Lotus Emira Forum and News Forum

Hi everyone 1600km in here in Toronto with the v6 first edition. I have not had any of the issues mentioned in multiple posts however found my first hiccup. Got caught in my first rainfall and noticed the windshield wipers are stuttering very hard. so hard they are barely cleaning water off the windshield. Has anyone else experienced this?

Hi there, I have an Emira with 3rd cat delete, JB4, and Eventuri intake. Car's been good all year. BUT - now I'm seeing a check engine light. When I use the JB4 to read the code, it comes back as P123C. From what I've found, P123C is a Lotus-specific code meaning the charge cooler pump isn't running. The usual cause is a low charge cooler coolant tank (the small pink-fluid bottle in the top-left of the engine bay). I checked mine and it's full, sitting right between MIN and MAX. So it's...

I bought my car a couple of weeks ago with 2,000 miles on the clock, and I have to say I’m really not finding it enjoyable when I can’t shift properly from first to second gear. More often than not, I end up just revving the engine like someone who doesn’t know how to change gear. There’s clearly an issue with this car when shifting from first to second and from third down to second. It feels as though there’s a two-stage gate, and it takes an excessive amount of force to get it into gear... Read more

Not really a "problem", per se, but a curiosity... what lines (or what I assume to be coolant lines) are running up through the center of the car, near the center firewall, that would put off a ton of heat, even when the heater valves are closed (because the heater isn't on)? The other day, I reached down beneath the dash while cruising because I felt warm air across my legs. Touched an exposed part of the metal floor/chassis, the raised spot (tunnel?), under the dash, in front of the... Read more

Anyone got a digital version they can share? I am in Canada and have the V6. Thank You. Rorie

91 degrees Fahrenheit outside and just like that my 2026 with 2500 miles stops working. Not fun. In shop now. Anybody else have AC issues?

Edit: This meet is now confirmed for Saturday, 3rd October, 10am - see you there! Address: Caffeine and Machine Bedford, 1 Ampthill Rd, Houghton Conquest, Bedford MK45 3JP I've been speaking with a few other owners on here about another central England meet-up for Emira owners - after we did one last year. Who would be up for a meet - Saturday, 3rd October ? We did a coffee house in Milton Keynes last time but I was thinking we could instead do Caffeine and Machine in... Read more

95k. Second owner bought at 5000mi selling a 2024 Atlantis Blue Lotus Emira. Currently at ~5300 miles (will slowly increase as driven). Dreamed of owning the car when first announced, placed a deposit, test drove the car that toured the US, had to pull the deposit cause of escrow by the time my build slot came around. Purchased an MX5 to hold me over. Had the opportunity to purchase an Emira recently and did so. Ended up enjoying the Miata more so was planning to enjoy the Emira for a few... Read more

Hi all, I just wanted to share with you some exterior badges I've had made up and a dashboard badge. Full credit goes to @Eagle7 for his design. When he posted it up on the forum, I was taken with it. Also MASSIVE thank you to @675430VME for getting them sorted for me!! Can't wait to get them!!

Last year I had Surman make luggage for my Emira in Black leather with Alcantara and yellow piping. To say these bags are well made is an understatement!! These are top notch, highest quality. I've used the duffel bag 1 time, otherwise the balance of the luggage is as new in their original packaging. I'm selling because I just won't use them as I had intended and they should go to a good home vs. sit in my basement. I paid $1,400 USD at the time PLUS another $250 in import duties... Read more

A question for those in the U.S. who are soon (starting November) to take delivery of their First Edition Emiras. I am researching insurance companies and soliciting policies through an independent agency with many companies available to them. The agent wrote a quote for me, to include homeowner, umbrella and all vehicles in the home with the future addition of an Emira. She had noted that the insurance company we are going with will NOT insure Lotus, and that it would have to be a stand... Read more
