    2025 Model Year Emira?

    They were in the distance so couldn't get a close up to see the whole car and couldn't get an overall view to gauge but they certainly didn't look out of place. Someone back in 2022 produced this in Isotope Green: https://www.emiraforum.com/media/7-isotope-green-jpg.3278/

    2025 Model Year Emira?

    I was at the factory a couple of days ago and I saw some 2025 model Emiras on the production line and in final inspection. The only difference I could see was that they had black nose badges.

    What did you do to your Emira today?

    Went for my 3rd Factory tour yesterday. We've done it once a year so far. As always it was excellent and different each visit and more pertinent this time as I could go in my Emira. We saw plenty of V6's being built. Also saw some 2025 model cars with black nose badges. Very interestingly we...

    Increase in road tax (VED) to hit the Lotus Emira V6

    UK deliveries should be 2025 onwards. My original order was 2025 before I cancelled and got an orphan. There was a time when the Lotus configurator was saying 2026 but it's reverted to 2025. When production ends is anybodies guess these days but 2027 has been mentioned.

    Sat nav sound has disappeared

    In the Centre Display Settings in the Audio section there is a separate volume control for Navigation. It would be worth checking that first.

    26 / 5.000 Question about Ctek maintainer

    I've been using it on the Car setting for my V6. The battery should be the same for the i4. The Emira manual says it's a Platinum AGM096E. In the CTEK manual the Car Normal Battery Program (14.4V/5A) is for "....and many AGM batteries". The AGM Option (14.7V/5A) is for charging most AGM...

    Manual opening of boot( trunk)

    When I got my car this panel was actually open and I didn't notice for a week. When I went to put the panel back in place it is really stiff and not exactly easy to do so I can imagine it feels really hard to open it. Plus it not exactly easy to get to either!

    Is this foam trim supposed to be on the hood?

    About 100mm of mine on the drivers side came loose within days of getting the car. I stuck it back down with double sided tape.

    My launch control doesn't work

    Regarding the headlamps fogging up on the inside the handbook recommends that you wash the car by hand only. It then goes on to say to wash the underside you can use a pressure washer but do not use on the bodywork, headlights or around protective gaiters used on suspension, brake or powertrain...

    Battery Tender?

    So far no UK owner has mentioned getting one from Lotus with their car and I think someone would have piped up by now, so I think that's it.

    Flat battery in less than 2 weeks

    I don't understand the need for the boot lock screwdriver trick. I close the boot on the cable with the whole car locked. It stays on charge for the longer periods I'm not using the car with the CTEK cutting in as and when it needs to. By the way, "my trick" is to hang something from the rear...

    Scorpion Auto tracker registration

    I've no problems with the app on android, been using it since June. I'm on a cheap Motorola G14 with 128GB storage. The app itself doesn't use much storage and cache, currently 279MB on mine. I know you've force stopped the app but have you cleared the User data and Cache? That might do something.

    Uneven tire pressure changes?

    I'm seeing this for normal road use, though not by a full 1 psi. I'll set all the tyres to the correct pressure and they will match across axles sometimes but invariably the right hand side will go higher. When they do all match (after the rights being higher) I feel like I've won something...

    Emira Car Covers

    Having just done an 800 mile round trip to rainy Lanark in Scotland last weekend I can understand the need for a cover! I don't have a cover but I don't think it would be a good idea putting it on a wet car. What I would say is if the car is clean and wet and it has stopped raining you could use...

    2024 Oil change

    I reset mine after trying a number of times. I'd actually given up and went back to it the next day to see that I had managed it.

    Scroll down to the bottom. The basic warranty, Paint, and Anti-corrosion paragraphs appear after a flashy animation.

    UK Insurance by Lotus themselves

    I thought that might be the case, mine was £624 with Admiral (Gold) in June. I hope Admiral keep being that competitive in the years to come.

    Gap between door and rear quarter panel

    Well, I've tried to take the picture as close to the same angle as yours and mine does look like the gap is smaller than yours at the top and indeed all along. What is the front of the door's fit like, is the gap smaller than the rear? Mine are the same. Have your doors been off or replaced to...

    Apparently launched today by Lotus, UK only. Will be interesting to see how it compares to other insurers on cost etc. https://www.lotuscars.com/en-GB/lotus-car-insurance

    Gap between door and rear quarter panel

    Just measured the gaps on my doors front and rear and on both sides. They are a consistent 3 to 4 mm measured with one of those clear plastic rules and old eyes. Looks fine to me.

    Paint blistering on the Rear Quarter Panel...!!! Am I the first??

    The only way I could "easily" tell was to fully open the door and look at the drain hole at the very front bottom. By shining a light into the hole you can just about see the primer. On my 1st November 2023 build car it looks like it's the darker blue/black primer. 🤞 You may be able to see...
