    I took a similar photo of that row as well but also this one of the fronts. Mine's the yellow one : ) Great to see so many Emiras at one event.

    Attaching the Car key to other keys

    I use one of these but I don't attach anything to it, it's just to protect the key. @Bancho Can you still buy them on their own and not in a presentation box? https://banc-tech.myshopify.com/products/keycover-compatible-with-lotus-emira-key-with-giftbox

    Poll for Those with Paint Blistering / Bubbling Defect

    According to an earlier post (July 3rd 2024) Lotus told SJones: “Modified Doors have been fitted at production since 14-06-2023. The way to identify if there are the later spec doors is to check the primer on the inside of the doors, to see if it’s Black/Blue is correct. If it’s white it’s the...

    Hi from UK - Emira V6 on order due end August 24.

    Were you driving down the A140 last Saturday (31/08/24) with another Lotus behind you? I half remember that number plate. Normally my dashcam gets the plate clearly but not this time.

    Newbie Help in Essex UK

    Whereabouts in North Essex? I'm in Ipswich, reasonably close. Also where are you thinking of getting the car from? Lotus Essex might drive one round if you were getting it from there.

    Unfortunately this doesn't happen in the UK, only in the USA as far as I know.

    Poll for Those with Paint Blistering / Bubbling Defect

    I didn't think they were building UK V6's at that time? Did you buy one of the pre-configured cars direct from Lotus? If so it could have been built in 2023. I bought mine from Lotus in June and it's finished build date is in November 2023. It would be worth phoning up Customer Services and...

    Removal of privacy tint rear

    It's in the glass. Someone on here has changed a rear screen, not easy but doable.

    Lotus Certificate of Provenance!!! I finally received mine!!

    Very nice but I will wait until they stop the First Edition production so that it can say 1 of 10 of this colour or 4 of 25 with this interior etc rather than the 25th to have this or that. Still, it had more interesting information listed than I was expecting so I might crack early!

    What did you do to your Emira today?

    I replaced my left rear tyre after clipping the only kerb for miles on a narrow UK country road! I can live with the wheel damage as I got a stone chip on one of the front wheels within the first week of getting it.

    Tire pressure alert

    Ha, just realised you can use the repair kit compressor for just inflating tyres - I thought it was just for inserting the gunge! I had bought a Michelin Programmable Inflator with Quick Release Valve after borrowing someone's simple inflator with the screw on end which I found annoying to use.

    Lotus Emira Detailing Tips and Tricks

    I use a paintbrush, works so far on the small UK bugs in the corners and grill.

    Intermittent failure to start

    I agree. I stopped using Shell V-Power 99RON octane because of the spluttering starts (would run ok once started) and switched to BP Ultimate 97RON octane with no starting issues.

    What did you do to your Emira today?

    Went to the Lotus Factory at Hethel for "The Taste Of Lotus" with two 15 minute drives in one of their Emiras on the Hethel Test Track. There were two great instructors, one of which was Martin Donnelly. What an experience to drive on their track being first shown how fast you can go in these...

    Securing Frunk

    I was curious as well and opened up the front soon after getting my car. I also took loads of photos. This one shows the stay in place holding the front cover up. I can see the same shaped receptacle on yours, although I wouldn't describe it as a plate as such.

    Scorpion Auto tracker registration

    My Dealer (Lotus Essex) set it all up. They are also Scorpion fitters so know what to do. I got the Lotus Scorpion account details 4 days before I picked the car up and installed the app straight away. Make sure you install the Lotus Vehicle Tracker app rather than Scorpion's own app. I even...

    The 1st Edition isn't exclusive

    I had never seen an Emira on the road until I got mine in June. Then I saw three, one parked up and the other two going in the opposite direction. I partly put it down to me just going for a drive at a good time when the weather is sunny and the other people doing the same. I'm getting used to...

    What did you do to your Emira today?

    If you intend to leave it on all the time don't forget to check your footage at night as the image will be darker/different. I leave mine on but I'm not doing much night driving.

    Fitting a battery conditioner... Do's and Don'ts

    You don't need to remove the cables to fit the CTEK charger cable. Just undo each nut and connect the correct CTEK terminal one at a time, that's the way I did it. There are a few ways to route the cables, the positive (red) is the one that needs to be done carefully so that the plastic cover...

    Cold start stalling

    I had no cold start problems for the first 650 miles or so but then it happened, it would start and run roughly for a few seconds then stop. The second start would be absolutely normal. This has happened for every cold start each day for about 500 miles. I know the dealer filled up with...
