    Finally…..I give up!

    Uhh there’s a counterparties name on the invoice. Thats the one who is liable. How they handle it behind the scenes is not your problem.

    Personally I wouldn’t want to convert my car into a taxi 😂 Just plug it in and throw it in the middle console, carplay offers anything you should need while driving hands-free anyways

    Burning Smell From Engine While Reversing on Ramp

    well easiest guess would be the clutch by extensive slipping given you took a few tries and probably not going up the ramp at 12-14km/h

    Paint/panel problems....never ending problem?

    Look at it like this: If fixing it was even remotely an option Lotus would be doing that instead of replacing whole doors and panels

    VF Tuner for the Lotus Emira

    Just when I thought it couldn’t get any worse lol I'm 100% certain the reason no one gets a changelog for the updates is because it doesn’t exist. The numerous recessions between software versions kind of validate my deepest fears 😂

    Windshield washer

    I habe this example issue now after 33000km, worked fine before. Nozzles are clean, doesn’t leak and reservoir Level doesn’t change, so I would guess its the pump, connection etc

    Apple Car Play streaming issues

    Ah got it. Sounds like it tries to use the Emira network as data connection. I think there is a hotspot option in the setting, make sure that's no active. Also check if you have a known "Emira" network saved and forget that. You could try a wired connection to quickly confirm if it's a pure...

    CarPlay doesn’t work in the dash screen

    No way to do that. While mine almost always fails to connect automatically, disconnecting bluetooth and connecting again + waiting a few seconds does the job most of the time

    Almost a new lotus owner!

    Uhhhhhh, you got any terms signed? I wouldn’t stand down so easily lol. Are there other dealers near you? Even if you manage to get the car, they sure ass shit won’t do any work on it afterwards, so thats to be considered too

    Same, but don’t count on it being fixed anytime soon. I mean since day one you get shown all sorts of icons when changing the fan speed and still nobody has noticed 😂

    O2 Sensor Bank 2

    Can you get a graph of the two O2 Sensor Voltages please, like 1 minute in idle. Don't touch the gas. If your app doesn’t support it, use "CarScanner" from the appstore. Blue background, white engine symbol.

    Apple Car Play streaming issues

    CarPlay connects to your car via Bluetooth and wifi. You cant use a wifi connection for data while connected, only mobile data will work

    Anyone with Valve motor faults after installing Milltek valve controller?

    When washing the car using a pressure water the ECU (back left side, near the air intake) would get wet and short out some connections to the ECU. This would always fry the same O2 sensor, bank 2. I went through 5 or 6 sensors until we figured it out. Some sensors failed completely and...

    Anyone with Valve motor faults after installing Milltek valve controller?

    I'd worry more about the O2 faults, exactly the same I had when water ingress would destroy one sensor after another. Check live view and make sure the sensor(s) report sane values. You’re looking for stuck values (high/low) or erratic jumps even in idle.

    Anyone have this clutch noise when downshifting to 2nd?

    No its 100% a different one I have the shifter cable sound / rattle. This sound here only happens with high load / bad rev match downshifts (I think mostly into second)

    Anyone have this clutch noise when downshifting to 2nd?

    I've heard that before, but only on the track when driven really hard by a more skilled driver than me. It's probably not really doing that, but it sounds and feels like a "reverse" clutch slip. Like if the clutch couldn't transfer the engine braking to the wheels.. (?) 😂

    Cold start stalling

    Exactly what I observed. It's not the last update, but the one before that. Chatted with my technician yesterday and I got an update approximately 2 weeks before the latest was released, but my car is starting much "stronger" since. Probably shipped it first, got feedback and did minor...

    Cold start stalling

    I haven’t had this in a long time now and I was affected often. It seems like there wasn’t "the" update to fix this, but multiple one after one dialing it in to where it needs to be. HOWEVER one update between Apr 2nd and Mar 25th seems to have fiddled with the startup rpms. Since having...

    Poll for Those with Paint Blistering / Bubbling Defect

    I’ve just had both doors replaced. Doors ordered in early October 2024, and they were delivered in the first week of March. The dealer then took care of everything, including the full disassembly, getting the doors painted, and assembling everything. They also performed a full service, oil...

    Fuel trims look perfect. Regarding the codes thrown definitely get it checked, do you have access to a dealer? A loose ground would be my guess

    Yes it can do the shopping

    And precooked by the time you get home, how nice!

    Hi can you check the Short Term Fuel Trims (%) when idle for 1-2min? In my case I had water ingress in the ECU which shorted out and destroyed one lambda sensor on bank 2, same position, each time I washed my car or got into heavy rain. Solution was some aftermarket sealing and waterproofing by...
