    Scorpion Tracker

    Thanks Mike, short answer is I don’t know, how would I be able to tell what’s causing it? I’m working on the basis that the battery is shot, but I don’t want to replace it and still have the same problem!

    No, it sits on my drive. I’ll try a new battery. Thanks.

    Scorpion Tracker

    The battery was fully charged by a ‘similar to C-Tec charger’ and a day later, I got a warning of low battery on the dash.

    Exactly what `I thought, but the reality has been very different

    Scorpion Tracker

    If you want it removed, you have to pay for an engineer to remove it. I’ve got the options of ‘pay to keep it’ or ‘pay to remove it’! I can of course just leave it, but was concerned that it is draining the battery as I get a low battery warning after two days.

    Scorpion Tracker

    Thanks SixSpeed. I believe you have to pay to have the Scorpion removed. Do you think it drains the battery much?

    Scorpion Tracker

    Has anyone got a Scorpion Tracker fitted to their vehicle? What are your thoughts, good idea or not? Does it drain the battery much? What discount did you get off your insurer?

    Auto100 knocked the price of the key off the purchase price of the car. I’ve now spoken to Lotus customer service directly and they’ve stated that Colchester should be able to supply the key and that they’re going to make contact with them. So progress of a kind! Also been trying to contact...

    Just been told by Lotus Colchester that I can only get a key from the dealer that I bought the car from? Surely that’s not right as Auto100’s tell me they can’t get keys and only authorised Lotus dealers can????

    Annoying Rattling Noise When Car is Warm

    So the noise wasn’t “what they all do” as the car, with less than 800 miles on it, is now on a low loader on its way to have a new clutch put in it!

    What did you do to your Emira today?

    Road noise is a very large part of the noise you hear when driving any car. The doors are responsible for a large part of this, so if you want to quieten the cabin, the doors are essential.

    Fitting a battery conditioner... Do's and Don'ts

    Any thoughts on this: I picked my car up on Friday from the dealer. I don’t know what state the battery was in. I drove it 130 miles. On Saturday I started the car without issue and moved it on the drive. I then cleaned it for a good 4-5 hours. The doors and boot were open for a good couple of...

    Annoying Rattling Noise When Car is Warm

    From a standing start you have to go through that rev range, unless you over-rev it and slip the clutch like a learner

    Komo-Tec power phase released for V6 Emira

    Some of these tunes limit the torque in the first 2 gears to protect the gearbox. Was this the case? I’ve heard that the Emira gearbox is a little fragile.

    Komo-Tec power phase released for V6 Emira

    Am I right in saying that exhaust emissions aren’t measured in the MOT, so removing the cat isn’t detected? I guess it voids warranty though.
