Another one with the paint bubbling. My car was delivered in April 2023, so I assume built in 03/23, poll above filled in accordingly.
Both doors and one of the rear quarter panels affected, all will need replacing. I noticed this last week after washing, it was strange how they all appeared at...
Mine is fixed now, it was the heater resistor and it was replaced. It took just over a day for the repair, I dropped it in first thing on Thurs and it was ready mid morning on the Friday. Usual excellent service from Oakmere Lotus in Northwich, Cheshire. Car was sparkling clean when I collected...
Mine is booked in tomorrow for the heater repair and has had odd tornado moments where the fan came on even with the fan switched off whilst drving. Interesingly today when I went to start the car, the battery was completely flat despite being driven extensively over the past days and weeks...
Another victim of the heater fault! Had the car since mid April and I am just on 6K miles. I thought that the heater wasn't working properly a couple of weeks ago and then it seemed OK. Not working at all now no matter what settings it is on. Service centre need the car for 2 days, but wil be...
Update on the creaking noise.
My car was in today for the mysterious creaking noise noticeable at low speed (mainly lock to lock turning/parking). Now fixed, it was the undertray and the fix involved some bonding and extra fixings. I am not really mechanically minded, so this is about the best...
I use Android with Waze as my preferred route planning. The mini map shows up on the dashboard for me. It is one of the screens that you can select with the over sensitive scroll buttons on the steering wheel. You can switch between a number of things there such as fuel consumption, music track...
I got my wiper recall letter today, but it is already booked in for 14/8/23 for another issue (after a ten week wait!)
I thought it was amusing that after all the effort of 'rebranding' to Lotus retailers and Lotus Service centres during the launch of the Emira that the letter mentions getting...
I wouldn't like to chance it to be honest. I can't understand why Lotus have not contacted owners with a recall notice or some kind of advice or official notification. I do wonder how they are getting away with knowingly allowing people to drive cars with dangerous defects. The dealerships know...
I find with mine that they will work at double speed immediatley after start up and if you switch them to single or off (trying to avoid the auto setting as you switch through), they just work in a not quite single speed mode thereafter, there is a hesitation between sweeps and it doesn't matter...
10 week wait for me to get my car looked at, booked at beginning of June appointment is mid August for creaking noise and wiper issue. I am reluctant to use the car now if there is any chance of rain for fear of prosecution as I would knowingly be driving a vehicle with defective windscreen...
Not enough hands on spanners seems to be the problem. When I had my Evora, it was the same with usually 8 weeks lead time for faults/repairs and servicing in my experience. They are no doubt busy with older Lotus models and the other sports car brands that they sell. It isn't too bad if you have...
The earliest that my local Lotus Service Centre can look at my car is mid-August, so my plan is to call Lotus Assistance to get them to come and diagnose what is wrong rather than me be driving it for the next 2 months and causing any unecessary damage whilst I wait for it to be looked at. Will...
