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

    There's more of a crossover with Lynk & Co software but there was a video years ago that featured a test rig at Hethel with all of the Emira screens and buttons installed in a flight case and UK-based engineers describing it - I can't find it now but there was probably some UK-based involvement...

    UK Owners - We are offering you an extended warranty - Questions?

    I still have 10 months left on my new car warranty but my Dealer/Service agent has just advised that "plans to launch an extended warranty program have been put on hold" by Lotus...... Not only is their eye off the ball it now appears to have been kicked into touch (at least) for a while....

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

    Just been advised (following my 2-year service) by my (somewhat embarrassed-sounding) UK dealer/service agent that "Lotus have advised that there is no update available or planned for the SatNav"! I know most of us will be using our favourite navigation app via Apple Carplay/Android Auto...

    Puddle lights in door

    Are they LED? If so they probably only work when connected with the correct polarity - haven’t had my Emira ones out but have seen this in other cars…… Assuming the connectors are the same try swapping them round!

    UK Customer care phine number and live chat not working

    Try the old Wymondham number 01953 608000 - no guarantees but that may bypass the 03 customer service centre number and get you to a human on a switchboard at least....

    Auto100 - UK Trader in Sutton in Ashfield

    I believe that ALL UK Emiras were registered in Norwich (AO, AP, AR, AS, AT, AU) while the ill-fated factory-direct sales "experiment" ran - until some point in 2024 when they reverted to the dealer sales model and local registrations took place again.... Cars were delivered pre-registered for...

    They Say There's no Such Thing as a Stupid Question - Licence Plates

    Replacement adhesive pads are available but expensive from the plate supplier but are readily available in bigger packs on Amazon which are much better value. Personally I wouldn't use Velcro on an Emira as there's no benefit in easy removal unless you're a light-fingered passer by.....

    They Say There's no Such Thing as a Stupid Question - Licence Plates

    A bit of warmth (if needed) and a combination of a plastic trim removal tool and/or a bit of dental floss or fishing line if needed to cut through the adhesive pads should do the trick.... If you get a short number (mine's 5 digits) and use a shorter front plate you may also need to cut the...

    Console delete button ?

    It's not in the full manual (shown as a blank there too) or used in UK Emiras either - I would guess that the overhead console panel is a Geely "parts bin" item and that this is used in other vehicles - maybe Link & Co?

    The rear fog light in the UK is just the tiny white reversing light with some red LED's enabled and connected to the fog light switch - chances are it's already there in cars built for other markets and just needs enabling somehow.....

    Scorpion Tracker

    Except that it's not that great in practice - I've gone back to the fob as there were too many false "stolen" alerts. 1) You need to have the app running in the foreground before starting the car and 2) the latest version of the iOS app (at least - Android may be better) says that there's a...

    V6 auto or i4 DCT

    I have a V6 Auto (cancelled my i4 order and bought an ex-demo from a dealer when the delays and price rises were happening and after Scott Walker arranged a drive in a press I4 at Hethel) and would advocate for that too - the Auto (previously known as IPS in the Evora and Exige V6) has been...
