Ok, seeing as my experience is with the V6 manual we really need someone else with an i4 auto to confirm this.

Yes it should. The PDF handbook settings in Centre Display Screen show: General> Electric parking brake: Automatic activation/deactivation. You could try toggling it off then see what happens and then toggle it back on. On my V6 Manual it works as it should i.e. the handbrake comes on...

Just check that the settings haven't magically changed for both of these in the Centre Display Screen. I've turned off my mirror tilting when reverse is selected as it never went to a position that I wanted, just as easy for me to manually adjust it when I reverse.

Well, after cleaning out all the small stones trapped in here I had a look in my garage to see what I had to stop this. I've applied one strip of this 3mm thick draught excluder closed cell foam. It's tricky to do but I pushed it into the gap a very small way and then lifted it up to stick it on...

Well it got me looking at my wheel arches and I'm now trying to think of a way to stop those stones from collecting.

I thought I'd look to see what sort of rock collection my car was hoarding and found it was in to botany as well.

Spotted in Ipswich last Friday. I had just come off a roundabout and looked ahead and went through a moment of going is that one?.... yes it is! I've gone from not seeing any on the road to three in one week counting the red one at the Ipswich PPF Centre on Saturday. Picture from my dash cam...

Spotted in Hadleigh, Suffolk today. A seneca blue Emira parked up in the High Street. This is the first one I've actually seen on the road. I stopped and had a closer look but no one ran out to accost me!

Just to confirm the StopLock Pro Elite fits. It's best to turn the steering wheel a bit to be totally clear of the centre screen.

Hethel Yellow is a solid gloss colour. In sunshine it's a bright yellow, less so in the shade. Either way it's a great colour! The sunshine photo was taken with a compact camera, the shade photo with my phone, which might make a difference also.

As long as it doesn't follow through..... 😬

The main handbook says: With normal daily use, it should not be necessary to use a battery charger. In low usage conditions, it is important to maintain the battery charge state using a suitable trickle charger, or automatic battery management conditioner. and Starting difficulties may be...

I had some of this white round edging strip so I thought I would see what it looked like and it seems to go with my ice grey seats ok.

The Ice Grey is much better than I was expecting as it's a really good contrast with the rest of the dark interior. My first choice was the Tan but my wife didn't like that so it was one small compromise. Mind you she's not keen on the rest of car! :LOL:

Pick up day! V6 manual, Yellow over Ice Grey.

If they really have gone then you had a lucky escape. Have a look under different lighting to see if there are any traces. When looking at cars at night with my security cameras the infra red light picks up different panels like the plastic petrol flap on my Golf, this might spot your bird...

Yep, me too. Used to remove them from my motorbikes - especially the ones on the tank!

Looks weird. Maybe had a problem and pulled over thinking the grass was the level side of the road only to find a big dip.

E05 means the fuel has 5% bio-ethanol in it. E10 means the fuel has 10% bio-ethanol in it. The problem with ethanol is that older cars, mainly before 2002 don't like ethanol. Copied from a UK website: As a rule, drivers of cars registered prior to 2002 are advised not to use E10 in their...

The garden party was good last year so I'm sure you will enjoy it. The confirmaton email did take a few days to come.

Yes, I got the invites. I went to the Classic Lotus Garden Party last year anyway so went for the Donnington Park invite and got my confirmation. Sounds great. All I need now is my Emira before then!

The twist is on purpose: https://www.emiraforum.com/threads/emiras-still-being-built-with-twisted-seatbelts.3480/

Oh no, that's a shame, I was going for that as well. I suppose that's means you'll have to select the nearest dealer or have a home delivery.

Sounds like you are pre the software that introduced the starting issue. Although it should be fixed in the latest I would risk it for your trip. Where are you going in Europe?

This one? https://www.emiraforum.com/threads/factory-collection-picture.3367/

If there are no problems now I would leave it as it is. Do you know what version software you are on now compared to the latest? One update last year introduced the starting problem and then the one in January fixed it.

No worries, thanks for doing all this.

Ordered 2 :)

Maybe but I'm seeing a lot of non-Lotus dealers selling Emiras listed on Autotrader so it might be them that's buying on CarWow thinking they are going to make some big money.

That's exactly what I was planning on doing, I like it.
