Let me know how it goes, mine aren’t as smooth as I liked them to be

Arrived and even did one better! Noticed the small ring should fit the key itself with some tinkering and ended up with this: Thanks @Gizmo750!

I don't think they can just continue deliveries with an active recall. I guess at least the dealer has to fix it before transferring the car to the new owner. As for the seatbelts recall there has been a (temporary) sales stop in Germany, at least so I was told by an official Lotus dealer.

The info is correct and I'd advice everyone to call their dealers and make them order the parts since they're on backorder already and it'll probably take a while to get them. While you're at it let them check if you're also affected by a seatbelt recall

Don’t bet on icons with Lotus 😂 Headlights icon is useless, yellow triangle sometimes stuck and shown without reason, no hill-asisst indicator, not even an ABS indicator (when actively interfering) as I recently learned. While there is automatic parking brake (turn on in the settings) and a...

Side note: It’s confirmed wipers can’t be fixed via software update, contact your dealer and schedule a replacement for the motors. It’s gonna be a while, as far as I know those are on backorder (of course, how could it be different).

184cm / 78kg Edit: Oppsies, didn't see who you quoted. But I can confirm my right knee gets tired after some time, however I'm probably not sitting in the optimal position

I’ve driven over 10k km, including 6hr+ trips and they are up to the task honestly. I’ve been on track days and they provide enough support. If you bought mainly for track events you might want to upgrade to buckets, but in this case you’re upgrading left and right anyways.

Having problems isn’t the problem. The problem is having them and not properly dealing with them while being completely silent about it

12000 km / about 7500 miles. I'm on my 4th HO2S now - always the "upper" one, Bank 2 (Bank 1 might be damaged as well, but that's not confirmed yet)

Can you specify where it recorded the low voltage? Or maybe have an OBD code at hand? Does your car run in a rough idle now? Me and my mechanic are on the hunt for some point of water intrusion destroying sensors. It seems to be a problem shared across some builds, so any info helps!

Sensor has been fitted. Looking at the live data I’m not 100% sure bank 1 (still the first sensor) is operating perfectly but the cars runs for now. Further diagnosis will have to wait until the chief mechanic is back in the house. Will do seatbelt replacement, wiper motors, 15k service and...

Which probably means there is more than one place that’s not water tight, since I don’t think a junction box in the front repeatedly destroys a O2 sensor in the back..

I think mine does. Have you refreshed the list?

I agree, that doesn’t sound right

I bet the Ferrari wouldn’t break down after a pressure wash. Not recommending it due to paint work or whatever I’m fine with that. If you’re telling me it’s "normal" a car like the Emira can’t handle the water well…

Count me in, will send the details via DM

I’ve had the "drop and recover" behavior before. I could force it by tapping the gas quickly while coldish (after cat heating phase. It’s a drop to almost stalling and then recovering to idle rpm. However I think that’s expected and just map related - also something you generally never ever want...

"Doing nothing" is expected since those are Heated Oxygen Sensors (HO2S). They take a little to reach operating temperatures

My drive home was almost 700km, should be fine haha

It’s a Bosch one (Somewhat custom, not available on the open market) and it should be between 0.2 and 0.8. I can recommend "Car Scanner" on some Apple Device, especially on Mac you can read the graphs more easily

Curious: What exactly doesn't work? Do you have any OBD messages or something?

New sensor has been ordered and will be put in in the next few days. Investigation will have to wait till the head mechanic is back. Guess I'm not washing the car till then

@TomE can we get something like pointer-events: none; added on the Emira image shown in the background of thread replies? At least on iOS you cannot copy text currently, since a prompt to save the bg image is being triggered before text selection kicks in

My trigger point. Anyone got an OBDII scanner? Please check the O2 Sensor voltage, especially bank 2.

True, but it’s linked to the water temperature, not oil. Wouldn’t use it as a "let 'er rip" indicator 😂

I’m fine with having to go easy on the brake area with jet washes, but affecting some sensors that could easily be affected by everyday rain, moisture and highway spray is a clear defect for me. Yes it’s a high class car, but it’s not on THAT level.

I think let's say a short just destroys the sensor. Electronics behave erratically once operated outside of specification (Say overvoltage). This time it’s stuck at 0.15V and does nothing, fuel trim for that bank being 0%. Last time it jumped like crazy resulting in fuel trims between -30% and...

Top to bottom, I was especially careful this time. Only went a bit sideways to reach under the doors bottom "edge". I’ll be dropping my car off in the next days when I’m gone for a bit anyways, so they can go through it again.

The wash ends with a deionized water rinse (spot-free drying) which is a poor conductor. Whatever that could mean. Fact it’s permanently damaging the sensor, since it stay’s dead, far after drying time

@EFE any chance you washed the car shortly before your sensor went boom? For reference I’m washing in a self service booth (pressure washer) with good distance to the car and obviously not pointing it directly into any openings. Not that they should be able to handle water through obvious...

Well here we go again. Made it about 800km. O2 Bank 2 (the third one total now) left us today. Live data shows it’s voltage stuck. P223D is being reported again. No O2 related codes yet, but last time they only showed up at a later time too. HOWEVER I come with good news - well maybe: Im...

Gotcha, I was under the impression that they all run on 5V by default. I have yet to decide on one to get :D

Fuse NR 54 is described as Theoretically can’t one bridge that fuse into another always on one? Best case one of the spares is always on with the same rating? Would remove the need to run a new wire and makes use of the rear view usb instead. Of course not draining the battery using either of...

If it’s anything like the other more modern cars I had it doesn’t fully open the flap (not even in track) until a certain rpm is reached. Same with the rev limiter in idle (hint: just press the clutch in fully and it vanishes 😂)

Running out != "On reserve" warning

Engine light explains it then, welcome to Lotus - One of us! Depending on how far away you are from the next dealer I’d advise to buy a OBDII scanner to see what’s going on.

Low fuel always comes paired with the yellow triangle. Do you have a triangle illuminated or a engine warning light? Triangle alone should never light up according to the manual, but it happened to me before. A few minutes of downtime did reset it.

My better half complained getting dizzy after turning the AC on two times now and I may remember the same on an occasion (keep in mind this could be biased) so I ordered a Freon detector. AC seems to be working fine otherwise, but not really trusting Lotus on this.. 😂 I’ll let you know if...

There definitely is a sound on full lock, especially if you press it into the lock. Additionally I had something that sounded like a creak from the dash that turned out to be a stone that managed to fit itself nicely into one front tyre and made a sound while slow turning (mostly noticeable in...
