Hold your horses till we have some reports of successful fixes. Some things weren’t fixed for 3-4 versions while I was being told "its fixed" in this or that version 😂 I’m in the fortunate position of having a dealer within 15kms, but others… :D

That explains it. You're sitting in the wrong car!

🥲

Also check that your direction isn’t stuck. My would only "baby blow" into the foot area which made matters even worse

If they work correctly they sound like a jet on max. Note that the engine needs to be running for maximum performance. See video of mine below after replacement.

They don't even manage to fix their software at the dealership... OTA is a big no lol

Matches the stock wheels 1:1, so yes

In Germany, you have to allow the seller to fix the problem two times. You can set realistic timeframes. If they fail to do so, you can just withdraw from the contract. Would surprise me if the UK wouldn't have something similar in place

Cracked window definitely enhances bass for me.

Steering pumps were faulty before so that would be my first go to. Theres also a recall to check snug fit of some oil hose connectors somewhere, don’t have any more info on that sadly

Correct

Of course, don't know where my brain was when I wrote it

And yes you can just put it back in. It'll only change sound not emissions, so depending on where you are you need to put it back in to pass noise inspection. Nonsense, should sleep more 🤣

Never heard of an OPF "suppressor" enhancing sound. OPF is a filter, hence "Otto particle filter", which tends to silence the car. V6 doesn't come with one, I4 does. I never heard of retrofitting an OPF.. but if you did you surely need to adjust the SW. If you're talking about removing the...

Already fixed, water ingress 😂

Yep, we’re on the same page. The two instances having the same problem is what leads me to believe it’s some kind of timing issue. As mentioned I also had the problem before the sw update, it just happens way more often after the update. Since Lotus already mentioned it’s some (ABS iirc)...

Okay so you probably have water ingress in the resistor box, that will stop the fans from turning on. The water could have created a different electrical fault resulting in a slow drain.

I guess it’s a very slow but constant drain then.. is your ac working as intended? We have reports of cars where the fan wouldn't shut down fully, draining the battery.

You’re overestimating Lotus software development capabilities. Also software never is just "works" or "doesn’t work", many seemingly small things can throw a complete process of track. Also the problem started to show up regularly after a specific sw update after all.. I've had it before but at...

That's not correct. The Alarm has an internal battery and disconnecting the "main" battery with the alarm armed will trigger it. The battery might be "dead" but still has enough voltage not to trip the alarm. Opening the door will also trip the alarm. Placing the keyfob into the holder and...

Do not immediately start driving after prolonged downtime or you risk damaging the AC. Specifically stated in the manual:

Is this the shop where you bought it? In that case, you should've set a timeframe for them to fix (do it now, you need the legal grounds) and push for withdrawal otherwise. If you follow through or not, that should set priorities in order. Keywords to search for: Sachmängelhaftung / Angemessene...

To be fair the Roast side assistance states However, having to wait till January for an appointment stinks

It's been fixed again. Now it was the resistor - full of water! Here comes the fun part: As you can read in this thread, Lotus is aware of the issue and is producing sealed replacements. They use silicon for sealing. Since my whole "heating box" was replaced, it included the new sealed resistor...

Well it’s in for aircon again anyway. Might aswell ask them why and have it corrected if no plausible explanation given

I've had it before the update too, it just didn't happen as often.. :LOL: Did you try attaching an extra ground connection somewhere?

0w40 is listed in the manual, but I trust them to know what they're up to. Maybe better fit for cold months? Not that I'll be driving anyway.. Honestly no idea about the different oils out there :LOL:

Service alone was 502,66€ 6.7l 10W-60 Oil cost is 157,86€ (should have brought my own, that's on me) About 32€ for a special request The remainder is oil filter, small items, and small amounts of various fluids

I've one myself and also broke both mirrors clean off in a matter of minutes 😂

I'd recommend keeping the mirror on, otherwise it could get tricky when changing lanes 🌚

😏 It's shiny tho!

Some more information: Recall is to check and ensure snuck fit on some hose connectors. I wasn't affected.

It's getting ridiculous. Car made it to the first rain, now aircon isn't working again. Back to square one -_-

Of course, the full deal. Only mentioned oil specifically since it's a big chunk of material cost. Full service as specified by Lotus + a few smaller items, fluids, etc.

Very reasonable in my opinion! About 710€ including Oil & Filter change.

Just got my car back from the dealer for inspection and other items. They also applied a fix for a recall I haven’t heard of yet, so I thought I’d share. The recall is being listed as (translated) "Lotus Recall 2023/21 - Oil cooling lines". My build date should be around November 22. I...

For reference, this is how strong it gets. The sound is not over saturated on the video, that’s really how it is. It turns that high with the engine running, on battery it’s limited for obvious reasons. It spools up over a period of 20ish seconds until it reaches max speed
