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

    We've been using TomTom's devices that you stick to the screen for ages in our old cars that don't have Android Auto etc. We use one device and put it in the car we are using. What's more my wife can use it. I like the way they present the maps and traffic information. Lane guidance at junctions...

    What did you do to your Emira today?

    What sizes did you get? I noticed in the manual that they go down a little bit in width.

    What did you do to your Emira today?

    Changed the key fob battery after 15 months of use. I got a low battery warning pop up on the dash.

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

    I used it once when I first got the car but was disappointed with it after years of a Tom Tom device. I bought the Tom Tom app and use that via Android Auto. Sometimes use Google Maps just to see how that's doing. But yes, why have it built in if they are not going to update it.

    Rock Collector Body Location Likely Leading to Surface Wear/Rust?

    This is the UK Amazon site: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0BSKYGR7R This is on the US Amazon site, different supplier but looks the same: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CJBZDHNH?th=1 Also, this is what Crestima used looking at his photo of the Amazon site, the tang part looks like it is shorter...

    Tyre Aficionados

    It's worth remembering that the Goodyear tyres were specifically designed for the Emira, that's why they have the LTS on the sidewall. Here's an extract from an interview with Gavin Kershaw in Absolute Lotus magazine where he talks about developing the vehicle dynamics: And the link to...

    What did you do to your Emira today?

    I know how it feels, although not as bad as you. I moved over slightly on a back road bend when a car coming in the opposite direction was closer to the centre line than I liked. My rear wheel and tyre clipped the only kerb for miles. New tyre needed but it didn't deflate and I actually didn't...

    Scorpion renewal

    I renewed last June and went for the Lifetime Subscription at £585. I'm planning on keeping this car so it made sense to me. I have a couple of alerts set at the moment which I like. Battery Low Alert (I haven't seen this yet). Ignition On Alert. I get an email and App notification every time...

    Rock Collector Body Location Likely Leading to Surface Wear/Rust?

    My initial "fix" (see above) hasn't worked as rocks were still being collected and one side had the foam strip coming partially away and collecting rocks on its sticky side as well. I've gone for @crestima 's solution with a sealing trim that pushes into the gap. Let's see how this does. UK...

    Suspension: Touring and Sports options

    Just a follow up on this where a previous post was talking about the change of spring rate of the touring front from 55N/mm to 60N/mm and when it might of happened. Looking at this Harry's Garage YouTube of his factory tour when his car was being built 16th October 2022 you can see a box marked...

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

    Here's a photo of the rubber shield fitted to my car. You have to remove the normal plastic cover that goes here to see it. EDIT: It's worth noting that this is a photo of a RHD car. Looking at a post of a LHD car the placement is on the other side...

    Paint blistering issue update

    My tailgate was replaced early on. It's Hethel Yellow so I feel one of the easier colours to match as such. Tailgates are supplied already painted so that was a concern but actually the surfaces at the joint lines to the tailgate are not really as continuous like for the doors so if there is a...

    3rd round of Redundancies at Lotus 😞

    The V6 SE and the V6 SE Racing Line are still there on the UK configurator - you just have to click and drag the page to the left to reveal them. It's not entirely obvious but the 5 dots below the row of models information shows there are 5 Emiras in the range.

    Clunking sound from the front of car at idle

    Does it change if you turn the steering wheel, i.e. is it power steering related? After that I would lift the front cover and see if the radiator fan is the source of the sound.

    Emira Production Numbers for First Edition in Helthel Yellow ?

    Emira Production Numbers for First Edition in Helthel Yellow ?

    About the only way to find this out, I think, is to get the Certificate of Provenance from Lotus where it usually states such statistics. Before I get mine I'm waiting until they have absolutely stopped making UK V6 First editions. I think the only way I'll know this is if they actually start...

    This is not the car I ordered!

    P is Model Year 2023. The sequence goes like this with i, o and q omitted: Model Year G = 2016 H = 2017 J = 2018 K = 2019 L = 2020 M = 2021 N = 2022 P = 2023 R = 2024 S = 2025 Model year is not necessarily the same as the manufactured year. My car is an R Model Year 2024 but was built at the...

    Battery Cover Washer and Nut Size

    M6 Domed. A132W3020F. There's not many places for a loose nut and washer to go in the boot. Are you sure they put them back on when it was serviced?

    Time to buy

    "only 3k miles and two owners" First owner could have been the dealer pre-registering the car. Second owner only doing 3,000 miles is the mystery, they must have other cars, Emiras are for driving!

    What is this sticker?

    That would have been off 10 seconds after I got home. There again, I don't think I would have left the dealer with that in the screen.

    Drivers Display Issue

    Similar. From new my driver display did not display the Navigation, Media, Phone and the Lap Timer (Performance) didn't work. The Tyre Pressure (Vehicle Health) and Trip Computer displayed and worked fine. I wasn't bothered at the time as I just wanted to drive the car and figured it was going...
