So quick update. I booked the car in last week with Stratton Motor Company which is Lotus approved servicing nearest me (and the factory). Told them the issues ans they said I’d have the car back the next day. That was supposed to be Wednesday but today I got an update and they let me know a...

It appears the steering rack/power steering is a common problem on these. Rang Stratton motor company over a week ago and when I booked my car in they thought it would be another leaking rack as several have had the issue. Turns out mine does too!

I will say this to everyone who is waiting and frustrated (like I was). The car is phenomenal.

Yes but that’s what 2 miles at most? 20 miles is a joyride

My car and a mates LC

great write up. I’ve only had very minor niggles in my 650 miles so far and it’s been really reliable. Hoping I don’t jinx it now but seems like they are resolving these issues at production now

Nik Key is the finance manager at Lotus. If your car is ready and you just need to pay for it, he can help

Same here! There’s no reason why it should be much more than this form anywhere. Even getting fuel would be less than 10 miles. Anything above this is concerning

Did that in the end but wanted to avoid Amazon 😅

Yea I thought Amazon would be the only place. £86 with the M8 eyelet in the end 😬

Anyone got any links or recommendations on where to buy these. Halfords don’t do ctek anymore and the nano doesn’t go to M8 eyelets so looking for the right one!

I mean you can fault them. The car should be fine/replaced/fixed right now. I can’t believe it’s taking so long. Also a Mini for a courtesy car is unacceptable for an 80k car. This whole thing is frustarsrijr a shel its ok you’re not missing much. Pouring down with rain here and the car is left...

Yep. Looks really nice. It’s not in your face, quite subtle

A week ago when I got my car

Looked it from what I could tell. Really nice colour

I saw an i4 in the factory with Atlantis blue and it’s stunning. Real RSP supra vibes. Would have had this over Seneca if I had the choice but still love my Seneca anyway 😅

They said to me they’re not doing it anymore due to the timescales

Im finding it’s twisted when clipped up and the twist ends up on my shoulder or chest which isn’t the most comfortable! Not the biggest issue but just wouldn’t want it like that in a crash. Either way just to update I contacted customer care who just said contact Stratton motor company (called...

They’re up to 20-23 a day now so will easily achieve those numbers

They’re definitely not meant to be like that. Just because they are all like that doesn’t mean it’s correct.

Definitely a possibility. Brakes are definitely bed in, they just don’t feel as good as the test car I drove. Nowhere near in fact

Ok it needs to go back to Lotus then as they definitely aren’t sharp. They’re really quite gentle until you stomp on them

Some photos from the weekend with a mates LC500. Makes the emira look small in some ways!

So this weekend has been an epic time with the Emira, really loving it as a car. Heading down to Eastleigh to see some friends and set a route avoiding motorways. Took longer but breaking the car in as it should. Now I’m back the car is up to 480ish miles. It gets head turns everywhere it goes...

Been driving my tour suspension and keeps perfectly compliant in the corners but handles the UK roads fine. Have to say for UK roads tour is the way to go!

Thanks Tom! It’s a little off course but I’ll try and make it over. Might be a bit late by the time I got there though 😅

I honestly couldn’t and my dad took a snap of it 😂

What is that supposed to look like? Mines seems to be a rubber pointed thing inside the gap?
