I was torn between Tour and Sport suspension, and in the end I ordered Tour. I've been very happy with my suspension, and happy that I made the correct decision. (10K miles down..) Then I came across a post that says you can identify the suspension from what is printed on the springs, so out of...

There has been some discussion about the Emira needing to sit on a battery maintainer/charger otherwise going flat quite quickly. Well after a work trip, and then a holiday I went to use my Emira this week after it has been sat for a month. I was half expecting it to not start and was ready to...

Nearly everyone on here has a First Edition (have Second Editions even shipped?). So we essentially have all the options as standard. If you were buying now, and configuring with the online builder and knowing the price of options. What would you drop off to save money? I think I would dump...

Just found someone offering a software tune for Super Unleaded (98RON EUR / 94 octane US). But it looks like you have to remove the ECU and post it to them (I guess ECU software updating from the OBDII port hasn't been hacked yet)...

I'm just wondering if there are any new members who have actually ordered an Emira recently at the new prices? It only takes a few option ticks to push the V6 over £100K and the special editions (which are just cosmetic?) are £115K+. My first Edition would be £108K at the new prices.. Then with...

A few minor issues I just want to confirm whether they are normal or not.. (V6 manual) 1) The rear view mirror vibrates and jiggles. Even noticeable on relatively smooth roads. 2) The washer jets are comparatively weak compared to other cars. They work, but don't exactly blast the windscreen...

This little teaser has been released on the CarWOW FB page. I'm surprised it hasn't been represented in a race before now. We know it's not a car built for straight line performance. I hope it's not embarrassed by the competition. At least it looks like the full fat 400bhp I4 version (fastest...

Agree, disagree?

I noticed I can connect my car to my WiFi. What does this let me do? I can't seem to do any software updates this way.

The side plastic trim of the seat base (where the controls are mounted) keeps popping off and needs clicked back in. It seems the the clip that holds it on has weakened. It might be my fat ass, or just going around a fast corner that pushes my weight against the side bolster (which pushes...

I notice there aren't any grilles on the side intakes. The engine intake seems quite large and open. Anyone concerned that leaves and debris will get sucked in over time? On my Porsche 718 there was a recall to add grilles to the side intakes to stop this (the particular reason came from a...

First of all.. has anyone actually replaced the factory fit tyres? And if so what mileage did you get? Those that have, or when you do, will you stick with the custom bespoke 'LTS' tyres, or will you swap to something else? On other car forums there has always been huge debate about sticking...

I want to clean the black exhausts, but I don't want to accidentally damage the black finish and ruin them? Can anyone recommend a product that will clean them but not damage the coating? (Is it a coating?)

There's tyre pressure to 2 decimal places, but for love nor money can't find an oil temperature gauge! To be cautious I'm waiting about 10 minutes after the water gets to temperature before working the engine hard. Seems about right for oil temperature?

Just had my Emira paint corrected and ceramic coated, and I want to maintain the swirl free paint finish. I'm told drying is probably the biggest cause of swirl marks/light scratching, and one solution is to 'not dry it' but instead use filtered water for the final rinse that will evaporate...

Are these (highlighted with green) on the A/C controls supposed to illuminate when on? Mine don't. I'm assuming it's just another thing broken on the car. Doesn't cause any major issue except I have to cycle the A/C to check if it's ON or OFF.

The centre panel on the hood/Bonnet is waaaaay off centre. One side sits flush, and the other has a 1/2 inch gap. I'm assuming there should be 1/4 inch gap on each side. How this got past QC I have no idea. Hopefully it's a panel that can be adjusted easily.

I'm considering the popular mod of removing the 3rd Cat. Does it significantly increase the cabin noise? One comment concerned me in saying that the increased noise drowns out the Super Charger noise -which I actually enjoy hearing. Also does the old cat pipe fit in the boot to take some when...

Not sure if this is new news, but it came up this morning that small UK manufacturing brands will be excluded from the 2030 petrol ban. So Lotus, Caterham etc will be able to continue making cars... Great news

Yep it's been staring me in the face this whole time. A hardware manual volume control! Who knew?! Saves me messing on with the irritating steering wheel controls (why did they have to be touch sensitive AND buttons at the same time?!) Just need a hardware Skip to next track button now.

After complaining about a very forward/centre soundstage I've just read there are rear speakers?! I can hear the sub coming from behind, but get nothing from other speakers. Usually the infotainment has a front/rear balance setting. But I can't find such a setting. Does everyone else get...

I'm noticing the sound on my KEF system seems to be dominant to the front centre speaker on the dash at lower volumes. At anything upto 50% volume or so the door speakers are hardly 'on' compared to the front dash speaker. Once you turn up the volume fairly high the door speakers seem to kick...

On my rear wheel arch liners there are fasteners that don't connect to anything. It's the same on both sides. I'll try and link a video below. If I lift them up, there's nothing underneath that they would seemingly attach to. I either have a part not fitted at the factory and missing. Or some...

Anyone seen this before? It's the top edge of the rear quarter panel behind the door.

I also have a Porsche 718S, which I now find boring to drive Vs the Emira (but it's also never broken in 7 years unlike the Emira). When I get back in it after having driven the Emira a lot, it feels fast in comparison. It's only 350bhp Vs the 400bhp Emira, but without a doubt pulls harder when...

Not a fault (I don't think?!), but has anyone noticed when you reach the limit of the steering rack (full lock turn for parking etc) it's a sudden clonk, rather than a soft damped stop?

Maybe only applies to right hand drive cars. Behind my head to the right (and more pronounced if I push my head further back), I can hear what sounds like wind noise/air rushing/fan sound. At first I thought it was wind noise from the vehicle, but it doesn't increase with vehicle speed. It...

The (in my opinion) poor KEF system is now a £1000 option!

I have a RHD (if it matters) and notice a slight pull to the right with medium to high acceleration. It's quite minor and I didn't realise at first, but subconsciously I think I've been adding a touch of left wheel steer to counteract with some heavy right foot. When coming off the accelerator...

I know Alcantara can look grubby/shiny and worn fairly quickly compared to leather. I've just bought a full Alcantara car (seats and steering wheel). Any tips for care an keeping it nice?
