This cooling thing keeps coming up, but where you are "reading" such stuff is just an echo chamber of people repeating speculation on forums like this. I will buy a hat and then eat it if it is not simply a case of removing the Market Segmentation Valve to get more out of the i4 in the Emira...

This explains everything... French sabotage!! :shakefist:

Have heard good things about Viofo cams (good value for money, using high-end Sony Starvis sensors), so got an A139 Pro to try out in the family car. I haven't installed it yet, but I'm expecting good things... if it's as good as I hope, I'll grab the same again for the Emira when it is time.

I've actually ordered silver, but am seriously considering getting them sprayed/coated slightly darker (along the lines of Porsche Platinum Satin), based on the renders from the new configurator. This and switch the rear lettering to black... :chefs-kiss:

Ah... so you're the fixer-upper in the relationship then... :)

With respect, bit of an odd analogy IMO. I'd say it is more along the lines of a hot model girlfriend who constantly has to go to rehab or therapy retreats, and it takes a certain personality type to maintain that relationship... are you going to support them through it, and maybe build a...

I'm going sans black-pack (Seneca with silver wheels) as the body colour roof kind of grew on me, and was planning on swapping the rear lettering for black... but I'm also super tempted to actually debadge, just for the confusion factor 😁

Ok, now we've reached the bottom of the barrel.

I'll never get tyred of quality puns like this.

No, I definitely meant sav-vy ;) Cab sav (wineandsomething.com) Credit for getting on board with the puns though... some people just don't have the bottle for it.

A savvy joke indeed.

Lengthways, of course... duh :rolleyes: 🦆

Not completely sure of the level of sarcasm here (which is what makes this post even more great IMO), but sound is a Big Deal to some! :D

Front parking sensors.

Good to hear you got this sorted. The trim tether sounds like the airbag recall issue, so that's good to have sorted too 👍 I must admit, I've never heard of a bingo bolt before now... did you mean banjo bolt perhaps?

Yes we can all use a search engine... but did you follow the results to a credible source? Summary table B. Establishment data, seasonally adjusted : U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (bls.gov) TLDR: $1157.28 per week, measured in July = approx $60178 per annum Average weekly earnings in Great...

Yeah, I agree... this smells off. Can you show your working? Relevant bureaus of statistics show $53490 per annum vs approx £33K per annum (based on 640 per week measured in July). Taxes are a significant factor of fuel cost in the UK. You are definitely better of for fuel prices in the US. 😭🩸

I'm impressed you get 36mpg... is that proper brim-to-brim calculation, or the sneaky lying trip computer? 😄 In every single car I've owned, I never seem to be able to get near the hypermiling-like highs that I see people claim. I guess I'm just a neanderthal with lead feet or something...

Some of those welds look like they got the apprentice to do them on Friday afternoon after a few pints for lunch, but presumably they are acceptably strong. 🤞 A quick search on the yellow staining turn up this:

I'm not going to argue, as I agree with a lot of what you're saying... the ball was dropped with regard to timing of the PDI, and subsequent comms. I'd feebly contend that we can't know whether the car passed factory QC checks fine, but failed during PDI. 🤷‍♂️ That they are still installing...

Yeah, you grievance is legit, and I do feel for you... l guess I have a touch of the old Stockhom syndrome 😬 What never fails to dismay is that Lotus just seems to be persistently awful at defining predictable customer service processes... they can barely even manage it when things are just...

I'm not going to defend too hard (this kind of known issue probably shouldn't be rolling off the production line by now), but it was picked up by a pre-delivery inspection... which is entirely the point of a pre-delivery inspection.

Why oh why did they not make that green the launch colour (in place of DV)... so lush. ❤️

Tough call... I'm tending to side with those who say just rejecting the car sounds a little OTT, given they seem willing and responsive to addressing the problem, but I also understand how disconcerting the whole thing must be. I think if I were standing in your shoes, I'd be struggling to...

Mine was a leaving gift from work colleagues when I changed jobs earlier this year, as I guess they wanted some closure on the damn car I'd been yammering on about for literally years 😅

You took yours out of the box!?! *gasp* I'm keeping mine mint and unsullied... think about the residuals! ;)

This was exactly my position and mental journey as well... except that I kept my fingers in my ears and la-la-la'd until as late as possible. I really wanted the AMG to begin with, but so much changed during the wait (both for Lotus, and my personal situation) that I pulled the trigger on a...

Remember to show your ##FIRSTNAME## ##LASTNAME## proof of identity when you sign for it. #forthevaluedcustomer

Yeah, I wondered about the Bosch control box as well... my completely unfounded guess is it might be a (de)tuning box that fiddles sensor signals in a similar way to aftermarket boxes do to "remap" vehicles where the ECU cannot be cracked.

Stick a little "1 of 1" badge on... will do wonders for the resale value 👍

Don't forget to re-vulcanize your tires while you're up... saves your knees and back the extra wear and tear of getting up twice!

Seems to have great airflow to it, from what I can see...

When I was at the dealers a couple of weeks back (having a "refresher" test drive), I joked to them it'd be a neat idea to just wire in a toggle switch in the boot to quickly disconnect the battery terminal for stuff like this... feels less like a joke every time these anecdotes pop up 😅

Man, that park-your-fancy-car-out-front-for-free-sir thing is awesome :D ... I don't think it even occurred to me as a thing, and you've pulled it off multiple times in one weekend.

True... and I guess it is less confusing than inserting entirely somebody else's name... 🤷‍♂️

Yep, came here to post this. Great work, as usual. 😬

Can confirm, Old Spice works great as an engine flush. Totally worth it. 👍
