Thanks Kitkat. I’ve just read your instructions ok another thread 👍🏽 The car is hopefully going into the dealer soon as I appear to have a very small amount of water coming into the cabin via the drivers footwell after heavy rain or washing. It’s very slight and only a couple of drips come...

Great, thanks. Easy to sort or best to leave it to the experts?!

Evening all I’ve just jumped into the car and my drive selector has come loose, like really loose! I’ve attached a video. The drive selector no longer works but I can just about get it to show on the screen and the select via that. Has anyone had this issue? Easy fix? Would you expect it to...

Same issue here. Only happens when I'm listening to Audible though. No issue when listening to Apple Music, which does return to the previous volume. It's probably going to be one of those things that we just have to live with........

Thinking about it, this may be where mine went for the doors as well. I used M&A to sort a new rear diffuser and they had loads of Emira coming through for doors so I may have confused myself!

I spoke to the team over at M&A Coachworks and they have sprayed dozens upon dozens of of doors on Emiras for this issue. They take around 10 days with the car, but the issue is getting the doors from Lotus in the first instance!

Had mine done by Silverstone and very happy with the service given. However, worth noting that they don't actually do much of the work. It gets sent down to M&A Coachwork in Berkshire for spraying as they are a Lotus approved body shop. I'd guess most service centres will send the vehicle...

Yep, but that’s a problem for 2 years down the road 😂 By that point, it’ll also be out of warranty so I’ll have a look around at independent Lotus specialists (although not sure they’ll be that much cheaper!).

I’ve got a V6 and was recently fortunate enough to get the i4 as a hire car for a couple of days. The i4 was great - no hesitations / delays with gear changes using the paddles and quick off the mark despite being 40bhp lower than the V6. It actually felt a fair bit quicker than my V6 as it...

Had my second service carried out yesterday at Silverstone. As always, excellent service from the dealership. I paid £680 as they honoured the pre price increase price. I was told the new price for a 2nd year service is now £761 (if I recall correctly).

ASAIK, it’s not fully open in sport and track mode at idle (but does open up at lowish revs). For those that I know who have the controller, they all leave it open all the time (you can program to start fully open when starting on the car). This means it sounds much better upon switch on. The...

I've done the 3rd cat delete and it transforms the car. I also added the Milltek valve controller, but the impact of the valve open or OEM is limited in my view. I'm convinced this is because of the cat delete and if the valve controller was the only mod, I'm sure it would make a bigger...

I got mine from these guys but via their eBay shop - I had to reach out to them to request the colour as it wasn't shown anywhere on their website. https://firanto.com/ Mine was for a verdant green Emira and the match was very good judging by the the small stone chip the detailer sorted...

I was coming here to say exactly this. The reality is, no one knows the definitive answer to exactly what causes the issue. However, I (and others) have been told that the issue is with the panel themselves and that sanding and re spraying will not sort the problem. We’ve also been told that...

Ok, the issue has now been sorted. All the problems above stemmed from a blown fuse (fuse 82). This was caused by the wire in the sun visor somehow getting caught and causing a short. That issue was fixed, new fuse popped in and all warning are now gone and I have interior lights!

Just to update, the issue has been found and fixed. The issue was the wire going into the sun-visor vanity mirror. This is where the installer suspected the issue would be and he was right! It’s very tight in there and whilst it was fine when I left having had the work done, the wires must have...

The USB is on a different fuse I believe. I think it’s the one next to the one in question. I took the 7.5amp out of that slot and tried it in slot 82 which is when I found out there was an issue as it blew straight away!

I do. Guess the “glove box switch” could be referring to that as well as the auto light switch when opening.

I thought it could be referring to the opening button, but that still works which tells me it must be mechanical 🤷🏽‍♂️

Wrapped and ready to roll…..

Booked in for Friday with the guy who did the sound deadening. Given 4 of the 6 potential locations of the issue stem from the headlining, he says it’s likely to be coming from there and if it is, it’ll be covered by his warranty. I did however have 2 questions I was hoping someone could...

Thanks for this. Definitely no water coming in, but it is possible that there’s an issue in the headlining i.e. with the overhead lights. This was dropped to apply sound deadening, so wondering if something could have been caught putting it back up 🤔

Turns out it's actually todays problem 😩 Decided to take the 7.5amp out of the USB slot and pop that into slot 82 and it blew straight away. Now the fun is trying to find out why.......I'm open to ideas!

Yeah, but that feels like tomorrows problem 😜 It’s a fair comment but I’m pleased to have “found” the issue. If it happens again, at least I’m one stop further ahead than I was an hour ago!

I'm in! Its a right bugger to get it out and I'm more than a little concerned about getting it back in 🤪 I've found the culprit........... Blown fuse as per suggestions. Pulled out what I thought was fuse 82 and it wasn't blown and I thought "bugger", that's not it. Pulled out the ones either...

Ok, daft question........... Is there a particular trick to removing the fuse box cover? I've removed all 4 "screws" holding it in but cannot for the life of me get it out. If I pull from the top I get caught on the underside of the glove box and I can't work out how to pull it from the...

Great, thanks. I’ll take a look in the morning. I’m guessing the ambient lighting is all linked to the area it’s on based on this eg the door handles would be 11 & 13, cup holders possibly 20 etc

Thank you 🙏🏽 This explains why the lights and rain sensor are causing an issue - they are on the same fuse! That said, the rain sensor issue appear to have righted itself as it’s no longer throwing that error, but still no interior lights other than the ambient lighting (does anyone know is...

I did think this could be the case but I wasn’t sure which fuse it would be 🤪 Is there a diagram anywhere as I can’t find one online? Someone on Facebook has suggested that maybe the wiring has come loose going into the unit and to pull it down and check, but I can see me ballsing that up and...

Evening all Not having much luck….. Having created a post yesterday about the SRS fault, I now have 2 additional issues. The first is that I’ve lost the interior lighting. This affects the main lights in the roof. They don’t activate on opening the door and can’t be switched on. I’ve also...

Lotus Silverstone. I’ve already dropped them an email but since last night I’ve also had the below 2 issues: Rain sensor fault Loss of Internal lights (just the ones above your head). The green light that is usually illuminated to indicate it’s on auto also no longer shows 😩

Can they read the code? I couldn’t find anywhere in the app I use that it was logged but would be useful to see if there is something logged that gives more info on the nature of the issue.

Thanks for the response. No, seats are stock. Just went out to have a look under the seats as I suddenly thought something could have come loose as they had been moved right back to clean the interior. All look very solidly in place. It was just this part that almost looked like it was missing...
