    Poll for Those with Paint Blistering / Bubbling Defect

    Thanks Nellie. Literally just got off the phone from them. The guy I spoke to (in sales rather than service as they are all off today), said they’d had 5 or 6 come through and are generally now just replacing doors. Photos sent and hopefully the warranty claim will start tomorrow when the...

    Poll for Those with Paint Blistering / Bubbling Defect

    We’ve got ~25% of all voters with issues here. Clearly this will be a fair bit higher than the average as people are coming here with problems, but even if you assume it’s well overdone, I’d say you can still expect a fairly high number of cars to be affected. Plus there are a decent amount of...

    Poll for Those with Paint Blistering / Bubbling Defect

    Now I’ve gone over the car with a fine tooth comb having seen the bubbles, in the right light and from the right angle, there is a fairly visible line where they will have sanded to (clearly not a straight line), before then spraying.

I’m the second owner and now I’ve properly looked over the drivers door after seeing the bubbling, it’s 100% already had a sand down and respray under warranty to “fix” the issue. Just goes to prove that the issue isn’t with...

    Squeaks and creaks

    Evening I’m getting a fair few squeaks and creaks in my early 2023 Emira (it’s new to me so I can’t say if this was the case from the get go). Most of them (although not all) appear to be coming from the centre console (see video). Is this normal, or is this particularly bad? Any views on an...

    Recalls not carried out at service…

    Hi I’m the 2nd owner of a March 23 registered Emira, which I picked up just over a week ago. Today I emailed Lotus CS to double check that all recalls had been sorted at the first service, which was carried out in February this year. To my surprise, the below are outstanding: 2023/02R – Dry...

    White seats - best way to protect them?

    100% this product. I’ve used it on all my previous vehicles and have zero complaints. It’s also the product that the detailer I use for ppf and ceramic coating recommends.
