New week - new code! Anyone hit U0109 yet? Persistent over multiple starts. Additionally I got a weird noise from the front I've yet to investigate. Reallly hope there isn’t a correlation.. Car runs fine without any fuel cuts or similar for now. Gonna go with the obligatory battery reset first.

Got in the car today, open doors, only turned ignition on (5s push). Heard a rather unpleasant sound from the front. What pump sits under the front right fender? Sounds like usual and then like you stick something into moving blades. If someone played with computer fans and let something touch...

Hi! I'm currently elaborating on designing custom seat badges. My primary goal would be white illumination with the OEM Lotus or Emira branding. Fully customizable text or RGB illumination won't be too much of a production adjustment if the demand is there. I'm not taking orders now...

Just got my car back from the dealer for inspection and other items. They also applied a fix for a recall I haven’t heard of yet, so I thought I’d share. The recall is being listed as (translated) "Lotus Recall 2023/21 - Oil cooling lines". My build date should be around November 22. I...

Hi! I have a set of proper winter tires fitting the Emira up for grabs. 2x 245/35 R20 91V Pilot Alpin PA4 N1 FSL 2x 295/30 R20 101V Pilot Alpin PA4 N1 XL FSL I won't be driving the next winter season so would be a shame to leave them to age. Run about 5k km, no burnouts or anything...

Hi! A friend followed me in his car for some time today and asked me about the brake lights which seemed to behave oddly... When pressing on the brake - typical usage, no emergency braking - the lights turn on, go off, and turn on again to stay on. I also noticed it in the rear mirror when...

It's getting cold out there... Time to plan for some winter hibernation of our beloved Emiras 💤 How do you go about this? Things I've planned: Oil+filter change beforehand + Service is due so that too Clean it like there's no tomorrow 3-3.5bar pressure on the tires Remove the battery, and keep...

AC left me today. Seems like it’s the known issue where it only blows hot (does some little cold air if I’m getting lucky and on low fan setting). Also only blows in the foot area, regardless of what setting is used. What I didn’t hear about yet is a loud humming (almost like the sound big...

@TomE can we get something like pointer-events: none; added on the Emira image shown in the background of thread replies? At least on iOS you cannot copy text currently, since a prompt to save the bg image is being triggered before text selection kicks in

Hi, currently there’s a safety recall active for the Emira. Apparently belt’s were installed incorrectly resulting in rubbing against -something-, damaging them over time. Worst case it rips when you need it the most. Allegedly deliverys are suspended (in Germany) currently. Lotus is...

Is anyone able to find some solid terms and conditions for the roadside assistance included in the purchase? I can only find fancy-made websites and brochures but no watertight legal text.

Hi, I almost didn't want to start another thread, but I feel like this is going to take a while to get sorted and thought it might be of interest. Here’s what I’m dealing with currently: Around 300 or 400km ago, my car went into limp mode accompanied by an ESC error. Sorted itself out after a...

Aufio output completely stopped working today, randomly, regardless of source whatever. Already let the car sit for a while that didn’t help. Gonna disconnect the battery when I’m home.. Good thing I have a nice instrument in the backseat that I can enjoy on my way there :D

Hi! time's up. Wiper still isn't fixed. I'll file a complaint with the German "Kraftfahrt-Bundesamt" to get things going. I'm hoping they'll set a deadline for Lotus to take action. If they do and Lotus misses said deadline, they can issue sanctions of varying range and severity. I'm in love...

Hi friends, anyone else got squeaky brakes? Mine started being squeaky 3-4 weeks after pickup and I figured they're being broken in plus bad wet weather etc. However they didn't really stop. Now about 3.5k kilometers in and being through a few high-speed cycles too I start wondering...

Well I always thought the gear shifter felt a bit funny, but always got the "lotus be like that" responses. Now it's stuck in first and no way to get it free. At least I got lucky and it happened while correcting to reverse into the garage and we were able to push it in with the clutch pressed...
