I had my loom replaced as well. Similar timescale. It appears to have resolved the electrical gremlins I am told the car exhibited (the dealership picked up on them before handover).

Lotus have expedited the process by taking the ABS module off the production line to send to Rybrook. Hopefully sorted in 7-10 days. By bypassing LCC, the wheels have turned at a much quicker rate and I can see light at the end of the tunnel. I agree that it seems likely that the electronic...

An update of sorts from me - despite several calls to Customer Services over the past fortnight, there's still no listing within the Lotus parts catalogue for the ABS module (HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT ASM-ESC part number 8892895979) and despite various assurances, no one from Lotus Customer...

Popped into Rybrook service centre to see my Emira sandwiched between a Rolls Royce and a Mclaren. Good news is the wiring loom has been installed but subsequent testing has revealed the ABS module needs replacing and is now on back order. However, had a good chat with Andrew at Rybrook and...

I know what you mean but (a) the fact Lotus were initially retraining seamstresses to bolt together engines doesn't exactly inspire confidence; and (b) Rybrook BIrmingham (i.e. Lotus Birmingham) are also a McLaren dealership and so I'd hope their service team are pretty skilled. Let's hope my...

Not yet. I am popping over next week to see the car (and now extensive the job is). Nearly £5k on ppf so rejecting it is problematic without lotus picking up the cost of ppf on its replacement.

I've deliberately kept off the board for a few weeks as the anticlimax of delivery has gotten to me. My emira was due for collection from Lotus Birmingham in April and Lotus Birmingham kindly liaised with Elite Car Detailing to have the car fully PPFed during the week prior to handover to me at...

I had the same concern but ppf didn't appear to be an issue with the insurers I contacted - the lack of a tracker was more of an issue (but ultimately Admiral provided a low premium, pff noted on the policy (but the cost of non-OEM mods is not covered i.e. I'd have to pay for replacement ppf on...

My S2000 was the guinea pig for Nitron's development of the set up for the S2000 (I still have some pretty graphs somewhere on the hard drive relating to the benchmarking of the OEM shocks). Guy kindly upgraded my order FOC to what is now labelled the R3 spec (3-way adjustable with remote...

I've had ppf applied to the door jambs to extend the coverage as indicated in this photo by the two coloured areas:

Snap. By way of comparison, Classicline were circa £1,085 but dependent upon fitting tracker. Adrian Flux was ~£1,800 and Manning were a little cheaper.

I didn't add it as an option as it felt like overkill for my situation and the annual subscription would grate. The good news is Admiral have come through with approx £875 quote without a tracker requirement. 3000 miles per annum including 1000 business miles. Includes wife on the policy. EDIT...

The owner is on here - it's me! Turns out Rybrook had passed my car over to Elite last week (before I had even received the invoice from Lotus for the balance payment) who were already working on it when I visited - none of us looking at the car realised that it was mine (numberplates weren't...
