    I4 Turbo Trans Update

    I thought all software updates were free whilst in Warranty. After the warranty expires, enhancement updates would cost, "required" updates would remain free Are Lotus changing their minds on this too ala the Paint warranty

    Essex (UK) Breakfast Meeting - Sunday 28th Sep @ 9.30am

    Essex is a long way for me, but I may make it to one, just to say I have done one. Unfortunately wont be this months or Octobers and I am guessing the winter months are less attended, so it may not be until spring 26 for me.

    Has anyone installed Recaro Sportsters?

    What implications do the Tillet seats have with insurance in general? The lose of airbags, must make it a declarable item to the insurance company.

    i4 DIY Oil Change

    Was there not a comment from someone else recently about the inaccuracy of the dashboard oil level indicator? Thought the owner discussed this with a dealer and the dealers comment was to use something else to indicate accurate oil level. Unfortunately I cannot remember what that alternate...

    Has anyone completed 1000 miles break in on an AMG car in the US

    Waze and Car are about 2mph out, with the car giving the higher speed. At slow speeds i.e. less than 40mph, the difference is just 1mph. Not sure which is the correct one, but if I had to guess, its likely Waze

    V6 Auto - “Gearbox malfunction service required”

    Homelink Wont Connect

    I gave up and just keep the Garage door opener fob in the car. Was told that to fix it, I needed to spend about £150 on some additional receiver for the Door electrics.

    What did you do to your Emira today?

    Went for a 200 miles early morning/late morning drive. Early morning, lovely, little traffic, could give it some beans. Late morning, lots of traffic, not so much fun Then got home and spent 2hrs washing it(I hate that part). Tucked away in the garage now, as off across the pond for a long holiday.

    Paint blistering issue update

    I'm amazed Lotus just havent thrown the whole thing to Teijin. "Your screw up, your fix. Until it is fixed the costs are all yours. " I'm sure there are some discussions like that going on, but Lotus would do well to make sure their customers knew what was going on Oh hang on, thats Customer...

    Paint blistering issue update

    Whilst I agree about the 3yr/5yr issue with Lotus. I think that Lotus are trying to get out of it by saying the issue is not the paint, but the doors and that the paint is just a symptom, not the cause The doors will have a 3yr warranty The one thing that may prove impossible for Lotus to...

    More Reports of Emira Hybrid

    Knowing companies in general, Geely are most probably looking at this in a truly financial sense and saying "get rid of the workers now, develop a new car, rehire workers when production needs to ramp up" For the employees, not a great way to be treated, for Geely it makes financial sense and...

    No new SatNav maps (ever?) - UK at least

    Brake caliper bolt torque specs

    Replaced them because they needed to be, or because you had something better? Cannot believe its the former given how little you have had the car

    I'd love to know if the new CarPlay does project it onto the Emira Dash, as that is something I really would see as a benefit of Apple over Android

    No new SatNav maps (ever?) - UK at least
