    Aftermarket Keyless Entry on Emira?

    In the UK, Keyless entry is one of the primary methods Car thieves have been getting hold of high end cars. Approaching a house late at night/early morning and having a receiver/transmitter they can get close enough to the key that people leave near the front of the house and then getting the...

    Has anyone heard the Base audio system?

    Not sure what people are using as their source, I assume a phone. If the volume seem low, are you cranking the output from the phone up? May seem obvious, but if the output from the phone is low, no matter what you do on the Console will make it loud. Might also be worth checking if you have...

    To tint or not to tint? 😎

    In the UK, Tinting the driver/passenger window is a bit of a minefield. The law here says it cannot be darker than(I think) 10% anything darker and its illegal and cars to get pulled over. In really serious cases I have heard of cars being impounded on the spot.

    911T vs Emira

    Unfortunately, I have met numerous Porsche owners that know how to drive and better than me(I'm no driving god). What I dislike about Porsche is (1) There are so many of them, that they just dont seem/feel special (2) The general public have low opinion of them(I get let out of junctions...

    Starting problems and Check Engine light

    The "just wont start" issue is/was a known one, that Lotus had provided a Software update for. If you are unsure if your car has all the updates, contact a dealer and they should be able to tell you

    UK Customer care phine number and live chat not working

    Hell mate, I thought we would try and arrange a get together once you got your car back, before my holiday, not after it. Hope it is handed back when they say, but given your previous updates, I'd take their latest update with a pinch of salt

    What did you do to your Emira today?

    What do you use to clean them? I have so far just used a neat citrus wash, which does OK, but wondered if there is something better. I'm lazy, so anything that can be sprayed on and sprayed off is a plus :)

    Lotus Emira V8 in Testing & Other News

    Would you really be OK with paying upwards £120K for a Lotus? Given the usual issues with both quality of finish and customer service, I could never justify that expense on a Lotus

    Lotus Emira V8 in Testing & Other News

    I4 (AMG-2.0 Turbo) DCT gearbox software update from LOTUS - mid August 2024

    That sounds like the old software. When was the last time you took the car in for some work at a dealership? They should have applied all the available updates at that time. If your last visit was post September 2024, I would call the dealership and have them check. They WILL have a log of what...

    Anyone fitted a Ghost or Pandora immobiliser?

    Have no idea about immobilisers, although I have heard of ones that allow you to remotely immobilise, so the car is easier to find in a location of your choice, rather than the thieves. Do you know how they got around the Location services? A bit concerned about that one, as if it is easy to do...

    Geely to sell all share back to Lotus!

    Overall its going to be bad. Short term they will struggle with cash flow due to the restrictions in exporting to the US, long term they will struggle as their production is now all in China, except for the Emira.

    Who here has tracked their Emira?

    Being totally unaware of all of this, a follow up Q What does Track do to ESC, that is therefore different to Sport mode? Its obviously still active in Track, or there would not be an additional button to turn it off completely.

    Insurance quote: 4.8x the price of my 2007 Exige S

    I'm always amazed at how much you pay in the US for insurance. Not just car, but all types, but Car Insurance seems to be the worst.
