What did you do to your Emira today?

[Blackthought_]

So went out for a Sunday drive this afternoon, tit was going well until, after 30 minutes, the tyre low pressure warning light came on (rear offside), I stopped and it didn't seem unduly low so I drove to the next service station and topped it up (£1.50 for a cup full of air, what a rip off!). Then 10 minutes later I got the same warning for the front offside (to be fair I should have checked them all at the service station but a young lady was waiting behind me so I did the chivalrous thing and let her have the rest of my £1.50s worth of air, more fool me!)

A little fed up I decided to head home to check them properly but things nealrly ended dramatically when I had to swerve approaching a right hand bend as a BMW 4x4 coming the other way decided that he needed at least 2 ft of my side of the road as his side simply wasn't big enough to get his fat arse car round the bend. I don't think he was paying enough attention to hear the blast on my horn but I think the car following him got the gist and was maybe even able to lip read the old Anglo Saxon word I shouted at him (the one starting with a C...). I suppose I should be thankful that I wasn't driving quicker or even aiming for the apex of the corner as that could have been nasty.

I got home checked and topped up all the tyres and then, just before putting the car away noticed that the check engone light was on! Hopefully that will go away next time I start it up!

P.s. Lotus why is it impossible to see the actual pressure readings when the tyre pressure warning light is on? Surely it would make more sense to have the readings still showing so that you can tell if it's just dropped because of low road temps, as I suspect was the issue today, rather than a deflation.

You can though? I got the same light and I can use the right hand side buttons to check out the tire pressures and see which one is low?

Well I tried that and it didn't work. I'll give it a go next time. The actual warning display tells you which tyre is low but I coudln't get to see the actual readings, maybe it's different on UK/US cars?

Had fun taking pics with the GRP Stance+Lights.

I think he means GRP spacers and or adjustable spring cups. Not the lighting. That you can find through S-type or a number of other sources

Ah, got it.
