I had a very bad experience with my Emira, I finally got contact with the then Lotus Aftersales Director, this was June last year if you call me on 07702347435 I will give you the contact details, let's hope he is still there!!!!

Hi, I just looked on SELOC at regions and saw you mentioned SW lack of events, are you from the Bournmouth area? I live in Blackfield on the Eastern edge of the NF.

I cannot do any of these dates as I am away in Zante until the 22nd September so it would need to be after that date for me.

Hi I cannot do Aug 30/31 or Sep 6/7, how many people are still available for 20th July or 26/27

None of the above, sorry to disappoint you.

I think it exploded by itself as most of the glass went out, it was the drivers door and no glass fell on me, the door, rear quarter panel and part of the tailgate were all damaged by glass fragments, even the door mirror bracket had a small gouge from the glass so it must have gone forwards as...

Has anybody had a door glass explode, shattering the glass and bits going everywhere, mainly out and damaging door and rear quarter bodywork.

Count me in.

I am in Crete at the moment, without my diary!!! I will get back to the group when I am home 9th June, I do know I cannot do 13th, 14th, 26th, 27th, 28th and 29th June, July 12th to 15th are out but I work at Thruxton and not sure dates I am required for.

I would be up for but it is date dependant.

The same with me, I dont know how he held on to his old job let alone promotion!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I totally agree with you!!

Yes I have the same problem it is a naff design, the plastic and clips are poorly made.

That's a nuisance, my dealer is Hendy at Eastleigh, I cannot fault the service I receive from them, Lotus is the cork in getting fixes quickly.

Hi, I have had a problem with this the car has been with my dealer for 3 weeks, Lotus cocked up sending the parts, apparently the steering wheel airbag is faulty causing the problem. I am told the part should arrive Monday and hopefully I will get the car Tuesday, who is your dealer?

Mine is will have been out for 9 weeks o n Thursday, absolute crap.

That's how mine started, then a white substance, presumably part of the resin, started to appear.

In general boats, even using polyester resins do not suffer from this sort of thing, yes osmosis was a problem but that now seems more under control. Bad process/design is probably to blame for these problems, not materials.

Does anyone have the email address for Christopher Hinks, Aftersales Direrector?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Handwashing Lotus recommends that your vehicle is only washed by hand. CAUTION: Automatic car washers and jet washers may damage the paint finish. Damage caused by using them will not be covered under the terms of the vehicle warranty. This is straight from the Lotus Manual!!!!

Mine is at a dealer waiting for HVAC parts it has been there 20 days now this time, it has been nothing but trouble since I got it certainly is not a great car, it is totally SH1Te.

So are you suggesting Geely with it's billions are not behind Lotus to sort problems. Totally agree, Lotus is not profitable in the UK, what do you think the result will be?

So are you suggesting Geely with it's billions are not behind Lotus to sort problems.

Hi, my car is just over a year old and has been a dog since new and is back at a dealer, Lotus have failed to diagnose the HVAC failure again, (no control of the flaps inside dash this time) so this is final straw and I have asked Lotus to buy the car back, they havent even acknowledged my...

No I wasn't offended, it is just my opinion, but I agree with you that Geely must be looking closely at the UK operation.

What a load of rubbish, it is costing Lotus lots of money dealing with this, it is mismanagement which is the problem, they need to fix the problems not keep making temporary fixes for ever and a day. I do not know what profit there is in an Emira but they certainly cannot have made a profit on...

I feel for you my Emira has been a pain since I got it and wish I had rejected in April 2023, I have wrongly persevered with it and it still has a heater problem and paint blisters. It is on its 3rd ECU, had complete new HVAC unit fitted then another resister pack, plus numerous visits with...

That's probably true they dont care about people with defects, they can wait we have already got your money attitude!!!

I am affected by paint blisters and in the poll, you say it is a paint defect but the concensous is it is caused by defective panel moulding. I am no expert on the type of GRP/Composite used for these panels, polyester GRP boats often suffered from gel coat blisters caused by osmosis, despite...

I totally agree, my car has been a disaster since it was built, if it wasn't for my dealer being top class the car would have been rejected by me, Lotus are the pits.

My car had it's first service on Monday and the dealer confirmed it had blisters on passenger door, apparently Lotus have no spare doors to sort this problem so there will be a long wait. The crap Customer Care continues!!!!!

Even if it is £10k low that is a massive drop considering it was £82k 9 months ago!!!! especially as it has spent a lot of time not working properly.

Just got a valuation from We Buy Any Car for my Emira which was registered 30th March, 2800 miles and has never run for very long without problems, the HVAC is not working properly at the moment so it wont demist the windscreen, I have put it in my garage as it is a pain will get it out when the...

No it didn't work , I called into my Lotus dealer Hendy Performance Eastleigh as I was passing them on the way to a friend, they are very good and just dropped what they were doing to try and get it to work. Unfortunatley they couldn't get it to work either and are going to seek advice, car is...

Just cleared data and cache, rebooted phone, I am going out about 3pm with Lotus so will give it a try. Thanks for advice.

The phone is definately compatible, Android Autio actually says Lotus wireless connection is available when in the car, but it wont connect, I am probably missing something but do not know why.

No not used it before the other cars have a good satnav unlike the Emira !!, phon is an LG G7 thinq.

I tried for over an hour yesterday doesn't want to know!!!!
