I replaced all of mine with 304 (stainless) socket flange fasteners (no washer required). I think the outers that go through the sill are M5, and the inners into the chassis are m6, but you'd need to double check. The OEM ones soon corrode and look shite (and my car never sees the rain!) I've...

Are they only replacing the front loom? The common issue, is water ingress into the big plastic plug joining that loom, and the main loom that runs through the car (internally), and I thought they usually change both, as those two mating plugs usually suffer 'together'.

My car has the stock battery, is now 7000 miles and 18 months old, and it's never failed to start & run as it should.

DV & Gold, but I'm biased....

Is your car garaged?

Not sure why the parking sensors would need calibrating? I removed front and rear bumpers when installing my carbon fibre parts, and simply unplugged the sensors, removed bumpers, refitted them, re plugged, and everything works just fine.

Telephonics, or Telematics?? I have a telematics message saying that 'Limited Telematics' blah blah. Seems to show completely randomly Jon

No. I think they are just very low power, local transmitters, with a very local receiver in each wheel arch, so there's no crosstalk due to distance.. My second set of wheels just got new OEM TPMS units, fitted the wheels and I all worked fine

Surely less concave?

Got ya (y) So V6 rear wheels on a i4 will look WIIIIDE

Set further outboard, or tucked further under the arch??

Ah, good news, thanks for clarifying. Jo

I hope you're right, but the video states quite clearly that vehicles registered from 2017-2025 (mine) will now pay the £195 std fee, plus the 5 year suplement of £600 (up from something like £375)

More like third world these days

<2025 Emira road tax year 2 to 6 will, according to this video, be going up from £600/ year to £795/ year. Anyone got any gunpowder? I loath my Government.

I'm in Weybridge. Jon

Anyone interested in a set of 5 Spokes alloys for their Emira? These are forged alloy, exact size & fitment as OEM emira (though a few kg lighter) Very similar style to the Ferrari 458 Italia wheels. I have a set on my Emira in gold, these are identical, but in silver. Brand new unused, still...

I take it this sold?

No, That's a pic posted on this forum by an owner that was unlucky enough to suffer the main loom plug failure from water ingress, and Bell & Colvill stripped it out (as seen) to replace the looms. As I said in my journal thread, fortunately, I inspected my looms/plug, and it was dry & clean...

They should be replacing the loom that runs through the cockpit, and the front loom. It's the large plug joining these looms together that suffers water ingress when a couple of the holes in the swiss cheese line up, ie, poor/missing plug main seal, and the standard windshield drainage system...

Items 3 & 4, front loom & fuse box are a big issue. I discussed it, with pics here: https://www.emiraforum.com/threads/my-dv-emira-and-modifications.3798/page-4 And as shown by pics from other members, the job of replacing the looms (front and rear need doing) requires a pretty heavy stripdown.

Would changing the style of the main driver display be a possibility? ie, to some virtual analogue circular guages? Jon

Might be worth asking this lot...

The Dealers didn't own those demo cars. (during the direct sales model period) Lotus loaned the cars to the dealers, and paid a 'fee' for each demo performed.

I stopped by Bell & Collvil today. There was a 2024 DV Emira on the forecourt, with very bad blistering on one door. Odd thing was, the area in question had some lines, the sort you see where in prep, the sanding has feathered the edge of paint, primer etc, and when the topcoat has been applied...

I think if it were paint related, those with pull PPF would be way less likely to have issues, but I think plenty of folk with issues, have PPF, as a few have mentioned the warranty door replacement, included the re application of PPF. I think that if it's moisture, it's coming through from the...

That's a very generous view. I think they should be tearing the subcontractor to bits. You'd like to think there would be a powerful contract in place about quality, and liability over their product.

My car probably isn't a very good litmus test, as it's garaged, doesn't get used in the wet unless I get caught out, and gets washed very carefully, very rarely with a hose.... yeah I know, a garage queen. :ROFLMAO: But, does anyone reading here, treat their car similarly, and still have...

It's plausable that the manufacturer in Portugal has lax control of the process, meaning some batches get a more accurate resin/catalyst ratio than others, or satisfactory mixing of the resin, temp or humidity during the curing process or some other variable. These things effect GRP manufacture...
