The car is still listed for some very frustrating reasons (mostly buyer related). If there's a private existing lotus owner that's off the forums I'd be happy to sell at a half decent discount to get it done. You're welcome to message me.

Unfortunately due to some health issues in the family, I'm no longer able to make real use of the car. So rather than looking longingly at it, I've decided to sell. With the hope being that I can look to buy again in a year or two when things are a bit more normal. It's at Hilton & Moss near me (https://hiltonandmoss.com/stock/details/2022-lotus-exige-420-sport-final-edition/590812). Please direct any questions their way (sorry, there's a lot going on at the moment!). I loved the car though and will be sad to lose it.

ok thanks Paul!

Do you get condensation in the cabin? I've taken it out for hours with air con but I think moisturise makes it into the cabin. On cold mornings it's on the back of windscreen.

That's good to hear. I might try some of the anti corrosion sprays...

Does your car sit in the rain? Mine is just on a drive and worried about the winter but don't want to spend track money on storage (or miss out on the odd drive). It looks very steamy in the cabin sometimes though and some wheel nuts already look oxidised. 😐

For anybody that comes across this in the future. I was connected by the front terminals but not well enough. Mechanic connected a power source (battery) to the front terminals which allowed me to unlock. Once connected to the oem plug in the boot it charged happily and I stopped crying.

I think I'm going to go ahead and get one of these. Can I double check - did you need to do anything to the wiring, or need any tools? If not this is a no brainer for me!

Appreciate this is an old thread but just back from holidays and dealing with the same issue. Trickle charger connected but won't go past the SAVE stage 😬. Any thoughts? The voltage was ok when we first got back but took a sudden dive.

Thanks Chris for organising and it was great to meet you all. Here's the Hilton & Moss event I mentioned if anybody is interested: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/cars-coffee-at-hilton-moss-registration-365898230457?aff=eemailordconf&utm_campaign=order_confirm&utm_medium=email&ref=eemailordconf&utm_source=eventbrite&utm_term=viewevent

I'll definitely try and get along although no food.

Thanks @ramjet - great community already. I went to Goodwood last week and, even though it was a tight fit with my brother on the trip, it was amazing fun to drive. Much more fun. I'm very glad I made the move.

So how many "clicks" is the full range of your rear ones?

So I just tried adjusting them correctly. The high speed adjustment at the back right only appears to have 10 clicks in it where back left has more like 13. Anybody else seen this kind of thing?

Thank you so much! I can't find confident figures on what the stock exhaust is like. I think maybe 103/105 static I've seen and maybe even similar drive by?! Also. What map is this? Looks quite useful anyway.

Thanks for this thread. I had a mechanic at the dealership explain to me that the two dials on the reservoir were adjuster and lock nut! So low speed is currently set to rock hard. Explains why pot holes break my wrists when moving slowly 😀.

Thanks! Could I get away with snetteron too? 105 static then maybe lift? 🤷‍♂️

So. Just before I work out what I'm selling to pay for the lotus track exhaust. Is there anywhere I can track the car in the UK with a standard 420 exhaust? I don't mind lifting so I can at least do one session.

Indeed there is. Thanks for that!

You mean the one I linked to? Yes I think so, it wasn't the specific cover but the site I was highlighting. Good point in general though, I should check in more detail on the bodywork.

Ah exactly thanks. I literally just found these based on the terminology https://divinehandcraft.co.uk/products/front-clam-fixing-paint-protection-decal-lotus-elise-exige-s1 Thanks!

Although good idea for a search term!

That would work but what I've seen is small black ones that I figured I could do DIY.

Hi all I've seen some kind of black stickers that protect the rear wheel arches from debris. I can't seem to find anything when I Google, maybe because I'm using the wrong words. Any ideas where I might get them and if they're a good idea? Thanks!

Yes it seems unfortunate that between the well worded post is some fairly negative and also rather short sighted (forums, eh) commentary.
