    Why no carbon?

    The side intakes, lower body kit under the doors, rear cutouts (at the back of the car that let you see the tyres) and gloss plastic over the front intakes all beg to be replaced with CF. Lotus could charge a fortune for it and people would buy it. Why no OEM option?

    Unlocked car, switched off, phone connects?

    I tend to leave the car unlocked in my garage, tethered to trickle charge. If I’m in the garage listening to a podcast or talking on the phone, and stand within a few metres of the car, the dash lights up, CarPlay activates and the call is diverted to the car. Doesn’t happen if the car is...

    Damage to PPF

    The original owner had PPF fitted to my car from new. Under the front number plate to the left, edge of the bodywork, right on the crease, I have a small hole in the PPF. I know you can’t patch it. Anyone know the cost to get that piece done? Super irritated but it has protected the bodywork

    Paint issues? Does Your Car Live in a Garage or Outside?

    I’d like to try to better understand why some cars are suffering with paint blistering while others are not. I think some owners have their cars outside a lot. Perhaps overnight. If the car is exposed to changes of temperature and left in the rain, regularly, is is more likely to exhibit paint...

    Adding a subwoofer

    Has anyone added a powered subwoofer to their Emira? Perhaps to the rear shelf? I’ve seen some companies advertising these but £1500 for a sub and some sound deadening is ferocious. What did you fit? Who fitted and is it a palpable improvement?

    Key not present- but it is…

    I’ve almost gotten used to this now but maybe there is an easy fix. Takes several button presses to lock/unlock car. When in the car, I often- not always, get the key not present message. If I lock and unlock the car from inside it starts fine. Is this a common issue or shouldn’t this be happening?

    Another audio question - speaker distortion

    As I spend more time in the car I decided to make use of the audio, rather than listen to a podcast, which is my commuting habit now. Out on my own today, so my playlist and my choice of destination. System copes well enough albeit doesn’t seem as powerful as the specs suggest. The rear speaker...

    High Idle/Traffic crawl speed

    Used the car today. At low speed I can be in first gear, foot off the throttle, and the car will move forward continually, no loss of speed. In second the same. Doesn’t seem to want more revs, certainly shows no sign of stalling. Idle seems a little under 1k rpm. Normal?

    Help me with these warning codes…

    Does anyone know what these codes actually mean? I drove a car at a UK dealer on Saturday which had the engine warning light on throughout the drive. They have asked techs to investigate today and they have cleared the warning light, which was a static yellow light. These were the codes visible...
