Had my second service at Bell & Colvill today where they installed the latest update that stops the non starting (and connected EML). Its only been a few days since they received, but have installed a few, and no issues reported yet.
ALSO - they confirmed they will be offering an extended...
Anyone else experienced or experiencing the following
After being parked up overnight, car will start fine, but then drive somewhere, leave for a short while (maybe an hour or so) car will then not start - fuel pump goes, but no start. lock car and unlock a couple of times, then it will start...
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...
For those of you in the south of the UK, 29th October there is an event near Brooklands for all types of cars run by Yiannimize who you may know Yianni is the guy who regularly does the drag races with Matt Watson on CarWoW. The Emira is classed a a Supercar, so will get into supercar parking :)...
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)
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...
Factory collection yesterday, as others have said well worth it… Scott is a legend as always, and he and Sam make the experience so good. Car is epic so far, so happy with my spec. More details to come, but just to say the wait is worth it…
Just back from a factory tour this pm… observations…
1. They were building cars….
2. No bad spec…. I am yellow with lower black pack and black wheels, alcantara interior with yellow stitch - almost switched to nimbus with red interior- looks amazing under factory lights
3. Every member of staff...
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...
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...
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...
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...
Who is trying really hard to make the process better as best he can...
Called me on Friday to send me my i4 config link and to pay 2nd deposit(I was very early on July 9th), which I did - but it went through as a V6 (or at least the email said that) - he called me today to apologise, read back...
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.
Hi all - I have a 2004 Exige S2 that I bought in 2005 and have had ever since. It started life as a 190 NA in touring spec, it now has 295hp and may have some carbon inside an out !
Emira is first new car that has tempted me to think about moving on... I am worried it might be too big for the...
