    Emira and British Multi Storey Car Parks (Airports?)

    I use multi-story car-parks in High Wycombe (e.g. Wycombe Swan) that are very tight and the google reviews even mention this. They're some of the tightest I've experienced. I wouldn't take my GTR in there, but the Emira is fine although I still wince when I go round the corners. Ramps are fine...

    Service Notification on Dash: Turning it off

    Thanks. Interesting. It sounds like it's got some kind of timer mechanism on it. I think I'll just leave it as is!

    Service Notification on Dash: Turning it off

    I've got my first service booked for mid July, but every time I turn the Emira on, I get a message flash up reminding me to book my service. Does anyone know how I can turn this off permanently? It's not a biggy, once I start the car and drive off I don't see it, but it feels a bit naggy and...

    Air con known issue -no fix yet [EDIT: now with official fix]

    Got my Emira back from the shop all fixed, everything seems to be working fine and this is the new version of the resister pack which has additional parts and better water-proofing. I talked with the Lotus Silverstone chap about a service in July and when he rang back and confirmed he said...

    Paint Protection Film (PPF) and Wrap for your Emira

    I got full car PPF done through a local 3rd party to me, amazing job. Cost about £5k. I got it done independently because Lotus told me they no longer offered it as an option. Both my cars have PPF now, no regrets.

    Air con known issue -no fix yet [EDIT: now with official fix]

    Mine's going in to the dealer workshop on Friday 19th April and Lotus HQ Customer Services have confirmed that the part has been sent out. So, fingers crossed by May this will be a solved problem!

    Air con known issue -no fix yet [EDIT: now with official fix]

    I'm sure there's a reasonable complex process and it will take some time to re-engineering the part and get it out to the dealers. What irritates me though is the complete lack of transparency or any form of communication. All I want is a bit of information from them that shows things are moving...

    Air con known issue -no fix yet [EDIT: now with official fix]

    My Emira was due in to Silverstone to replace the resistor pack next week (w/c 11th March '24). Got a call from Silverstone today saying that they had not been able to get hold of the part from Lotus so my booking was being shifted in to April when they hoped they might have the part. The "hope"...

    Looks like there's a small, but growing contingent of Emira drivers in West Hertfordshire area, there must be a car meet-up somewhere around here that we could arrange to be at! :)

    Dashcam for the Emira

    Me too. I've just swapped my rear-window rear camera for the plug-in rear camera and am wondering how to make it work. Currently I'm considering buying a different make that will work on the rear window; either Blackvue or Thinkware, but if there's a way to make this work, it'd be better to go...

    I'm slightly further round the M25 (anticlockwise, M40 way), but Watford's the nearest town that most people would know! The A41 not looking so good today. it being shut all day due to an accident. Would be cool if we managed to cross paths...

    Dashcam for the Emira

    The camera attaches to its mounting via a magnet. The mounting assumes the rear window it attaches to is sloping. If the mount is attached to a vertical window and the camera then added to the mount the camera will just point downwards at about a 45deg angle at the engine itself which is no use...

    Tracker or fit your own Ghost?

    An update on this: I spoke to the chap who's installed 2 Ghost2's for me in the past. He said that as yet, Autowatch have not developed the software to run on the Ghost2 to be compatible. There has been some activity, but nothing has got to the point where they could install one in an Emira and...

    Dashcam for the Emira

    Hi, was that the plug-in rear-view camera, or the rear-window attached camera? I bought the rear-window attached camera and the installer told me it wasn't compatible with the vertical window between the Emira cabin and engine bay. Having researched that now, that looks completely correct, it...

    Picked my Emira up in early August from the factory. Great day. It went away for about 10 days to have full PPF installed, but now it's back and I'm loving it. Went for a drive yesterday evening, the A41 from the M25 to Aylesbury is a great road. I'm fortunate enough to own a GTR too, that's...

    Tracker or fit your own Ghost?

    Did you go ahead and get the Ghost2 installed? I've just got my Emira and was aiming to get the Ghost2 installed (I've got it installed on my wife's car and my other car too), but the Autowatch website doesn't say specifically that the Ghost2 is compatible with the Lotus Emira. I emailed them...
