Interesting, same here. I'm guess the bead gives a bit of "roll" that Lotus did not want to affect the steering. Rears: Front:

Interesting. I suspect it may be different per make of car and the type and size of display. There's probably differences in the version of Android Auto too (CoolWalk etc). It can't matter much that the arrow is not centred as I had been using it for months without realising the arrow wasn't...

Yes - that is normal. I think it is to give room for details, such as route directions, on the other side. The arrow can move around a little when following a route and move more to the centre but mostly it is offset.

Well I have now, that car and presumably yours are same colour and rims as mine.

Knowing the audience on this website gives me the suspicion that having that young lady in the photo may also win this competition too... :rolleyes:

Try searching for wall fishing kit - or wire pulling kit.

I attended the Blackbushe Air Day today as part of the “Best of British” section of cars; Lotus and Morgans. I had a great day. Everyone was really interested in the Lotus and especially the two Emiras there & I spent a lot of time answering questions about mine We made many a kid’s day by...

Seeing as I've just dug my shorts out of the cupboard it must be summer in the UK. The warmer summer temperatures can increase your tyre pressures by a couple of PSI. This can make a difference to your handling and feel of the car - especially if on Sports suspension and especially if on Cups...

The yellow, black, red reminds me of Hotwheels - in a good way....

Obviously the more yellow on a car the better !!!! :LOL: But seriously, I think the stripe on the mirrors is the best bit.

No juddering from my wiper blades at all - driving it in light and torrential rain or even when not raining and I hit the wipers by mistake. Worth you replacing them, you can always keep the current ones as spares in case the swap doesn't fix it.

Just in case anyone is interested, there are 2 Lotus spaces left at the Blackbushe Air Day this Saturday - open to any Lotus car owner but you need to register with the event today if interested so the organiser can get tickets organised. SELOC have a 'Best of British' club stand with (up to)...

Very helpful, I wanted to know how well a windscreen rear facing camera worked. Looks like it works pretty well & so no need for a rear camera I think which saves me the hassle of running wires through the cabin.

I just had a good feel round on the wheel well round the back of the bumper and I could feel how it went together, there's no clips at the far outside edge of the bumper. Using one hand pulling down on the bumper to free it up from the quarter panel, I used the palm of my second hand to see if...

OK that's useful to know. I tried the reset too just in case - that made no difference. I had a closer look at how the mirror works. The door mirror as a whole rotates out when you unlock the car and literally drops into a notched position to hold it in a fixed place. You can lift and push the...

Thanks for the replies. The car is an early build so maybe that is the cause. Mine is a UK car so RHD. There seems to be no adjustment on the mirror glass fitment. But I wonder if there is some adjustment on the pivot/gears/motor/whatever that puts the mirror in and out for the parking/locked...

Does anyone know if it is possible to adjust the door mirror glass position? My passenger side window is great but my drivers side window does not move far out enough on the mirror controls. Half of the mirror is filled with the car at full right adjustment. I had a look at the service manual...

See you then - thanks for organising this.

Welcome to the club. Very nice and "Sir Winston" great nick-name. ""The true guide of life is to do what is right.""

Welcome to the club. Yellow - best colour - with yellow roof - doubly so.

Front, wing mirrors, around the flanks of the car and as cryptovince mentions the windscreen. By the time you've paid to have that done you might as well get the rest of the car done. Actually, scratch that, sod's law states the most likely places to get a stone chip is the place you didn't...

I think the idea is to get a load of us together to have a special meet-up to commiserate orchardbike all the problems has had with his Emira and to celebrate the fact that he finally has it back (fingers crossed, strokes rabbit foot, touches fibre-glass, etc). But that "Lotus in the Peaks"...

With all this talk about maps and octane ratings it might be worth pointing out that US and UK/EU use different scales for octane ratings. UK/EU 95 is about the same as US 91/93 UK/EU 98/99 is about the same as US 95 I think that is right - please feel free to correct me?

Welcome to the club. Glad you are enjoying the car - you probably deserve to after a 3 year wait. I spent a month in Northern CA many years ago but on the opposite side nearer the ocean, Russian River and Clearlake area. If I remember correctly you have some lovely roads to drive in North CA -...

I didn't like the steering wheel shape either when I got the car. But with use (4000+ miles) it has grown on me - I may even be starting to like the shape now. And ditto with the motorcyclists - I got a thumbs-up from a very fast Kawasaki biker right after I have picked my car up, which was nice.

Both the two new colours are very nice. That purple may be my second choice now after yellow - although I don't think there is a colour yet I've seen that the Emira doesn't look stunning in. I wonder if any of these upgrades are software only ones that work with existing First Edition hardware...

Same with mine. Passenger side is perfect but drivers side sticks out 5mm at the top, hardly noticeable but once I noticed it's bugging me. I was going to get the dealer to fix it at the next service under warranty.

Would love to go as Barleylands is just 10 minutes down the road but can't make that weekend. Next time for sure. I also recognise the Essex Lotus registration - from the Seloc Breakfast Meet at Poplar Nurseries in May. Is this the same meet just a different venue - or just a different meet up?

20th July I'm not sure orchardbike can make the 21st June as mentioned in his previous post (I could do 21st June too any excuse for a drive :)) Grounds Cafe But Fabrice or Caffeine & Machine also fine, having not been to any of these I have no preference - as long as there's coffee I'm happy.

SELOC is pretty good - https://forums.seloc.org/ - its the only other one than this forum that I use regularly. It's been active since 2003 when I joined with my Elise. SELOC was South-East Lotus Owners Club but it moved to be all of the UK and Europe fairly quickly and also there plenty of...

According to the manual it also resets the trip meter if you have it selected on the main screen.
