Bought an OBD2 reader and seems the CEL is for: "Lost Communication with Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) Module," Anyone else had this? I can clear it using the OBD2, guess will have to see if it keeps coming back….

Thank you. Will check!

I spoke to Lotus, I only had updates done about a month ago so they’re all up to date. But frequently it just won’t start. Till a lock, unlock, hold the start button down etc, eventually it sorts itself. And now a frequently occurring CE light comes on. Is there a proper way to reset warning...

Hi V6 manual 2023 - regular Amber check engine light coming on - sometimes I can clear it, but not even sure how I’m doing it - hold the start button for 10 secs, unlock, lock car a couple of times. Eventually I can normally get it to clear. No other symptoms. Any ideas? Safe to drive while...

Can anyone in the UK give a breakdown of cost to have the 3rd Cat delete + valve controller? Parts and labour? Anyone know who can fit these in the UK?(ideally Midlands or not too far)

I can find no way at all of listening to audio / using infotainment with the engine off - surely it must be possible? Plays for about 2 minutes then the Low Battery - auto shut down message. Even tried plugging the trickle charger in, but it still happens…..anyone?

Hi jp129 It is possible that the new power wire is impeding getting that lower panel on but tbh I think it’s impeded by that cross strut before I can even get it close to getting it in to place. Did you have to modify that lower panel (by cutting out a slot) after running the new power wire? I...

Thanks Rapture Had a second go at it, just cannot get it into place - like you say, better to get it in as it will protect that live wire. Here’s a pic, maybe I have to remove more interior/trim to get at it - sorry, I’m reasonably handy generally although not very experienced with tearing up...

Can anyone help with my problem refitting the lower triangular portion of the fusebox panel? Sounds stupid but I just can’t get that bit back on!

That’s perfect. Done now. Only thing is I can get the main fuse panel back on but cannot get the lower triangular bit on, can’t get it to fit round that lower metal horizontal brace…..don’t suppose any tips for refitting this bit? I don’t suppose it’s that critical to have that lower panel back...

I get this issue too. Only about 2 minutes of listening to audio with the engine off and the Low Battery Auto Shutdown message. Is this by design and you can only use infotainment with the engine running or does it suggest my battery has an issue? Or is there a way to keep the audio /...

Great instructions from Crestima and others! I’m just struggling with one thing - Wanted to use the method running the power to that spare bolt under the Rear Left fuse box rather than drill into the rear hatch to the battery as it seems less messy. But I cannot remove the fuse box panel...

Sound deadening that rear panel makes a big difference?

That is so incredibly helpful to me, amazingly detailed, hopefully I can manage this - thank you so much @crestima ! Just wondering - speaker wires on RHD would be the same wouldn’t it? Presume just wiring in an extra speaker wouldn’t invalidate the Lotus warranty in any way would it?

Crestima, just ordered the same Kicker 10 inch sub and aim to do the same as you (mine is RHD though) As a bit of a novice in this area, could you talk me through the steps to get the speakers and how you connect the wires (helpfully described the colours above - thank you!) How do you remove...

Sorry complete novice here….. So that Kicker RCA thing as per the link above. (£30) A Kicker Hideaway sub (£300ish) 1) Splice the adapter to the existing sub wires and plug the Hideaway in, mount under or behind the seat. 2) And then have to get power to the battery in the rear compartment...

If one did add an active sub like the one I posted above, where are the RCA sockets to plug it in and where would you wire it in to? Easy job??

The difference to the Elise was absolutely enormous, but then you’re not starting from much! There may be room behind one of the seats in the Emira?! Just don’t know where you plug it in.

In my Elise I added this powered Sub (was a previous model but similar to this) and it made an enormous difference for less than £200. It looked messy as it just sat in the passenger footwell but worked effectively. Where do you access the wiring to put something like this in? It’s a powered...

😍😍😍

I don’t disagree with any of the above. I’m sorry not everyone has had a good experience. In terms of Lotus aftercare, I spoke to Central Lotus (Nottingham) a few days ago to chat about the car, they couldn’t have been nicer and more helpful. They let me know there were several outstanding...

I recently bought a Hethel Yellow V6 Emira from Auto100 after reading about many people’s experiences and thought I would share mine. Overall very positive. I’ve only had the car one week and driven approx 200 miles in it. The car had 500 miles on it and is absolutely mint inside and outside...
