    Engine Light

    My engine light came on today - have locked the car and started it again, and it still there. As the car is in the garage, I don't want to start it in the morning just to see if the light has gone away, but I can't remember if that light only goes out once the engine is started, or if it should...

    Come on Lotus - you are better than this.....

    go to Lotus website to see Emeya...... If they want to grow into a lifestyle brand and go upmarket... they have to start with the basics.... WTF is going on (and I am the biggest Lotus fan who will normally defend them when I shouldn't)

    Massive Favour..... pic of inside the hatch (the bit that is above the boot)

    Could I ask someone a favour - my car isn't here at the mo (recalls), could you take a photo of the inside of the hatch of the plastic that lives above the boot when closed. I am planning to put a road trip sticker there, but it's rough to the touch, and not sure if stickers will stay put. I...

    Quote from Andrew Frankel - from the Intercooler...

    With all the frustration on the delays out there, I thought I would remind us of this quote from Andrew's review... There is a road about five minutes from the Lotus factory in Norfolk which in 20 miles will tell you perhaps 80 per cent of what you need to know about a new car’s chassis. I take...

    Light hearted Emira related funny

    This made me laugh - my friend (who is a Lotus owner for many years) was 'taking the piss' out of me because of all the Emira delays... He told me one day that my V6 will likely look like this.. . So I said - well what about the i4 then ? His response.... (related to the rumoured cooling...

    Am I the only one who doesn’t want a Porsche…

    I know there is a lot of emotion and discussion now reviews are out.. but one thing I know is that I don’t want a Porsche… I find them very capable but too sterile and lacking character in the main… I haven’t driven a GT4 or 911 GT product though. I also don’t like the way all the reviewers...

    oh FFS !! (v6 vs i4 debate in my head)

    I know I won't get an answer here, as there will be mixed opinions, but maybe writing this down will help.. I have been i4 from day one... cheaper, lower running costs, DCT, newer design engine, lighter etc etc Then Shmee gets a V6 and I start listening to the v6, the more videos of any v6...

    Not long to wait…… Autocar drive review on March 9

    This weeks Autocar has its ‘next week’ ad saying that the emira first drive will be in the magazine… so I am guessing they are first, before Top Gear, unless it’s on this weekend.. and I think we would know.
