    'Cheap' audio Upgrade help!

    I don't listen to the audio system all the time as I prefer the sound of the V6. However, knowing that there are NO TWEETERs in the A-pillars has anyone found a way of installing some where they should be? I understand the door speakers are a mid/high 3" driver. Surely there must be a 3" driver...

    ✅ Solved Key fob battery replacement

    I've had my Emira just over a year, I don't daily drive it but yesterday I noticed I had to really press the fob to unlock and lock the car and today it seemed to have died! 2nd key works fine so battery must be dead already!

    Interesting post on other forum regarding borrowed parts

    All I can see is the screen and maybe the HVAC controls but I have no issues with them as they're decent quality

    Alcantara Steering Wheel top marker

    Hmm, I'm not that bothered but I have thought about masking it up and brushing some yellow (or red in your case) acrylic paint on it. I don't have the b@lls to do it though

    Creaking noise

    Hmm, I might have come across this tonight in mine! Went to a car meet ironically organised by my dealer and when I was manoeuvering out at low speed the steering was creeking - seemed fine on the drive home but was happening again when putting it away in the garage. I actually feel a bit sick...

    Nitron Suspension Development

    I missed this at Goodwood - I wonder if over time, once shocks and springs have worn in, the standard set up may sit a little lower? Saying that I'd like to se it sat 15-20mm lower I guess. I was speaking to the guy at C & M and he said Lotus don't recommend going more than 15mm lower! The worry...

    Wonky centre screen

    So I've had my car since 21st April. I love it, however, a few thing have now raised their ugly heads. I didn't pay much attention to it as It didn't really bother me, but since checking out a few other Emiras at Goodwood last weekend I now realise my centre screen is definitely wonky! OK, I...

    Rain leaking into engine bay where boot meets roof!

    Been looking at the alignment of the boot. The actual tail is spot on but I noticed today that the top left corner of the glass sits lower than the top right - I'm sure the rain was predominantly coming in from the left hand side. I;m sure it can be adjusted - just hope it doesn't mess the rest...

    Rain leaking into engine bay where boot meets roof!

    While I was stopped in traffic on the way to Goodwood FoS last Thursday it started raining. This was the first time my car had been out in the rain since picking it up on 21st April. I noticed in my rear view mirror water coming in and splashing and dripping down the window in the bulkhead...

    Car shows "limp mode" or "reduced acceleration" warnings (possible ECU issue)

    I've had the 'Engine Accleration Restricted' warning 4 times now. I picked my car up on 21st April. I acknowledge the message but engine goes into limp mode and won't let me go over 4k revs. Once I turn the car off, turn it on again I presume it goes through its POST, says everything is ok and...

    BCA no longer doing PDI in Uk

    I opted for dealer collection as I knew they were doing the PDI as opposed to BCA.

    First Emira with an aftermarket wing?

    Hmm, I think with the Emira you've either got to go all out or very subtle. This looks too 'race car' IMO

    Fitting a battery conditioner... Do's and Don'ts

    I've fitted my Ctek connector to my battery but just wondered how they route any extension cable to their trickle charger when the boot is closed and the car is locked? Do you just shut the boot down on top of the cable?

    Just joined, Brilliant car had since 28/4/2023, done 1350 miles some issue perhaps you can help.

    DAB radio - when I eventually got round to wanting to try out the DAB I couldn't find any stations - plenty of FM but no DAB. I thought I had a problem but I think you need to go into the 'radio' then select 'browse'. While in that screen, swipe your finger DOWN the screen. It should then...

    📓 Journals 1300 miles ownership experience

    I echo pretty much everything you've said. I got my car on 21st April and I love it. I really have had no issues at all other than a couple of small paint chips on two of my yellow calipers but that can't really be blamed on the car or Lotus (and nothing a little touch up couldn't rectify). I...

    Fitting a battery conditioner... Do's and Don'ts

    EXACTLY the photo I need! Thanks

    I do have a concern.

    Have faith - Gavan Kershaw and the team that do ride and handling at Lotus know what they're doing. I can guarantee that it will be one of the best riding and handling cars you can buy.

    Was there a PPF option on the configurator?

    What have I done?

    I've always wanted a Lambo or a Ferrari but as the models I want (manual Gallardo or manual 360/430) are rare and not getting any cheaper my attention turned to the Emira after I saw it at Good FOS. I've put a deposit down and I'm now wondering about how to fund it. Obviously I want to see it in...
