the internal key loop bit. I thought last night, what about using some TPU and creating a loop to go through. Well all of ten minutes later on Fusion 360, and voila Printed out of black TPU, this little...

    Cold start stalling

    So mine today, having not drive in a few days, but having had a few hours on a ctek to top up, pushed the button to start, kicked into life and then immediately off again, familiar to anyone? Started again and was fine on second attempt but weird how it stalled itself on that first attempt

    Wind noise

    Did you ever get anywhere with your wind noise? Established mine has a sound of rushing wind on the drivers side that isn't present on the passenger side. It was quite obvious to me from mile 0 (now on 400) but this is the first time I've sat on the passenger side so only just noticing the stark...

    Dashcam hardwire

    Possibly, though it would have to be quite a bit smaller. The back wall is full of cabling so the only place you can really attach to is the top of the fusebox, which not only isn't level, but it's also not that deep. It really is quite cramped down there to be honest.

    Dashcam hardwire

    Ok so I fitted my dash cam today, some parts were easier than others I found out. First up, trying to get the toeboard off to get to the fusebox. For some reason this proved very difficult in my car. Likewise, getting it back on also proved very difficult. Probably the hardest bit of trim I had...

    I asked specifically about the exhaust during my collection on Thursday and Sam reckoned there would be one, I guess only time will tell 🤷‍♂️

    Would you mind disclosing the part number (if you have it) and how much it cost, I think I may need one

    Dashcam hardwire

    The carpet didn't seem to be fitted correctly and was making it hard to get the board out, bit of pushing and the carpet tucked under properly

    Dashcam hardwire

    Well this is frustrating, I can't even get the passenger footrest off! I've undone and removed the clips but the bottom won't budge, seems it's being held in by a bump on the left and then a bump on the right at the bottom, pretty sure it shouldn't be this hard 😔

    📓 Journals Joel's Seneca Factory Collection

    @Toomanyloti you're absolutely correct about the exhaust sound, totally agree and I did try to caveat what I was saying in one of my follow up comments. Though one counter point, you won't always be giving it full beans. There will be times where you're trundling through town and, for some, I...

    Fitting a battery conditioner... Do's and Don'ts

    I think in the Emira the 12v socket turns off 7 minutes (IIRC) after the ignition goes off, so I wouldn't expect it to work
