[Blackthought_]

User Manual is bound, workshop manual will be wire spiral.

Is it 37 for the service manual too?

 

[Rapture]

#2 *raises hand*
I'm keen to get in on a user manual print run if one is happening, and the workshop manual too, please and thank you.

#3, I would like the User Manual.

 

[brainf18]

I would need to do another print run, start a list on here and when it hits 5 I will print some more.

I'm in for the owners manual...pm sent

 

[silent cilantro]

I’ll take one of each!

 

[Martylemoo]

Is it 37 for the service manual too?

No, it’s over 560 pages of A4, plus hardcover and ring binding.
Firm price to US TBC once I have the proof and can accurately calculate shipping.

Just FYI for all the US owners, Lotus says there will be a USA version of the Owner's Handbook shortly.

Sign me up for a U.S. owner's manual if that is available.

If I can get a link to the PDF I can get a quote on the US version. I cannot imagine what would be different though?

I suppose the steering wheel will be on the left along with all the corresponding controls, maybe one or two of them in a different location.
Just visuals really.
Did mainland Europe get a different handbook?

There will likely be regional specific information such as any legislated info that needs to be included (for example the UK one has a declaration of conformity of the radio equipment for the UK market) or services (there is a section on UK + EU roadside assistance).

In addition to these there will have been a need for the appropriate language localisation for different countries in Europe, so yes they will have had a different handbook.

 

[Stiffarm]

Yep, thats from the May 23 version. And I quote…
“For the first 1000 miles, only use moderate throttle openings (about half of the available accelerator pedal travel) and do not run the engine continuously at engine speeds over 4,000 rpm.
– For the first 1000 miles, use only ‘Tour’ drive mode. Do not use ‘Sport’ or ‘Track’ modes.
– For Emira 4-cylnder models fitted with the 8-Speed Dual Clutch Transmission, do not use Lotus Launch Control until 1000 miles have been exceeded.
– For automatic transmission models, avoid using kick-down.
– Occasional short bursts at wider throttle and higher engine speed will be beneficial, as will a constantly changing cruising speed and making full use of the gearbox.”…………….

I received no full owner's manual with the car. Only three short pamphlets, each with no more than 40 pages. .

 

[Stiffarm]

It would seem that Lotus seem it acceptable to not offer the full handbook unless you hand over £199 to them.

If I was able to produce them for £20 inc delivery would anybody be interested? Just trying to cover my costs if I go for a print run.

yes, send particulars--I did not get a manual, other than the stick!

 

[LIQUIX]

US version now available here. I am in for one please.

When I click this link I get a page with errors and links below that are for the UK August 2022 manual. Did they take it down?
(even using US site and US VPN)

[Barcino2012]

It has interim written all over it, and in running in, it states the sport and track exclusions……..interestingly under warranty, if you ever use launch control, no warranty……..not sure if that would be legal as it is an endorsed feature of the car….

 

[tvs_1320]

From the warranty booklet : “body panel, glass and trim adjustments may intermittently be required to prevent excessive water ingress, or noise and vibration and so should be considered as routine maintenance. “

LOL - apparently some water ingress is normal, it's only if it becomes excessive does it become a warranty issue. I wonder if the definition of "excessive" is as nebulous as "soon".

Having bought a handbook from Martylemoo and wanting to keep it in good condition, I have found a solution which others might find helpful.
I looked in various places for an A5 folder similar to that which I have for my VW Tiguan (which I knew was the right size). In the end gave up and sourced a VW folder for about £22. This folder has a VW logo embossed on it, so I then sourced a stick on vinyl lotus badge.
Folder was from partshaus.co.uk, sticker from divinehandcraft.co.uk.
