We had exactly the same issue in France and no one answered the phone. We were broken down with the Emira on a busy and dangerous place. Eventually we got the nearest Lotus dealer to recover us. We were then told we would not be covered for cost or courtesy car as we had not used Lotus...

There appear to be a batch of new and different faults on the more recently delivered cars. I wonder if the new software has been applied to these cars. A couple of weeks ago my dealer informed me that the new, and much anticipated software release is available. I am booked in for the end...

Have either of you had engine warning lights?

Despite the faults, issues and niggles, I still love her :love:

I use both the Xtool when at home and Carista with my iphone when on the road. Having had to reset many codes on my Emira, I never leave home without the Carista https://www.xtool.co.uk/wholesale/xtool-d8-obdii-diagnostic-tool.html https://caristaapp.com/en

I found this article for the Evora. Make sure you read to the end as there is no need to remove transmission. https://www.lotustalk.com/threads/rear-engine-mount-replacement-tips.475677/

Hopefully I should get them next week and will try to work out how to fit them. I have seen a few articles on changing the Emira engine mounts and it appears to be fairly straightforward. My dealer has fitted them on other cars but not yet the Emira and was of the opinion that it was probably...

I appreciate it isn't a detector in the same way as your linked product, but Waze is a pretty good solution in UK and most of the rest of Europe.

I just ordered a set of Yellow and a set of Black from “Awesome” https://powerflexstore.co.uk/ I had to call them to place the order as they are not yet showing on their website. James at Powerflex said they are currently making them and shipping will start at the end of next week. Please note...

Some great news from Powerflex. This upgrade will transform the car for very little money. :) https://email.powerflex.co.uk/t/r-e-ttdduihy-jtjjlytda-f/

Very nice! I just found it on your journal. Very tempting, although my standard exhaust is sounding much better after a decent thrashing around the Alps.

have you had a response yet?

Apparently Powerflex have an established relationship with Lotus and they are are actively working on a design for their inserts.

I don’t think we need to lay down our jet washers quite yet. Responsible use on low power and directed with care. Snow foaming and wheel cleaning, again with care and attention to jet power, distance and direction. I only use a very low powered jet washer and I can clean my Caterham without...

Kimmax, how many miles have you done now? Was it bank 1 or 2 sensor that failed?

Photo was taken in the French sunshine outside the gates of Laurent Perrier Champagne 🍾

Not sure if the OEM mounts are a Toyota part or a bespoke Lotus item. Also are they the same as Evora?

Yes I left it half in and half out which gripped the tag well without it every moving despite many a mountain pass. I was worried about the windscreen or black area blocking the signal so took the first toll steady before the move to 30kph, full speed toll passing. After that it all worked well

Been home a week from a trip around France, Italy, Germany and Switzerland and passed many Tolls on French motorways without issue. I was using the "Liber-t tag" for tolls, which fits neatly into the slot in the plastic below the rear view mirror. Car and phone connection via the USB A...

Good News..... James at Powerflex has reported that if they continue to receive enquires for engine/ gearbox mount inserts for the V6 Emira they will develop an insert. Due to the number of enquiries already taken they are currently trying to obtain details of the Engine Mounts so that they...

The front number plate support is the same as the Evora as per parts diagram above. I ordered the 2a option from Paul at Christopher Neil (Oakmere) it was a straight swap with the supplied part from Lotus.

I have been using Phil at "create my plates" https://www.createmyplates.com His range of sizes is larger than most and a quick turn around. The only issue I had was a small bur on the front edge of the plate left by the waterjet cutting. I removed it but I would have gladly paid a bit extra...

My little reminder….

Powerflex have said they will look at making inserts if they have enough interest from Emira community. Email Powerflex to show interest so they may gauge the market. sales@powerflex.co.uk

Which one do you have? Do they need any consumables? Filters or resin?

It’s not every time I wash it and I did wash the car when I was in Switzerland in a self service booth and didn’t have a problem afterwards. Although it was a hot dry day and it was driven hard afterwards rather than a short drive and going into the garage overnight.

You could be on to something here. Thinking back my engine warning lights have each been after a wash. I don’t think the sensor fails straight away. I think it starts with a false reading with lean burn bank 2 calling for more fuel and the over fuelling kills the sensor. The state of the...

4000 miles on the clock with varied driving conditions, including many of the Swiss and Italian high mountain passes, the German Black Forest and back roads of France and Wales. Overall the car performs well and despite the issues, I am persevering and enjoying the up times. One area I would...

Having experienced a very similar breakdown with our Emira and the same frustration I can tell you it will look better in the morning. Agree we should not be subject to this but the consolation is when running they are spectacular

We are also about to join you in France with our Magma Emira. Approaching 3800km and we think the exhaust is getting nicely louder. So far on this trip we have turned heads is France, Switzerland, Italy and Germany and later today we will be back in France. 😁.

What was the diagnosis? New O2 sensor and reset the ECU?

I would feel happier with a couple of spare O2 sensors in the boot. 😉

Ok, so this sensor issues needs sorting and our holiday got off to a very bad start but now with four alpine passes under our belt I have a smile so wide! The way this car drives is sublime….. as I said to my girlfriend we all have faults but I still love my Emira and you darling 🥰😘
