    Auto100 - UK Trader in Sutton in Ashfield

    I believe that ALL UK Emiras were registered in Norwich (AO, AP, AR, AS, AT, AU) while the ill-fated factory-direct sales "experiment" ran - until some point in 2024 when they reverted to the dealer sales model and local registrations took place again.... Cars were delivered pre-registered for...

    They Say There's no Such Thing as a Stupid Question - Licence Plates

    Replacement adhesive pads are available but expensive from the plate supplier but are readily available in bigger packs on Amazon which are much better value. Personally I wouldn't use Velcro on an Emira as there's no benefit in easy removal unless you're a light-fingered passer by.....

    They Say There's no Such Thing as a Stupid Question - Licence Plates

    A bit of warmth (if needed) and a combination of a plastic trim removal tool and/or a bit of dental floss or fishing line if needed to cut through the adhesive pads should do the trick.... If you get a short number (mine's 5 digits) and use a shorter front plate you may also need to cut the...

    Console delete button ?

    It's not in the full manual (shown as a blank there too) or used in UK Emiras either - I would guess that the overhead console panel is a Geely "parts bin" item and that this is used in other vehicles - maybe Link & Co?

    Fog lights for front

    The rear fog light in the UK is just the tiny white reversing light with some red LED's enabled and connected to the fog light switch - chances are it's already there in cars built for other markets and just needs enabling somehow.....

    Scorpion Tracker

    Except that it's not that great in practice - I've gone back to the fob as there were too many false "stolen" alerts. 1) You need to have the app running in the foreground before starting the car and 2) the latest version of the iOS app (at least - Android may be better) says that there's a...

    V6 auto or i4 DCT

    I have a V6 Auto (cancelled my i4 order and bought an ex-demo from a dealer when the delays and price rises were happening and after Scott Walker arranged a drive in a press I4 at Hethel) and would advocate for that too - the Auto (previously known as IPS in the Evora and Exige V6) has been...
