Bought my car from a non-Lotus dealer, who received 5 or 6 cars from Lotus, as a job lot. The car I bought only came with one key, so have been chasing the dealer for 3 months to source the other one
Dealers excuse all along has been Lotus being evasive and non-responsive to their requests for the 2nd key to be sent to them. Seems it wasnt just my car that only had 1 key.
OK, so my experience of Lotus matches with the Dealers, yes they can be anything but responsive when they feel there is little in it for them, but 3 months was too much

In the end had the dealer agree to pay for a new key, that I would source from my local Lotus Dealer, as it was just easier this way............... £250 !!! How much ?!?!? Its a key, with a few eletrics and a s/w program. Same sort of key from KIA is £75. OK Merc & BMW charge a lot more, but lets be honest, Lotus arent Merc or BMW

Glad I'm not paying for this and it now has ne thinking about putting Android tags on my keys so I dont lose them.

They are showing on Aliexpress but they'll need programming
