    $1149$ Oil change price

    https://www.lotuscars.com/en-GB/aftersales/fixed-price-service All of this nonsense certainly makes the UK fixed price servicing look reasonable, even if the first service is just an oil and filter change, do any firmware updates outstanding and recalls necessary, update SatNav maps, a basic...

    Are any i4 owners considering an oil change after running in?

    And all firmware updates, SatNav map update, and any rectifications/recalls outstanding (e.g. HVAC water shielding) - mines booked in for 1st annual service in July…..

    Infotainment media playback from USB problem.

    Or use something like mp3tag or even iTunes (if you must!) to add track numbers in the metadata - this may work if that's where the audio unit is looking…. This also allows album art embedding into individual song files which may speed things up… My "local" music on iPhone is curated using this...

    Air con known issue -no fix yet [EDIT: now with official fix]

    When I collected my car (ex-dealer demo car 3 months old and only 250 recorded miles with working HVAC) my 200 mile journey home was mostly in pouring rain and heavy road spray. The fan resistor pack gave up within a few days of that…..

    Air con known issue -no fix yet [EDIT: now with official fix]

    £14k :oops: or £1.4k ?- it's around 10 hours labour maximum and a £40 part for the HVAC resistor replacement, plus the new rubber shield..... £14k sounds like either a LOT or a typo.....

    Lotus Boss Quits

    Probably not the only reason, but Lotus were supposed to be building three new factory units at Hethel - one of which was to be the Type 135 assembly line, and the others a logistics warehouse and staff building - but there has been a bureaucratic delay (sound familiar?) in the granting of...

    Lotus Emira Key Fob cases - initial run

    Having them together sort of defeats the object of the tracker - especially is the car is stolen with keys. Probably better to use the Lotus Scorpion smartphone app (settings, Phone Tag = Enable, at least in the iOS version) and leave the actual fob locked away at home if you can...

    Japan - Navigation app recommendations?

    Not if you download local maps for countries needed whilst at home, which are updated monthly (for a small subscription). Just the GPS signal needed, of course though, as it would be with any GPS device whether phone-based or hardware-specific .... https://www.sygic.com/gps-navigation

    Official Lotus carbon fiber bits and other upgrades coming for the Emira

    If history is any guide to the future, I wouldn't hold my breath until such parts are (maybe?) available for future models, at which time they'll appear in the parts catalogue (which hasn't even appeared online in Lotus customer portals yet for the V6 FE....)

    Japan - Navigation app recommendations?

    If you don't want to have to rely on a mobile signal (i.e. have local, downloaded apps and just rely on GPS signal) I've found the Sygic app to work very well as an alternative to Google Maps or Waze - there's a free trial and a small annual subscription with worldwide maps included...

    First Edition vs First Edition 2.0

    V6 FE 2.0 is a non-official designator which refers to the second allocation batch of V6 FE's for the North American market only. It's nothing to do with the AMG 2.0 litre engine variant! The second allocation batch of V6 FE's for N America had access to the 7 additional colours launched around...
