    Turbocharged Lotus Emira I4 add-ons

    2 extended all in? Upping your warranty to 5 yrs total? For the emira seems like a no brainer for me 😂 Personally since it’s my daily I'd go for alloy too Ceramic seems to be a steal, too cheap to be a real deal full ceramic coat. I’d ask what exactly is being done there

    HVAC Fan Issue?

    It's not the motor, it's the resistor pack. Same as the other HVAC issue. It comes in a variety of symptoms and problems. Mine for example was stuck on a slight breeze IF it worked and went 9000° foot area only.

    ABS and ESC Issue

    Do it as long as you’re in warranty. Don’t be gentle. It’s a car, it should handle it. Better find out now than when you’re on the hook for it

    V6 Manual - are these sounds normal?

    It might be in the interior. Back window, bottom edge. You can wedge you fingers between the glass and trim. Try having your passenger pull on the trim and see if it does something to the sound. There’s some foamy like blocks in there, probably to insulate the trim from vibrations. Sounds like...

    Better not the Emira, otherwise the next trip is going to be in the direction of the dealer 😂

    Who has Milltek's Active Controller Installed?

    Throwing codes

    Mine is "fixed". Took 5 or 6 O2-Sensors to figure out what’s going on. After the 4th sensor I correlated the O2 sensor going bad with water exposure. Further testing revealed that water would enter the ECU and somehow would always fry a O2 sensor at the same position. My mechanic water proofed...

    Would you like custom illuminated seat badges?

    @Gprodigy already did what I wanted to do next :D Since white vs RGB is about 50:50 voted, I’d probably just go with a RGBW light source - everyone is happy, Keeps processes easier only having to deal with one option

    Air con known issue -no fix yet [EDIT: now with official fix]

    We're seeing NA cars with issues known since the early months, so this is exactly what’s happening.

    ABS and ESC Issue

    ESC uses the same sensors, so you're probably not too far off with your ABS ring guess. I had that issue two times and it always sorted itself after 15-20kms. Maybe tell them just to drive it (if able, I got a manual V6). Seems like they are kinda prone to dirt or something. Neatly follows the...

    Would you like custom illuminated seat badges?

    Hi! I'm currently elaborating on designing custom seat badges. My primary goal would be white illumination with the OEM Lotus or Emira branding. Fully customizable text or RGB illumination won't be too much of a production adjustment if the demand is there. I'm not taking orders now...

    Should I update the software ?

    Clutch malfunction and Gearbox can't shift into gear

    We got a winner. Together with @Porter s guess it's revving to compensate for the additional load of the partially engaged clutch this makes absolute sense.

    Clutch malfunction and Gearbox can't shift into gear

    Don’t worry, that pic is required for you to be able to claim you own a Lotus 😂

    Clutch malfunction and Gearbox can't shift into gear

    Since the O2 sensors weren't up to temp immediately after starting, the car probably ran a bit rich (?). That would smell unpleasant. Wouldn't worry too much about it. However, I'd worry about the car redlining on its own... that's a bit scary

    Has anyone adjusted their shift cable slack yet?

    I think he refers to the "wiggle" room even when in gear. It's the same as before without the kit installed in my case. I also think it's a bit more "wiggly" compared to other sporty cars, for me compared to the i30n. However, my shop says some adjusting of the cable could be made to reduce it...

    Short Throw Shift Kits Now Available!

    My area of conflict wasn't related to the adjustment used at all. It might be due to slight differences in the initial shifter cable adjustment from the factory, if I understood GRP correctly.

    The engine fault light remains on.

    Most of the codes can be read this way. Any OBD II reader should work. Some extra ones can only be read by Lotus-specific software unavailable to the public. Veepeak does the job for me: https://www.amazon.de /gp/product/B073XKQQQW/ You'll need a compatible App. For iOS / Mac I use...

    Exhaust sound

    Makes absolute sense. At least on my car free-revving has a soft limit at some lower RPMs, unless you push the clutch in. I think it's mandatory on new cars in Germany. Not so sure if the clutch bypass is legal... :LOL:

    Exhaust sound

    That would be called the clutch. Seriously. Hold clutch down = 4k soft limit gone 🥲 🌚

    Since there are two others with cracks at the exact same location I'd revisit the warranty topic with your dealer if you actually paid out of pocket

    Short Throw Shift Kits Now Available!

    Grinding down worked. Sry for the bad photos. Area of conflict: The fix: Just had a couple of KMs after installation, but so far nice change. First and second feel much better. I'll have to retrain myself on the shorter throws but I can already tell it's gonna be good. Hope I never end up...

    Short Throw Shift Kits Now Available!

    Mhmm, mechanic is installing it today and he says it works without the engine running but when driving you sometimes can't get the second gear in. Looks like the short shifter body somewhat collides with part of the transmission. He's trying to make it work by grinding down a little bit on that...

    Intermittent failure to start

    Don't worry, Dell and Windows together still didn't manage to get this working :LOL: Dell XPS regularly burned my fingers because it decided to wake up and go full heater mode in my laptop bag. Fresh install, newest drivers, and all. Complete bonkers.

    Tyre Pressure

    I overpressured mine and parked the car for 4-5 months and they barely dropped pressure. 0.3 loss after a few days on one tyre only is not normal.

    Intermittent failure to start

    It's the other way around for me. Cold starts almost never end up in this bug. It's triggered more often after parking for 1-2 hours. In this case the infotainment is still somewhat ready and immediately available when opening the door instead of the usual loading delay

    Intermittent failure to start

    it's happening to cars on the other side of the pond too. The problem was first introduced by a software update months ago. Might have been present before that update, but that update started triggering it regularly.
