Do we need the other 25 days? Thats going to be a hard one to beat

I have had the same issue a couple of times. I found pushing the boot lid closed solved the problem, so give that a try. Its just of the many "Features" you get to experience with Lotus ownership Embrace it, or it will drive you nuts

I assume your Emira is no longer "on Order" :) Sorry, but cant help on the coolant to use, but would suggest finding out if they checked the level during the service and if they did, what has caused it to drop that much in a month

Good and nearly bad day today. Went for a 150 mile drive today, just for the hell of it. Early'ish morning start to avoid the traffic, had a lovely drive along part of the south UK coast. Nearly bad, as I was coming to end of the outbound leg of the drive, nearly had a head on with some idiot in...

I thought the paint warranty was 5yrs for most cars up to now, with Lotus recently reducing it to 3yrs for only recent/future cars They cannot legally reduce the warranty of cars that were sold with the 5yr warranty, before anyone asks

Problem with those statistics is, whilst there may have been 1000s sold and only 59 reported here, the total cars on here are in the hundreds, so in reality, its a report saying that there are 59 occurrences in 100s, not thousands. That makes the issue 10 times larger already and thats assuming...

Its also damn annoying when trying to clean the car too

Power washer, kind of I use a snow foam lance attached to a power washer, so not really pushing out true high pressure, and then rinsing it off on the lowest setting the power washer has, which is slightly more than a normal hose, but again, not exactly high pressure either No issues SO FAR...

Are you really willing to void your warranty for this? I find it strange so many people are.. I would like more power, but that will happen after the warranty runs out.

I forgot to add, make the hotter version a convertible as well please and I'll forgo the Roof scoop.

I'll take the 475bhp version please, with the rood scoop

Even if you arent mechanically minded, an Oil change is very basic piece of work, any independent can do and will charge a lot less for In the UK we are lucky to have numerous Independents, that specialise in Lotus Cars, these can save 100s per visit in comparison to a main dealer. Surely...

Good colour choice :) Hopefully more us will start to appear as US cars get delivered

You may find this is an Android Auto issue, not an Emira one. Reading a number of news articles about AA, the issue is quite widespread with numerous people complaining about the issue. Google are allegedly working on a fix, but they have been saying that for some time and the last release was...

Will do, thanks

Got to be an I4. The V6 I drove was lucky to return low 20s just driving on the motorway at 60mph

I'm in Hawaii in October, I might pop over and have a look at a US Emira :) Didnt even realise a dealership would be there, thought it would be too small a market

I have confused Verdant Green, with the Meridian Blue numerous times on here. Side by side, its easy to tell, but isolated photos under various light conditions, not so much

From experience, once a battery dies, its never as good as it should be, ever again Even if you can get this one working, I would suggest replacing it soon after, so maybe just better to get a new one now and avoid the hassle of getting the old one working Obvious suggestion, get a trickle...

I think it might have been due to the Q4 financial statement and the comments within. They wanted rid of the cars on THEIR Books, so got rid of them at a cheap price to a non-Franchised dealership, so they no longer had anything to do with Lotus. Legallly, they had sold them.

Let me know which one you use and how easy it is to install(I'm guessing easy)

Which pressure reading is the one to go by? Inflated the tyres using a cordless compressor this morning 2.0/2.2. TPMS then says 1.88 & 1.92/2.00 & 2.02 Do I need to bother with a separate pressure gauge? (Which one are you using) What is the range that TPMS will accept as "within bounds"?

I was going to ask similar: Where did you put them?

You sound similar to another to another member on here(Orchardbike), who bought a car from Auto100. Theres a thread about that somewhere on here. Hopefully you are not another Auto100 customer. https://www.emiraforum.com/threads/auto100-uk-trader-in-sutton-in-ashfield.5628/

Thats cheating, how does anyone compete with Mt Fuji :)

The Scorpion Tracker voltage seems to vary with no Rhyme or reason to it. It was showing 12.4v when I left the house, went for a 50-60mile drive, got back and it was showing 12.2v. The next morning showing 12.6v. I'm not sure you can really trust the accuracy of it at all

Just a reminder, US & UK Gallons are not the same. 20mpg in the US, would be the equivalent of 25mpg in the UK.

The thing I dislike about those and many driving shoes, is the blatant branding all over them. If they want me to advertise, then pay me. I have been waiting for these to go in the sale, as they look a good alternative, without the massive branding all over them...

Did Lotus Escalations, not also help with the delays at Lotus Colchester? Appreciate all the issues you had with Auto100, but your current problems see to be the delays with getting Colchester to do anything

Looking at the photo, the only difference I can see is that the bumper looks darker and that can easily be explained away by the lighting. If the dealer has seen the car, then what was their reaction? If they agree its different, then in reality, they have agreed its wrong and therefore the...

The UK is significantly different to the US in terms of market and value Manual cars are a dying breed, the young in the UK are learning to drive less and those that do, are learning on automatics. Electric cars are being pushed massively here and as a result it wont be long before new...

Oh hell !!! I was promising myself to leave mine as stock until the warranty had expire(Previous issues with Lotus on an Elise), but this is making me seriously reconsider. That looks stunning Hope this isnt too intrusive, but would you mind letting me know how much? (PMif you'd prefer not to...

Today I have a similar issue, although with the standard battery. Was on trickle charge for the last 3 days, used it yesterday and this morning the Scorpion Tracker app says its at 12.4v. Concerned I might have a duff battery :(

As stated by others, in the UK Keyless entry is a real security issue, JLR vehicles are notoriously hard to get insurance on and even when you can, it is cripplingly high. Whilst the main method of theft is the old laptop intercept, the other is the smash and grab option i.e. they cave your...

Its amazing how bad Dealers can be, yet manufacturers seem to care little. My previous experience of Bournemouth Hendy was pretty poor, but since they have moved to Southampton, they have been pretty good. What other Dealers are nearby to you? Silverstone might be an option, straight up the M1

4 weeks to do nothing !!! Thats inexcusable

Have they said what is causing the delays?

God no, not keyless entry

I assume by you positive comments, that the GV60 does not reset the setting back to them "assisting" every time you turn the ignition off? I have a KIA with limited assists and that resets everything back when ignition is turned off and assumed all the KIA/Hyundai/Genesis cars did the same

Ran some errand, went looking for a new car for the wife, parked in numerous dealership forecourts, had just about every Salesman/woman come out and have a look at it(even got some nice comments). Other buyers at the dealerships were less forward, but a few commented "Nice McLaren" :) Cross...
