Service Manual

[MIGZ]

Is there a pdf of the Emira V6 service manual?

Do you know a place where one can purchase a printed copy?

Heh, if you've downloaded the file, I suppose kinkos can print you one off, but I don't think Lotus has a printed copy for sale.

 

[Time2Fly]

I was hoping to go with oil/water resistant paper for a proper shop manual but Fedex (Kinkos) and Office Depot want 1k for that.

FYI, It's not a great doc.

Misses lots of detail.

A cynic would say that the people responsible for creating it, have never worked on an Emira.

Just MHO.

I have the service doc from the discord server. I don't know if that one's any better.

As in, you paid Lotus to be able download it? That's what I did.

LOL so goes most of the manuals for most manufacturers honestly. They usually leave a lot to be desired and miss a lot of details to the skill level of the mechanic. I thought the Lotus documentation is about on par with BMW TIS.

No, I found a copy online. I would pay for a printed manual though if Lotus would sell one.

I don't think it's always about skill level.
On so many modern builds, knowing the location of, and required 'action' to release all these nasty hidden plastic clips etc, which way to push, or squeeze. So much hidden stuff that only product knowledge (or a decent manual) can lead you to.
I wonder just how many hidden plastic automotive 'clips' get broken, globally, by people attempting to dismantle modern cars per year??

LOL, they're not really meant to be taken apart and put back together.

That is an owner's manual; request was for service manual?

So was the previous outdated link ! For service manuals - https://dealerportal.uslotservice.lotuscars.com/ - sign up as an independent and subscribe for a minimal period to download.... There’s definitely a V6 version but not sure if i4 version has been published yet….

You can purchase either a "service manual" or an "owner's handbook" from Forum member "Martylemoo" at a reasonable price, using this thread:

Thread 'Emira Full Handbook'

Jan 29, 2024

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.

At one point you could download a PDF copy, now it looks like its only viewable through the browser

I just found that out the hardway on Saturday. Bought the 1 hour special and had to work like mad to get in relevant sections. I thought it was going to have a "Download All" option, but goes to show what happens when you assume!

Hoping Martylemoo will still be making runs of the hardcopy.

 

[crashprash]

Is there somewhere where we can see a detailed service schedule? ie everything that the dealer is supposed to do/check/replace at every service interval? I want to provide my own consumables (oils etc) so want to buy these ahead of time when I book in a service.

If you didn’t manage to download them all let me know I can help.
