    Parking brake service message & wont start - how many others with this issue

    Last update cured the parking break service I've had since new in March but has left me with SOS fault constantly, regularly failing to start without waiting 5min and now a constant yellow engine warning light. Thier incompetence is now more impressive than the car 😆 I belive lotus have...

    SOS system fault

    I didn't get the sos fault once in the first 6 mths, plenty of other issues to keep me busy, it went in for the latest software issue and I now get it 9 out of 10 start ups It's certainly nothing to do with use, I daily mine and its appeared after 3hrs driving before. Points to it being a...

    New Jubu Aero (diffuser fins, splitter, swan neck wing)

    Not mad on the whole thing but I think if you want a rear spoiler the extension of the original shape is way better than the Swan neck that just doesn't suit it in my eyes.

    Emira OE exhaust with Miltek active valve controller

    Miltek did say they don't recommend running full closed all the time, which tbf is not a problem as they've been open 99% of the time, once on the motorway I put it in oem mode.

    anyone else worried about the negative attention? or has already received negative attention?

    Had nothing but positive attention, had some kids knock on the door the other day to ask politely if they could photograph the car 😄

    Had a good run out today with an rs3 and a 718 gt4, sat nav took us down some tight bumpy roads, I could keep the rs3 honest, the gt4 was just bottoming out and generally fidgety struggling to hold the pace. It may (almost certainly is) be the better track car but on British B roads I'm still...

    Two New Faults Today - Reversing Camera and Parking Brake

    I've had that from new back in early March, right up until the latest firmware update a few wks ago, now I get the sos failure warning that I've never had once before the update instead 😄🤦

    Went in for recal/updates, came out with a new issue

    Since the last update a few weeks ago I now get the sos warning on pretty much every start up, not had it once in 5mths before that, 🙄🤦🏻‍♂️ They also spotted the power steering leaking so it went back in (10th trip back) for that. The only thing they couldn't do was the wiper update as on back...

    It's really easy, just remove the last two rows of bolts on the defuser, that should give you just enough room to plug it into the exhaust valve (you can see that just below the number plate behind the mesh) and the tie wrap the spare cable and the unit up in front of the heat shield and behind...

    So been in today for its run in inspection/service and the recalls, updates etc. Although I'm in v2 wiper module and it works fine they want to swap it but it's on 10wk back order. Also noticed my power steering pump leaks on full lock so they will return to dealer trips 9 and 10. All minor...

    I don't get the I4 - what is the target audience?

    When you say get.... got once... it was boring so not likely again. But yes that's from the computer so could be telling porkies

    I don't get the I4 - what is the target audience?

    I would imagine the percentage of Emira owners, even those that daily it, that pay any attention to fuel consumption would be pretty small. If it is a concern then that does add to the i4 appeal as the v6 is pretty thirsty tbh. On a long circa 70mph motorway run I've had 36mpg but it's teens...

    I don't get the I4 - what is the target audience?

    It's different in the UK I suspect I grew up diving manuals and probably didn't have an auto car in the first 15yrs of my driving. I'd daily my v6 manual in traff8c without a second thought. Also your gas/petrol prices are about half what we're paying in the UK 😄

    I don't get the I4 - what is the target audience?

    Well in my defence the thread title kind of opens the discussion up in that way. We all had the same choice when choosing the engine years before delivery. I absolutely think the i4 will still be a good car in its own right and if the v6 did t exist no one would be upset about the i4. Its just...

    I don't get the I4 - what is the target audience?

    I don't get the i4 at all either tbh, it would have been easier to see a point of it if it was usefully lighter, say 80-100kg, I don't buy that pretty much any customers will notice the lower Center of gravity. Whilst I know the v6 has also had the same price hike that also seems to have damaged...
