From the service notes 😲 : Depressurise AC system (1 page) Disconnect Battery (1 page) Drain Coolant (1 page) Remove front fender left side (3 pages) Remove front fender right side (repeat of 4.) Remove radiator Duct left side (1 page) Remove radiator Duct right side (repeat of 7.) Remove...

According to the service notes, if it's the fan controller module that's attached to the side of the "big heating box" then it's just that part, but the "big heating box" has to come out to get to it...... According to my factory contact they should have first tried software update, then...

Mine too - except that it had done 245 miles as a dealer demonstrator already....

Me too - but waiting for service centre to confirm appointment and parts availability....

Once initial production is stabilised Lotus have historically, made factory/production line model year changes around September each year and list changes these against VIN numbers in the Service Notes - which makes sense in most territories (if not the USA) and especially where registration...

I suspect that they're holding off to add in all of the i4 and ADAS stuff which is, at least in Europe and the UK, delayed (probably) until Q1 2024....

You could always do what I did and pick up a dealer demo V6 auto (for now at least) with very low miles for less than your preseved i4 price, let alone the current V6 auto price - I doubt you’d be disappointed 😏...

I suspect that they’ve just forgotten, but according to the manual you can do it yourself and save a trip back :

Went "home" today.....

Strictly speaking, that's not even legal in the UK.....

I'll just leave this here (Lotus Type 135 to be Hethel-built in a new factory unit on site): https://media.lotuscars.com/en/news-articles/lotus-reveals-pioneering-blueprint-for-next-generation-electric-sports-cars.html

3. Lotus Type 135 (electric sports car) will be the direct competitor for this - Hethel-built in a new factory unit/production line also being built soon (along with new logistics and office buildings) on the Hethel site...

It's not only Toyota with a lookalike - probably just the result of modern design trends and wind tunnel modelling......

Hi All - picked up my 23 plate ex-dealer demo last week (must likely a June 23 build - had the new wiper motor already from the factory) but my heating/aircon seems a bit weak too. Whilst the fan (usually)starts, the air distribution flaps move (I can hear them) and the temperature varies at the...

Navigation seems just OK to me - reroutes round traffic (in the UK at least) and shows speed cameras but I can't find any way to set an audio alert for these. Trip B function is explained in the main handbook (pages 76 and 80) that's a download from Lotus - English version here ...

It's here!

Yesterday my ongoing Lotus Emira First Edition i4 ordering saga (which started on 8th July 2021!) came to an end when I collected this 3-month old, 250 miles, ex-demonstrator Lotus Emira First Edition V6 Auto in virtually the same specification, and on the same day that Lotus Cars refunded our...

Hopefully around that at worst - my "new" (3 months/250 miles) ex-demo V6 FE Auto will have done 14% already (at someone else's cost) if you take current list price with OTR costs, including 1st Year Road Fund Licence) vs. what I'm paying on collection on Wednesday....... :)

Agreed, but unfortunately, the i4 Emira engine cover isn't supplied by AMG as it's specific to the Lotus implementation, and is almost certainly fitted far later in the production process..... Without the cover it looks like this :

scarzie said: Interesting that they're listed as MY2023, aren't all US cars supposed to be MY2024? In the past, Lotus have changed their model year (in terms of any specification updates, etc.) build designation around September of the previous year. However, in the UK and much of Europe we...

More likely building V6’s for U(SA)Lot and i4’s for the China market…..

Yes - and the seat frames are made by Lear, and upholstered in-house by Lotus…..

It’s just been been relit for UK and Euro i4’s with more indeterminate delays announced…..

There are some "self fit" patterns available here : https://www.aliath.co.uk/search?page=1&q=emira (which may or may not be the same as the pro-installers templates of course...)

Only 750 to go then :)

Thanks - my strong recommendation would be to not take an i4 at the current revision without driving one first..... ;)

Cancelled i4 FE, bought V6 FE Auto...

I'm out - and then back in again..... So today I cancelled my UK i4 FE order - it was, allegedly, UK production number #47 so some of you may have moved up a spot. Amongst the reasons for this are (in no particular order): Ongoing delivery delays – no longer an acceptable timescale for...

I'm out (but in again) - see other thread.....

So far - I've asked Lotus Financial Services (who own the service pack product), a factory contact (who has asked other factory contacts) and my local service agent (who should have standard i4 fixed service rates by now) and the consensus is that :

The whole UK direct sales process is currently just a massive clusterf*3k. That is all..... ;)
