    Lotus halt all delivery to the US.

    Yes, but……. It goes back in on Monday to fix the issues that a) they missed last time and b) the issues they caused doing the work last time

    Lotus halt all delivery to the US.

    Mine’s a V6 manual. Performance is good, but it could do with a bit more and the steering’s not as good as the Evora Reliability….I haven’t got the time to list out all the issues I’ve had. In six months I’ve had the car for 5 weeks and the rest of the time it’s been in the dealers getting...

    Doc’s JB4 OBD wire routing DIY

    I’ve noticed it does that, I presume it’s something to do with your IP address. I’m in Switzerland for work. I was in Prague last week and it changed it to Czech!

    Well this is new news! So how long do you need the OBD cable connected, before you can go with map2? I wasn’t going to connect and OBD and probably wouldn’t have bought it if I’d known that.

    It was only a 2,000 mile service!!

    Hi Roger, sounds like you have some of the issues I had. What dealer have you given the car to? My car went in after 6 days and stayed there for 4 months! Can you send me Matt Windle’s email address as he doesn’t respond to any of the letters I’ve sent to him. Having had mine back for a couple...

    Possible to Adjust Door Mirror Position

    I am, but only because they’ve caused a new issue, so they have to fix it. Once it’s complete, I won’t be using them again. Unfortunately I don’t have anyone local other than Hatfield, but they didn’t fill me with any confidence when they wouldn’t work on my Evora as “they weren’t trained for...

    Possible to Adjust Door Mirror Position

    This was one of the issues raised with my car and the fact that every now and then the mirror wouldn’t fold out (it’s also a little loose). None of these three issues were fixed, despite the dealer advising it was done and they’re back on the list for when my car goes back in.

    Isn’t this only an option on the 2.0i and not the V6?

    If Lotus were smart they’d be watching this forum and sorting out their dealers, customer service and reliability!

    No side intake grilles?!

    So are the grills and the water lip on a bulletin, if you don’t haven them? Mines going in for a service shortly and would like them fitted if they’re FOC.

    So MK is about a 40 minute drive for me, so my car should make it without breaking down…. I’m away with work at the moment and don’t have my diary, but as per my previous post, these are the dates I can do: The 14th, 15th, 22nd, 29th June. 19th, 20th, 26th &27th July.

    Let me know what you think of it, once it’s fitted. My fingers hovering over the ‘add to basket’ button! I’m interested in just how much of an improvement it is. Are you planning on running ‘map 2’ with Shell VPower or BP Ultimate?

    Won't Start

    As above, fully charge the battery first. If that doesn’t solve it, have you had the HVAC shroud fitted? Have you washed it or have you had heavy rain recently?

    Probably going to pull the pin and order a JB4. I presume I need the connection kit that’s shown separately on the GRP website? Also, I’ve seen posts talking about a separate mounting bracket. Where do I order that from? Thanks.
