Anyone got Matt Windle’s email address? We could e-bomb him! I’ve tried twitter/X by adding @mattwindle but he doesn’t appear to have an account. I’ve tried linking him in on YouTube and Facebook, but I don’t think either of those work and of course sending him a letter doesn’t work either...

Can’t disagree with any of those points (although I can’t comment on your driving ability, obviously!)

It was the AA that picked mine up, but I ‘ordered’ it through Lotus CC….which is a concern going forward.

Good luck. Let me know how you get on. Mine’s been at the dealer for over 4 months now!

Is that Magma or vivid? If it’s Magma, then it’s externally identical to mine (upper/lower black pack, silver wheels and yellow callipers)

Well I haven’t even got one car yet, but when I do, I’ll need one set I.e. for two keys/one car.

Sorry to hear of another owner with issues. Maybe we should get a group together and go on a hunger strike outside the offices in Hethel. I’d say blockade the entrance, but we don’t have any cars to block it with!

I don’t want to be the bearer of bad news, but I’d be amazed if you get it back in 7 days. What issue(s) were you having?

Hi Beachbum, as per our previous conversation I’m interested in 2.

Between posts, Colchester have now come back to me, but it’s going to be the second week in May at the earliest that I’ll be able to collect the car.

I’ve been completely without it. It disappeared on the 18th December last year. Lotus CC did arrange for a courtesy car though.

No. Can’t get an answer out of of Lotus CC or Lotus Colchester at the moment. Over 4 months without my car and counting…….

And a problem with their email system for three weeks?

I agree, but it’s Lotus CC that normally arranges a courtesy car

From December last year I spoke to them numerous times and they responded to emails. This continued until a month ago and then radio silence. Something changed around the start of April. I thought they’d blocked me, but it seems like other people have experienced the same.

In the last month, I’ve sent 5 emails to Lotus Customer and had no reply. I sent 5 emails to Lotus Escalations and had no reply. I rang Lotus Customer care 4 times and hung on for over 30 minutes each time and eventually it goes to an answerphone. I’ve also sent 2 registered letters sent to Matt...

I’ve been trying to get an update for 3 weeks. No answer to emails and no answer from the phone line.

I had an F-type for 2 1/2 years with one issue with the steering rack. I had a 5 series BMW for 55k miles with no issues. I had a Jag F-Pace for 40K miles, no issues. I had a C class Mercedes for 60k miles, no issues and a E class Mercedes for 55k miles, no issues. I accept that all brands and...

My personal opinion, after all the issues I’ve had (and the ones I had with my Evora to a lesser extent), I’d still buy an Emira. Don’t get me wrong, my experience (and maybe even more so with the performance of Lotus customer care) has tainted me against Lotus, to my car and destroyed the...

My Evora 400, which I had for 12 months, had the following faults: Faulty brake switch Leaking intercooler radiator Leaking radiator (not sure if this was the engine or HVAC) Failed air conditioning compressor Seat trim (drivers and passenger) unclipping (needed a coach trimmer to clip and...

430 when it went in….

They have been….…for four months now….I still don’t know when I’ll be getting it back

Well, my issues were: Paint bubbling on both doors. Water ingress destroying front loom Water ingress destroying front fuse box Paint flaw on bonnet Damaged interior tailgate liner Faulty battery Intermittent failure to start Failed driver side door mirror motor Failed clutch bearing Failed...

I was told lots of things by Auto100……non of which turned out to be true.

That’s interesting about Auto100. I have absolutely slated them with Lotus CC, Lotus Escalations and direct to Matt Windle. Don’t know whether that had an effect. Having said that, I’d be equally as nervous buying from JCT as they’ll be the same cars with lots of potential problems. Maybe JCT...

Hear, hear on the terrible customer service.

Exactly my problem (amongst others) and exactly the same experience of Lotus customer ‘care’

Yep blistered. Nowhere near as bad as mine was, but it’ll almost certainly get worse. Book it in as soon as you can as the doors are on back order

Jaguar/Land Rover are halting all car shipments to the US (source BBC News)

I think, unless the “other EU Manufacturers” already have a facility with capacity in the UK, they will just sit tight and try and ride out the next 4 years. It’ll take that long at least to build/open up a new car manufacturing factory.

No, it’s the Lotus badge for me on the fender, not the donkey badge.

Now that I really like!I think it’d go with my Magma red…..

In the brief time I had mine, it was far quieter for rattles and squeaks compared to my Evora

I actually think it looks better with them, especially in yellow on DV, but I’d prefer them to be less Ferrari shaped and maybe just a Lotus badge.

Clearly your 10 minutes on google found something the millions of trained scientists missed……

How was social distancing “useless”? If you stayed away from people. How would you catch the disease? Masks also worked, that’s why there was such a scramble to obtain them for nursing staff first. It’s not like it some ‘out there’ theory, masks stop germs, period. I’m normally against admin...

The frunk on the first one is bent like it’s made of metal, not composite

Do we have to put up with this bollox on here?

Sorry, but referencing books written 2000 years ago, at a time when human development was in its infancy and knowledge about the universe was pretty much non existent or simply wrong, to prove a point about today’s world economics does not support your argument the way you think it does. I’m out!
