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

[emirahl]

Due to my frustration with the aircon saga, I did a test drive on a roadster (not mid engine), pricewise comparable to the Emira.
Conclusion: Would never trade in the Emira for that, even with all the little problems she has.

I saw this posted much earlier on in the 18 pages of this thread... does this mean the water-sensitive Resistor is an officially known issue / official recall? seems everyone here is just going in 1 person at a time, rather than under a formal service initiative ...

The resistor pack issue is a well known problem (water ingress leading to failure) and sooner or later will affect all Emiras produced before measures taken to rectify (improved water shielding). Lotus fully aware and should be a recall. Currently down to owners to catch AC problems and raise with their Lotus dealers within the 3 year warranty period.

Sod that, mines going into the dealers next month, due to a separate issue. I will raise it with them then and have them sort it out at the same, plus any other items that are known and can be dealt with. Hopefully s/w update too
