Hi, this was just before first service 12 months ago and of course it did not manifest itself while in the service dept! I did quite a bit of research, the most likely answer being it was a bearing somewhere in the drive belt system where the outer shell was spinning within its housing, which...

Massive congrats, wishing you lots of happy miles together, I'm 10,000 miles in and loving it.

Good info - this is the key for me! I was lucky enough to be driven round Hethel test track by Gavan in an Emira - different level awesome.

Happy to look at that for you - will DM you about this.

Here are the missing details, along with the completed painting, which is 36" x 36" (915mm x 915mm). Hope you enjoy studying it! I'll re-share the earlier artworks of Dark Verdant, Hethel Yellow and Seneca here shortly too. the completed painting, which is 36" x 36" (915mm x 915mm). I'll...

I hope to get to do prints one day, will announce here when that happens. I have still not received my framed print (Dark Verdant) from Lotus nearly two years after delivery!

Great spot! I hadn't got to that yet either - you'l see it in the finished photos being posted here tonight, along with all the other missing details.

Thank you, very kind of you to say so. I'll be posting finished photos tonight, with all the missing elements added.

Thanks Rory, it is definitely a winning combo. Red calipers must hide the brake dust better than my yellow ones too...

Too funny, will see what I can do!

In true IT fix style, perhaps i'll try switching the Virgin hub off and back on again...

Wipers was the easiest spot but came last!

I hadn't spotted that! I actually flipped this image left to right before I painted it, so the side showing is actually the side without the flap. Great spot though!

Good shout Adrian, I am also on Virgin Media and recently re-engaged with the forum. I can access it via my laptop but cannot access it from my mobile, both of which are routed through my virgin hub. I'll check this week if i can access it when in the office or not, which I know is not virgin.

...looking forward to adding that.

Thanks, work and other commitments have kept me away but it's great to be back on here - I'd forgotten what a great community it is. Great spots, although the first edition badge on the dash is also missing in the reference shot - I should add it in, once I check if it's visible from that angle...

Whatever a valve controller is, it's not it. :cool:

Hi, I had the same happen about a year ago - need to fold them in every time it goes in or out of the garage. It's happened a couple of times since then but not enough to be annoying - yet...

That's it complete except for 4 small details (actually 3 small and one not so small...) - I fully expect seasoned Emira experts like you to spot all 4! You can DM me your answers if you want to keep the others guessing a while longer...

Hi, it's quite some time since I've posted here and over a year since I've done any painting. Festive break saw me back art the easel and enjoying it once i'd blown the cobwebs away. The Nimbus Emira painting, last featured here when half finished...

Yep, this happens with my 996 C4S too - and they are big brakes! As stated elsewhere on this forum GrahamClark_60-68 , take the car for a short (or long!) drive after washing (I do this with the 911 and Emira) - and use it more often!

That is stunning, just gorgeous. The tan with yellow calipers works great - same combo I have on my Dark Verdant Emira, red with red calipers would also work really well - I'd love to see a photo of that too one day.

The second DV you've driven Mark, very different spec to mine though! The goodyears are great, although I'd be interested to try PS4s which are what I have on my 911 - incredible all rounder.

Wow, if Osmium had been available earlier it may have been my choice ahead of dark verdant.

I'd have headed into town tomorrow to say hi but I'm actually heading to the Jim Clark Museum in Duns, true Lotus legend. Worth a visit if you have the time!
