Fitting a rear wing on a car (like the Emira) that will only be driven on the road can really only be for the looks. If you like the look then do it - it's your car. I'm not a fan of them personally.

Good grief, thankfully it didn't get sucked further in. It looks like you are doing it right. Maybe the official 2 seconds feels like 5? Would be interesting to know if you can start to roll back after the system does release the brakes. I know it should but just to prove it is really releasing...

Interesting, why do Bell & Colvill have these?

So, it's gone up to 68 cars on sale at AutoTrader. It doesn't look like prices have changed much.

Then you need to get it, from what I read it fixes a lot of issues, starting and hill start being two of them.

Have you got the latest software update? It was released mid-January.

I'll take two please. I've also Private Messaged you (if that's what the Start Conversation thing is :) ).

I'm sure I read that the resister pack was being encased in a waterproof covering like resin or something.

The manual says: Recommended Fluids and Lubricants Emira V6 Engine Approved Product: Total Quartz 9000 Energy Viscosity / Quality Standard: SAE 0W/40 / API SN: ACEA A3/B4 So I would start there and do comparisons with other makes if you want to change brand otherwise stick to the recommended...

Yes, definitely some bargains there now if the spec suits you, I'm willing to wait for my on order car to be built :)

There's been about 64 for the last few weeks and it went to 59 yesterday so yes they are selling. I'm not sure about the prices rising though.

Is it not just the Audible feedback for locking has been set?

It all gets added to the final cost in the end. I think I'm one of the few that does read manuals but I bet lots of people don't - my neighbour doesn't. Reading the PDF isn't too bad on the PC, probably ok on a phone if needs must.

Yes, Sport as well but not as much: The manual says that Sport mode, (along with other things) has the following effect: A reduction in ESC settings allow for increased power-induced wheel slippage thresholds and no throttle reduction on understeer.

Whoa, that's good!

My local dealer (Colchester) said they were about £140 for a printed manual, which I thought was about ok. 😬 The downloadable PDF manuals are protected as well so you can't even print the odd page out yourself unless you start taking screen grabs.

What driving mode were you in? Tour or Sport?

Well I like Hethel Yellow, no black pack and tan leather.

This sounds like something I would do. Just wondering what happens when the car goes for a service and the mechanic is used to it being on auto? I think I would set it back to auto for those occasions just in case.

Download the PDF manual here: https://www.lotuscars.com/en-GB/emira-handbook Makes it easy to search for things and you can keep it on your phone.

On the test drive I had the bite point was low down, lower than I was used to, and of course I stalled it. After that I was ok but cautious, particularly at traffic lights where I did some quick starts!

Why the tweak to the clutch bite point? Was it too high or too low?

It will be interesting to see how quickly the numbers come down as the summer approaches. For me not one is in the spec I want. What's the story behind not many Emiras getting delivered in the UK in 2024?

Was your Tracker factory fitted?

The Evora has similar issues filling oil. I saw this aluminium filler neck extension recently when someone was wondering if it would work for their Emira. https://www.monkeywrenchracing.com/product/esc-oil-filler-neck-lotus-evora-09/ Also this though the Amazon links show unavailable parts...

We don't really have the equivalent system in the UK to the USA Window Sticker. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monroney_sticker

Surely is must be for the SOS system?

At least it won't be as much as servicing a Ferrari engine, I reckon. :) I came across this recently with the engine out for servicing. Looking closer inside the engine bay it was designed well enough for it to be an easy enough job.

For the UK the fixed price servicing cost is listed here: https://www.lotuscars.com/en-GB/aftersales/fixed-price-service Obviously NZ will be different but it will be a good guide.

As well as the above the manual also says: Switch off all electrical loads and remove the keyfob from the vehicle cabin.

Make sure the battery is fully charged is the only thing I can think of.

From the manual:

I wonder what that is normally for?
