There is small print to say specs can change… happened when I bought my Exige. Carbon bits missing etc. typical Lotus.
Out of interest bumped into a guy on my way home from Classic LeMans. He was running an RRR dash, to me it looked far far far better than the AIM. Not sure on the full feature set but much clearer to look at and you can customise it.
cheers
”Lights on buzzer” anyone? This is a pretty basic function that should, but does not work….. doh!
-
Was there ever a fix for the “left my lights on” buzzer? As there is no buzzer on mine if I get out of the car and I’ve left them on.
cheers

Reuse you gas struts like I did… see here. Really easy and a much much better solution.
go to page 2 for all the details how to do it…

That’s interesting as I had bought a Wi-Fi camera, but before AIM, that linked to my iPhone. I could never get the signal to function properly due to all the steel and also it wasn’t a quality device. But that’s, that’s interesting

Mine on my Elise. Been on for two years now and no problems so far.
Which camera did you buy?
cheers

I’ve fitted the wireless camera module to the rear of the dash.
I’m ready then for if/when they activate it.
I’ve also dropped the Aftersales director an email at Lotus.
We need to convince them that they owe it to us to develop the features we bought the cars for!
Where do you mount the actual camera?
cheers

Hi,
check out the thread.
I made a set for one guy until his originals rocked up, really easy if you have a template and some 2mm aluminium.cheers
-
It’s oxidisation…. Common on aluminium, usually when it has been wet.
Try scotchbrite pad and maybe some metal polish. But it will come back.
cheers
-
Yep, so much potential….
-
Still nothing on a more realistic rev range either 😖

I did plan to use the gas struts but I couldn’t get a rivnut tool in position.
I’ve since bought the boot stay but haven’t fitted it yet.You don’t need a special tool. A bolt with two nuts will work. Lots of videos on utube.

I'm sure they said that NATO represents 50% of the world's economy and Russia 2%. He'd be a bit of a dick trying to attack NATO, it won't end well for Russia.
1,700 people arrested in Moscow yesterday from the protesters, this isn't a popular war in his home country.
That’s 1.21*10^-5 percent of the population

MSAR… ask for Malcolm. Tell him Mark put you on to it.

There is a new bar coming out for Exige’s with the carbon seats. I’ve had one on order for three months. Hopefully will rock up in a month or so. This gets around the eyelet issue and properly located the harness straps.
cheers

Mine was delivered with faulty brakes, and an on going issue with leaks whenever it rains, meaning I can't leave it outside without a cover or the doors soak up water. It's been to a main dealer who has reported 'well it might be bad door seals but we don't really know, but no new parts are available and we don't know when they will be so it's going to get damp over winter'.
It appears people have had cars and no issues, but dealing with issues is an absolute pain, dealers are miles away and don't actually seem to know what they're doing, then parts arn't available, and Lotus generally don't seem to care unless you're an 'influencer'. I honestly can't wait to get rid of mine - not because it's a fundamentally bad car, just the thought that it's not quite working and if anything more goes wrong it will be a lot of ball ache to fix.
sorry to hear you pain… Dave is correct about adjustment.
Your dealer has probably done this, but there are two adjusting screws that you can see with the door open (pretty certain you can see it) that alters the angle of the window. Screw it one way and it applies more pressure to the seal.this clip shows you how, you have nothing to lose I guess.
cheers
ps you should try Oakmere always been fantastic with me.

Does it have a heavy clutch?

My 2p worth...
If you asked the ordinary joe in the street what defines a sports car, I guarantee (as well as I can guarantee anything) that one of the things he will mention is, it must be a drophead.
If its not a drophead, its not a sports car......IMHO
If its not a drophead, its a GT car....
I now await the flaming fires of hell....... 👹

I bought my daughter an S2 111S and it’s THE best lotus I have ever driven. £ for £ just incredible, much more fun than my Exige, far superior to my Elan and better than any Europa I have driven. Just a stunning car ❤️❤️

I'm flabbergasted (yes, flabbergasted) that no-one on here had placed a deposit since the end of July
Well I guess people might be waiting for the cup versions to appear. Lotus have form for this…

Nah, gearbox temp does not work…
I don’t want to say too much but I don’t really feel the product has been “supported” in the way it should. I got taken in by all the hype pre launch, but on reflection The original dash is best. At least you can see the shift lights and indicators if you are tall and the lights warnings buzzer works as it should. buggy, an interesting phrase you use… good luck

If you have the ODB2 module switched off it won’t read. It’s also interesting to know that if this ODB module is on the the Lotus Dealer Software won’t work. So when you get a service turn it off.

You can get the front and rear clams “bulked”… this means all done from one piece, with the odd cut so no lines BUT the detailed need still be at the top of his game.
for example expel has top and bottom sections on the front wing with a join along the top of the wing. Will look ok for a while until the joins get filled in with residue from driving, then it looks awful.
I have Feynlab self heal plus coating where there is no PPF, abs it’s excellent. Just pour on wash water and all wash marks come out, fantastic stuff.
Mine is PPF’d at the front, front hatch, roof, rear deck, spoiler, sills and rocker panels. I forgot about at the rear behind the wheels, that’s a good shout.
some links…
look under pre cut kits and you will see what I mean…cheers

S3 Elan Window
in Classic Elan
Posted
Take the panel off and check you have 12volts going to the motor. The window won’t move due to gearing in the motor.
cheers
