Right then, I'll be the one that admits to not having a clue about the interest in 18" wheels Whats the benefit of them? I assume there must be one

Whatever the auto-box decides on :)

I just dont get the fascination with Porsche. Design wise they strike me as quite dull, even boring. OK so some do drive nicely, their performance is good, but car ownership is about more than the physical and for me Porsche lacks that something else, that Lotus and especially the Emira has in...

Any other suggestions? I seem to remember people stating whether their readers worked or didnt with the Emira. It seemed quite few didnt.

I must admit, that over these last few months, every time I read your updates I always think "That could have been me". We both bought from Auto100 and so far I have been pretty lucky and in comparison to you immeasurably so Good luck, hope something gets sorted soon. Keep us all up to date...

Is there an error code reader of choice for the Emira? One that shows all of the codes and, allows them to be reset? Needs to be something available in the UK Have to drive to the dealer on Wednesday, just for them to read the CEL code I currently have and for them to then determine next...

Thanks, My initial thought was how is that saving any weight, before I realised the OP was in the US :)

They're a myth :)

We just got a Ford Explorer EV and this has it. Its horrendous, tells me I'm tired, when I'm perfectly ok Overall far too many nanny type assistance tools on the car, going to work out what I can get turned off over the next few days

Those are extremely costly options, currently out of reach for most buyers

It was one of the things that my Wife pointed out to me when we got it. She thought Lotus had forgotten to cover it properly. The dealer explained otherwise. If someone has suggestions, I'd be interested. Only issue would be the thickness preventing the door from closing

Not had Ice grey, but was considering one when buying one. Went to look at a 2nd hand car, and there was a noticeably dark patch on the the drivers seat, outside edge. Now I own one, I realise this is where you put your hand as you get in/out of the car. I asked the dealer(It was a Lotus Main...

Nor rear quarter panels, or tailgate. Make it look like a DPV :)

Lets be honest, it was EVO, the Porsche was going win, even if the wheels fell off mid review. The rest is down to the "journalist" and their preconceptions. The Emira was going to struggle in this company, the Mustang because its a muscle car and EVO likes those and the A110, because they have...

Minor thing, but if you are having issues closing the boot, then get the dealer to look at the lock. Mine closes easily, but did a bit of adjustment to get there

What is the white car on the right? The prototype Esprit of a few years ago?

Do you ever get the feeling, your time here is wasted :) ?

Cannot help on the cause or the likelihood of it being similar to the Evora issue. What I would say is, get it looked at by the dealer.

If it was a quarter some time ago and Lotus really have got the process sorted for later cars, hopefully the percentage is starting to drop Unfortunately I am not sure it has, given the feed back on more recent cars

That would be so cool, although maybe only the older members of this forum would get it

As we found out on Sunday its Karma. Your job is coming back to bite you :)

Thats a lot of white cars !!!

I had the same scenario. Just contact Scorpion direct. They were very helpful. Sorted in about 3 days

44mpg !!!

That 0.5 mile drive home, was a rush heh :)

Who's was the 2nd Yellow Emira(Right one in the pics) ? By the time I got out there it had already gone Great meeting everyone, will order better weather for the next occasion.

09:00

After a while you have to take them off and its just delaying the start A .22 to the back of the head is more permanent :)

Obvious Q, who is actually turning up tomorrow? 1. Beachbum 2. Geoff Bland? 3. Orchardbike? 4. 5.

Warranty for Paint changed from 5yrs to 3yrs around August 2024. Car purchased after this date will only get the 3yr Warranty, prior to that 5yrs. UK consumer protection act, or whatever its called nowadays, will cover work carried out on a car, irrespective of warranty for about 6 months...

Currently can do any of the dates except 13th/14th Sept However obvious Q is: When does OB think he is likely to have his car back?

Well ironically, after I posted that we would try for new dates, I realised I will be in MK anyway on the 20th due to other commitments, so I plan on being there for coffee at 0900. If anyone feels the need to still meet I'll be there

Just went back through the later options and nothing except the 26th/27th, which is most likely too soon and I can't do anyway Any suggestions for late August or September?

Ok. So whens the next best option? I am going to be offline a lot o we the next 3-4 weeks, so not easy for me to coordinate unless we go with one of the dates that we decided not to use this time around Any preferences?

Would anyone mind if I post this event on the SELOC forum? Maybe a few on there are not members here and would be interested

Washer jets on my I4 are aimed low, so make it appear to be a poor flow rate. I have just learnt to fire the water as the blade gets to the bottom of the sweep Will get them adjusted when its next at the dealers

To all those over 500 miles. Take a day off, drive the car up and down an Interstate, get to 1000, use Sport mode. That day off will be worth it :)

@Orchardbike So you're to blame !!!

Are you sure your car counts? Its either not working at all, or had it all replaced and working perfectly

The update: Turns out the error code indicated an injector issue with Cyl 4. Ironically when I started the car up this morning, to take it to the dealer, the CEL remained lite for about 5 secs and then cleared. Even so still took it to the dealer. The 70 mile round trip gave no indication of the...
