I've sent you a msg.

Hi, I have EM13RA G currently on retention and am looking to sell it for only £300 ! Let me know if of any interest. Thanks

So I can't remember which YouTube video I was watching but the presenter was saying the only differences between Touring and Sports is 1) Tyres 2). Suspension setup. Therefore, it seems whichever version you go for you could always switch btw Touring and Sports by changing tyres and simple...

The most common issue I am told is the pressure sensor for the A/C unit.. seems a known issue.

Don't understand why Lotus make us do this when other manufacturers of high-performance cars don't require it and won't impact warranty either.

I forgot to take a photo but they looked pretty bad - clearly damaged in a number of spots. You are correct that the mesh should have stopped any stones but i believe there is also vent behind the front wheel. I should have taken more notes but was in a rush and just relieved all fixed and under...

So good news … car all fixed under warranty. A/C fault was a broken pin in the connector - some monkey at the factory must have bent and broken the pin. Coolant leak - now this is potentially more serious issue for everyone on here … my coolant radiators were damaged. Now either these were...

The majority of paint issues were a result of a poor PDI. PDI was done by BCA and apparently I am told they used one of those squeegee type cleaners to dry the car ... which caused alot of the scratches. However, on top of that, the car was machine polished very badly (I presume at factory) ...

So update ... Car has been with B&C for a week now. Seem to have a backlog of Emiras. Everything fixed with exception of A/C where a pressure sensor has failed - Lotus saying they can't get a part till near end of the month! The big potential issue, however, is the coolant leak. According to...

Faulty thermostat?

I am hoping majority of these issues are simple software fix / reboot.

Exactly! Anyone who thinks their car is going to be "perfect" is totally delusional, and anyone who believes their car is "perfect" doesn't know how to inspect a car. I have had other supercars 4x the price and even those were far from perfect. However, often a good detailer can rectify those...

You are correct that dealer PDI are not great either, but now BCI have stopped doing them before transporting to dealers hoping it gets better. BCI were apparently using a squeegee on the car! It took 5 weeks of hard negotiations for Lotus to approve my works. It was a proper fight where I...

1. I am not "bashing" the car. I am just highlighting issues which you should not be expecting when spending £80k. 2. Stand corrected sir on the Blue that it is not flat. But orange peel is certainly more noticeable on blue and yellow cars. I don't know the reason for this but the least...

Sanding mark on bonnet …

I'll bet my house on it that it is not! :)

The paint on all Emira's is pretty awful. Unfortunately, flat colours blue and yellow have the most orange peel. I would STRONGLY advise no Emira owners to have home delivery. The car must be inspected under strong showroom lights or with a detailer light gun. My car had a number of issues ...

Pink coolant all over the garage floor. Been lucky as was driving car with no coolant.

Hi All So, it has been about 20yrs since my last Lotus when I used to run around in an 140bhp Elise. I've owned a lot of cars since then, some exotic, but Elise was one of my most memorable and fun cars (helped by the fact the roads back then had no gatso cameras, 20mph routes, cycle lanes...

+1 Sports Suspension - feedback is great, and Cup2 tyres are without doubt the best tyres on the market, period. Ride is great, better than many of my other supercars. Waiting to take mine to a track day ... will report further then.

Does Manning still provide trackday cover included with policy?

250 miles in .... ECU error Tyre Warning indicator A/C stopped working Brake light failure Condensation in rear lights cluster Coolant hose leak Fast wiper issue Paint issues This feels like a challenging ownership prospect .....
