    Disconnect Battery for Storage?

    Mine sat for a month and started up just fine. When coming back make sure you actually drive the car and don't just start it to see if it'll go, also don't charge the battery by idling. If you want to go the safe way, disconnect and trickle charge where it's safe to do so (please don't do it...

    Intake difference between FE and 2025 V6

    I was wondering about this on the exhaust side. Somehow leaves manage to get stuck behind the rear bumper mesh near the exhaust. I guess it gets pretty hot in there after a while. Not fun to clean if you have to remove the under-tray to reach them.

    Lotus Emira V6 ECU Tune - Bench Flash

    It is however dynamic on cold start (reduced redline), and limb mode so there is a chance I'd say.

    Door Handle Failure

    My drivers side went after 36.000km. I've warranty till Dec., but won't be driving after October, so the passenger side gonna be paid by me. Bonkers there is no active recall for a known factory defect, but I guess money is tight

    Lotus Emira V6 ECU Tune - Bench Flash

    I guess a new ECU would have to be initialized to the car by the dealer first, or can you handle that too?

    New Source for Tactile Steering Wheel Buttons - ships to U.S.

    These don't look new and I wouldn't expect any new ones from that source. They seem to be sourced from decommissioned Lynk&Co cars

    Highest mileage Emira’s?

    Check again with iOS 26, to be released on the 15th. At least for me the combination of latest car updates + iOS 26 Beta solved the connection problems

    OEM Lotus Emira Red Brake Caliper Set – Excellent Condition, Low Mileage

    While I agree on the overall paint job, my calipers (yellow) are actually fine after 5 track days and 36.000km. Got a 11/2022 build. What color were yours?

    Rotating or swapping Cup 2s left to right all arond

    As far as I know they are asymmetrical not directional. So you can switch them, but you have to flip the tyre on the rim instead of just swapping the wheels. Meaning inside stays inside, outside stays outside. I guess you could do this if you run a lot on a track in the same direction...

    Urgent Help Needed: 2024 Lotus Emira A/C Issues (Air Distribution & No Cooling) - Grey Import

    Both problems are originating from the same problem source: The HVAC box in the front of the car. Water ingress will destroy at least the resistor in there and cause all of your problems. There is a new water shield you probably don't have fitted and a new improved HVAC box. I don't think you...

    Intermittent delay when pressing start button to car actually starting

    I’m pretty sure there’s nothing wrong. As far as I remember, the start failures were caused by communication problems between control units, possibly related to communication order. From my software dev perspective, the startup delay could simply be extra time to ensure everything is ready...

    Winter Tire Suggestions

    The Alpin PA4s are definitely a solid choice. I ran them and they did great. Available in stock sizes too.

    August Software Updates (i4)

    In one case the changes are related to "memory seats and auto angling mirrors not fitted" - no such configuration exists yet, probably aimed at Base Editions EmiraDS is a software that dealers use to do all kind of software related work. However it's a new software under development, that's...

    Leaky windows

    Lotus sure knows they suck at this. Light water ingress and wind noise is explicitly excluded from warranty in the warranty guide 😂

    Steering clunk when manoeuvring

    Are we talking the same clunk? Like you roll slowly and turn full lock with maybe a little to much eager -> clunk when you hit the max angle?

    JUBU and other topics, a combo thread

    Really don’t tho 😂 Im in my last half year of warranty and glad I waited it out, still got things to fix again.

    Steering clunk when manoeuvring

    I have the clunk since day one and just accepted it. 35k km later nothing broke so I guess it’s fine the way it is.

    Road trip in area without Cell coverage?

    If you have an iPhone 14 or newer you already have emergency satellite access. For Maps at least Google Maps allows you to download parts for offline availability

    Service Manual

    VISC as well as the aftersales portal have been decommissioned, no access there anymore. It's all migrated to TIS and LCMS, but I don't see a way to get access there as an "independent"

    Front Left Parking Sensor

    Yes, exactly. They will first check if it's actually the alignment issue and if so remove and realign it.

    Ok, I'm saying it - the infotainment system sucks (but who cares)

    I don't know who changed what, either there was something in one of the latest updates or Apple did some tweaking in the latest iOS beta, but my phone seems to connect reliably (wireless) now by itself. I still takes longer than it should, but now it's alive usually 40-60s after starting. Or...

    Is leasing an Emira a good idea?

    I've leased (residual) for 3 years in January 2023 and am at the point where I get to decide what to do now. My calculated residual (10.000km/year) is 61.000€. The actual value of the car (33.000km) was set at 85.000€ by my dealer. As per contract, the dealer pockets 25% of the difference...

    Full body wrapping cost

    Valid isn't it? I'm sure the curves on the Emira need a lot more skill compared to wrapping a rectangle named G-Wagon

    Finally…..I give up!

    Uhh there’s a counterparties name on the invoice. Thats the one who is liable. How they handle it behind the scenes is not your problem.

    Burning Smell From Engine While Reversing on Ramp

    well easiest guess would be the clutch by extensive slipping given you took a few tries and probably not going up the ramp at 12-14km/h
