From China maybe? No sanctions there. https://www.rferl.org/a/systema-investigation-sanctions-luxury-cars-russia/33340925.html

MOTOPOWER MP69033 OBD2 Scanner worked for me. £20 from Amazon.

Not exactly that issue. I had an issue a couple of times with the windows being rolled down halfway inadvertently due to the unlock button being held down whilst the fob was in my pocket and a few times just unlocking the car whilst I was in the house. The cover has helped with this, it's not...

I just got my order confirmation from the seller through by email - on this it doesn't mention anything about them being second-hand. So the web page was changed after this. Maybe I got lucky and got the last set of new ones? I will see when they arrive and let you know. To be honest even if...

Yes, just checked myself. The page now states these are second-hand and used. I'm pretty sure it didn't say that before.

Edit: OK be careful with this link although the page clearly shows both right and left sets of buttons when your order details come through in the email it states it is just the left side button set. You need to go back and order both left and right button sets, it is not obvious how to do that...

I have feeling that a petrol-engine Evija would miss their (Lotus's) point - that the Evija was built to showcase what an EV can do and that they can out-do any petrol engine. The Evija has 2,000 PS (1,500 kW) and 1,700 Nm of torque and weighs just 1600kg. For reference the Chiron Supersport...

Isn't the Evija a limited run of 130 cars and already sold out?

AI doesn't mention that Lotus Technology is majority owned by Geely - as this is not very clear in the press release either. So the part about Geely becoming more "passive" may not be correct.

From reading elsewhere Lotus UK was not a UK brand prior to this. Lotus UK was privately owned, 51% Geely, 49% Etika (the Malaysian company). Now that 51% of Lotus UK is owned by Lotus Technology which in turn is also part owned by Geely. It's not clear what %age Geely will now own of the new...

If I were to guess - and that's all I can do as there very little public detail; "non-cash transaction" means some kind of shares were exchanged rather than cash between Geely, Lotus and L Catterton, "pre-agreed pricing method" means some kind of pricing was agreed up-front possible the...

A put option is probably not good news. It likely means that Geely are selling back to Lotus at a fraction of what they paid for it and that Geely think there's no chance that they would have made their money back let alone any profit if they had held on to it. It's also very off-putting for...

Leather seats or alcantara? I tried both on a test drive and found the leather seats not to give that side to side support when cornering but you stick to the alcantara seats more and these seemed much better. I've was also told by the dealer that the alcantara ones are a bit lower so that helps...

The UK charges 10% on car parts imported from China although 0% for completed Chinese cars and has done for some time. https://www.whatcar.com/news/chinese-car-tariffs-will-not-go-ahead-uk-government-confirms/n27198

This has been solved now thanks to posters on this forum - see the "fake noise" thread here.

Perhaps but the only Emira I have seen in person with the issue had blisters all over the doors not just around a "metal strip/channel" and also along both sides of the rear pillars along and below the First Edition badge, not somewhere you would expect water ingress or any water to persist...

I drove an V6 and i4 back-to-back when doing my test drive. In the i4 doing some "spirited-driving" the auto kept the revs in the power band for the turbo - 4.5-7K - most of the time. If you are still running in and keeping below 4K then hopefully you will be pleasantly surprised when you can...

Just had this happen to me - happened twice now. Once after parking up for a hour or so, second time when starting a drive the next day. I can hear the fuel pump starting but the engine does not turn over when pressing the button. Waiting 27 seconds or any longer did not fix the issue...

You had to pay for software updates? Surely that is a warranty issue?

Just for your reference, not saying you should change phones - the same does not happen with Android Auto. The music volume is reduced during the "alert" but goes back to the same volume afterwards. So likely a Car Play thing not anything to do with the Emira software.

Nice - same colour and wheels as mine. Welcome and enjoy!

I've not had any issues with Android Auto and interruptions playing music. I've had a few odd bluetooth disconnections but if connected the music keeps playing. This is on a Pixel 7, using Symponium as the player.

You body your choice of course. But if that is the route you take, I've heard although manual transition is often preferred, 8-speed dual-crutch transition often feels faster...

I suppose if it makes Motley Crue sound like Dr Dre ... at least there is a silver lining to this issue... :p

A 4 year-old Evora costs £60,000+ in the UK at the moment. You have to go back to 2013 or earlier to pick up an Evora for £37K.

I did mine like this a week ago. I have the nail polish and remover left over - 99% left. If anyone wants to do the same I can send these on - just drop me an PM.

Obviously AI generated - there's no blisters on the top of the doors....

The knob was left in in place. It only took 5 minutes. I used a thin brush to paint in the indented decals, the nail varnish flows in well by capillary action it almost paints itself. Then with a bit of kitchen roll and nail polish remover removed any excess nail polish from outside the indented...

Coloured in the shift pattern on my gear stick as several others have done here. I "watered" down the nail varnish a bit to make it like a "wash" to allow the aluminium to show through the colour a bit. I now have black, red, yellow nail polish along with some (non-acetone) polish remover if...

I would be interested in buying these as well.

From what I've heard about rising prices in the US especially egg prices - an egg on the back window might double the value of your Emira :p

Possibly you are trying to read to much into the reasons and economics behind these decisions. There is the chance he is doing it simply to gain votes, it's a good populist headline; "Bring Jobs Back To America".

Yeah, it's not something we have in the UK. I've heard it exists in California though. 🤷‍♂️:p

They look great.

Might just be some lube used to help fit the glass during manufacture that was left behind and has melted in your California sun.

The only Emira I have seen in person with the issue had blisters all over the doors not just around a metal strip and also along both sides of the rear pillars along and below the First Edition badge.

I have to admit when I had a test drive in a UK i4 I didn't notice the engine noise particularly (got a V6 in the end). But the amp-on noise sounds really fake when you hear them back to back like that. And the non-amp engine noise sounds way better.

Oh for sure - if you're a leftie you're entitled to swap your wallet pockets at least. To be honest - I'm kind of ambidextrous and swap around all the time - I have trouble knowing left from right without carefully thinking about it. It's been infuriating my kids recently as they are learning...
