My latest update from Lotus on this is that they currently do not have a solution for the issue. The interim fix, as Lotus refer to it, is to stop the car, turn it off, open the door, close it again, lock and unlock the car, move the wiper to the desire position and restart the car. This is not...

I'm out... I have exercised my right to reject due to the windscreen wiper issue since I am told there is currently no timeline for a fix, although in reality it is the difficultly in dealing with Lotus that is the larger problem. I am fed up of having to chase them, being provided with...

I probably hit demist a few times as well when clicking around, although I would guess you will have tried that too. It might have been pot luck that they suddenly started working for me.

No I used the central screen and rather click through them individually I selected them all at once.

I had what sounds like the same issue on a demo car I was lent while mine was off the road over Xmas. In that case full demist was blowing straight at my face rather than the windscreen. I tried the various options via the screen and controls and although the relevant vent was illuminated on the...

Mine had 9 miles on the clock.

I would agree, I had assumed auto rain sensor would cover all bases. I suspect the statement that they are stuck in auto mode, which is what Lotus told me, is something of a simplification. In my experience the wipers do not reach what I would call normal speed, at least if that is normal speed...

I think pretty much everything on a car will involve software of some description between the control and the device being controlled these days. In this case the issue with the wipers is that regardless of the mode selected you can't get them sweeping across the windscreen fast enough to clear...

My car was updated just before Xmas at the local dealer by a field engineer who came across from Hethel. I was told that the update he applied only affected the dash. I don't have the details of what it changed/fixed, but it definitely did not address the wiper issue. From the conversations I...

I came across numerous cyclists on a run out last weekend despite the horrible weather - for anyone interested the car has a reasonable wade depth - and while stuck in a queue at a junction, a particularly large group of them came from the opposite direction. As they approached, one chap...

I do think DV is much darker in images than reality. When not being lit up by sun or lights it is definitely dark but I would also say clearly green unlike in the image above (which seems to have disappeared when I refreshed the page?). I took the picture below on a wet overcast day to try and...

Yes, you can play FLAC from a USB stick. Also more generally when playing off USB I found 50% volume to be loud. On a wet motorway at 70mph 60-70% volume covers almost all road, tyre, wind, engine, etc noise. Pushing above gets way too loud for me - everything is relative but my family usually...

+1 for AIB here, they were the most competitive for me. If you have had your checkout email you should be able to request your reg number from Customer Care as it should have been assigned already. Your quotes seem very high though, is Colchester a hot spot for car crime?

Thanks, the final dimension looked to be the same on both.

How tight is it on width? The Medium size looks to be only 5 cm narrower. I have been thinking of picking up something, mostly just to keep the leaves off, but £500 for the Lotus one is way more than I want to spend.

Realistically Emira - Daily/Weekend fun Boxster S - Summer Sun - The Mrs won’t give this one up so it has to be there F90 M5 - Family duties - I test drove one of these a few weeks ago as I no longer need a diesel mile muncher. It is amazing piece of kit. Felt so much smaller and more nimble...

Dirty Verdant

I am pleased to report that the car is now back home with 2 new seatbelts and a software update - although not the one that fixes the wipers which I am told should come soon. Hats off to Lotus for turning it around and thanks to the chap who travelled across from Hethel to fix it.

Sorry I should have stated - it is Touring and the Goodyears which must surely also take some credit here.

Seatbelts! Both have failed one after another on my car in the 24 hours after collection. The passenger belt failed pretty much on first use, not wanting to pull out more than a few cm after being taken off, which was pretty inconvenient when in the middle of the nowhere with a passenger who...

I have just had 24 hours with a Touring suspended car before I had to drop it back at Lotus. In that time I drove about 200 miles around a very wet Forrest of Dean, Cotswolds and Mendips. The car wasn’t run in so I needed to stick to a 4K red line and avoid using full throttle but given the...

It is the Alcantara with yellow stitch.

First time I have seen DV in the flesh. The colour has so much depth and is really impressive under lights. Although even out of them it is still clearly a shade of green and not black. From some of the pics online I was worried there would be too much blue in it, but in reality isn't turquoisey...

I was told my car was 'in production' when my checkout email was sent, although I suspect that could mean anything from the parts have arrived to it is being valeted post PDI.

That seems at odds with previous statements that dealers weren't allowed to get involved. Full ad here https://www.jct600.co.uk/used-cars/lotus-emira-35-v6-400-first-edition-2dr-coupe-blue-manual-petrol/id-1214126879/

Do you only get offered a deliver date once the car has passed the PDI check?

Although they did pioneer active suspension with a view to using it on road cars
