T Thanks. The whole process is such a waste of everyone's time & Lotus's money with this issue.

If a customer has blistering on just one door do Lotus replace just the blistered door or both doors at the same time ? Makes sense to replace both doors as it will inevitably occur on the other door at some point.

We sort of know what can be achieved with the V6 albeit with some mods in the GT4 which is not cheap to buy. https://www.lotusnewlondon.com/2025-emira-gt4

Yes I had to pair by pressing the pairing button on the garage controller / motor unit itself rather than use the garage fob. Took a few goes to then jump in the car & pair the mirror button. I actually could only get the last button on the mirror to pair correctly and work. If its paired...

Basically I get a much higher reading from the tracker than when I check with a multimeter across the battery terminals. Maybe the tracker measures it differently.

When mine is on the CTEK and fully charged the tracker shows 14.2v, which is what it is currently showing. I have found a discrepancy between what the Tracker registers (14.2v) and what a multimeter registers (12.6v) at the CTEK/battery terminal plug.

I found warming the old plate with a hairdryer and then using dental floss to cut through the old adhesive pads worked great. The only issue is getting any old pad/adhesive from the plate holder before sticking the new plate on.

Yes I tried following the instructions & pointing the garage opener fob at the rear view homelink button but I could not get it to recognise it. I then used the button on the garage unit (motor unit) to get it to recognise the Emira rear view homelink button and it worked. The button you press...

Homelink works perfectly with my garage door. If you set it up you might need help from someone to press the button on the garage unit & then quickly press the Homelink button in the car to link it.

This thread highlighted a lot of issues, hopefully most of these will have already been addressed on a 1-2 yr old Emira. https://www.emiraforum.com/threads/emira-issues-from-final-production-cars.2190/

They are showing on Aliexpress but they'll need programming https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006858127595.html

Yes I have the tan leather seats which show some baggy / sagging. You can try to gently heat the area with a hairdryer which retightens the leather but after a few trips the leather will stretch again. I think it mostly occurs because the leather is quite soft.

I got a passenger to put pressure all around the rear window whilst driving on a none-smooth road until the creaking stopped to locate where to look. It turned out that where the lip of the headlining met the glass window at the top centre was the issue for me. I was going to pack it with some...

I had rattling/squeaking in the cabin. Turned out to be as posted above the trim around the internal glass window. I gave it a good push all around and it disappeared. While driving you can reach backwards to push the surounding trim to see if it stops and then you know where to fix etc.

Says its sold.

Like it. Where did you get the decal ?

It was a standard software update completed by the Lotus dealer.

I can understand it’s a difficult decision. I agonised over whether to order the manual or V6 auto. I test drove only the manual as the V6 auto was not available at the time. I eventually decided long journeys and for regular use the auto would be more suitable for me as the manual shift novelty...

Thanks. I just looked at mine with a torch and mirror as far as I can see it looks black/dark inside. Mine left production 14th June 23. So perhaps just on the cusp of when new doors were fitted. But there are reports on here of blistering issues after that date anyway.

Is there any way to tell from the outside of the door ?

Theres definately a centre speaker in the dash, if you look from outside through the windscreen you can see the cone.

When you've driven it a while let us know what you think of the V6 auto.

I also have the 2 grommets and the drain hole (build June 23). So surprised you do not have the cut out near the hinge section. I have noticed when it rains or I wash the car on the level water drips from the hinge area of the door with the door closed. No way do I get a flood of water when...

I bought the car new & was not given a charger. :(

I have exactly the same drain hole cut out. Mine was built June 23. When I wash the car water does drip out of the front with the door closed. I wonder if earlier doors have this cut out & whether this identifies the modified doors ?

There is enough space at the side towards the top of the hatch to feed the power cable out without trapping the cable.

Trying to see what version of s/w your on has been discussed a few times on here & the conclusion I believe was it's not possible. The Lotus dealers will be able to tell. For installation, they just get a brief description of the s/w update package which they should apply to your car whilst it's...

My car is currently in for some AC repair work :rolleyes:. I asked the service centre have they any idea as to what vehicles are affected by the paint bubbling or any common denominators like build date etc. But unfortunately, they didn't have any conclusive theories. They have seen cases...

Dental floss can also be good at removing the lettering as its waxed so doesn't damage the paint as much as fishing line.

For info mine is a V6 auto, built June 23 & yes it does have the screwed-in connectors.

I don't have any such hole behind the front wheel.

I had a 1st service & some software updates (V6 auto) completed a couple of days ago and I thought noticing quicker manual shifts after the sw updates were my imagination but now a few others have remarked I'm thinking might be true. As has been said before it would be so useful to have a list...

From page 217 in the manual.

I've found there is enough space at the side of the hatch to feed the power cable out.

Doesnt appear on my driver's seat edge. Although the center of the seat cushion shows some bagginess. Nappa leather is quite soft & I suppose not as tough as normal leather. 2k miles

Mine just turned up today. Excellent quality. Many thanks, Martyn.
