Yes I have the same problem it is a naff design, the plastic and clips are poorly made.

That's a nuisance, my dealer is Hendy at Eastleigh, I cannot fault the service I receive from them, Lotus is the cork in getting fixes quickly.

Hi, I have had a problem with this the car has been with my dealer for 3 weeks, Lotus cocked up sending the parts, apparently the steering wheel airbag is faulty causing the problem. I am told the part should arrive Monday and hopefully I will get the car Tuesday, who is your dealer?

No I wasn't offended, it is just my opinion, but I agree with you that Geely must be looking closely at the UK operation.

What a load of rubbish, it is costing Lotus lots of money dealing with this, it is mismanagement which is the problem, they need to fix the problems not keep making temporary fixes for ever and a day. I do not know what profit there is in an Emira but they certainly cannot have made a profit on...
