Sadly not this time.

Has anyone bought a car with approved used warranty from the UK Lotus Dealership network? Just wondering what certification or other evidence should be received? Is there a central database of warranty status, or is something held locally at dealers? Cheers

So after a couple of days of very enjoyable hot weather testing I am fairly certain it's an icing issue. If I turn off the AC for a few minutes every 20 mins or so to prevent icing becoming an issue the air flow stays ice cold throughout. A 3-hour drive yesterday confirmed this.

Icing up does seem to be the leading candidate. Especially following the additional pool of liquid (I think water) I've just found this evening. Do you know what the fix would be for that?

Hi fellow V6 owners. I'm not sure if I have an issue or if I just need to manage my expectations. At the start of a journey the aircon temperature is cold, and as expected for a normally functioning unit (based on my experiences with other cars). After about 30 mins the air temperature of the air coming through the vents is maybe cool, but definitely not cold - to the point where I'm questioning if AC is even on. I know it's been a hot day but I thought the HVAC on the recent models was much improved? Am I expecting too much from the aircon in the car? It seems that if I turn it off for a few moments the air gets colder again before returning to "is it even on?" status. Furthermore, on taking it out of the garage for a spin this afternoon there was a small pool of liquid that I've not seen before. I've checked again this evening and there is a big wet spot by the driver's side front wheel. EDIT: Further googling suggests the symptoms point to the unit icing up and blocking flow of cold air... It's under warranty so I'm sure it'll be sorted.

Unsold- it was at £51k with 45 min left when I looked.

I'll be there, my car has been invited to the indoor arena VIP area, maybe a chance to park up next to the Benetton for a picture!

Did you find anywhere? I need to get my geo setup done

Lovely to see some cracking cars and meet some very friendly and welcoming people at the SW meet yesterday 😊 . Including my 390 FE's elder (but no less stunning) sister.

It's just a personal preference - unless I have explicit permission I avoid sharing identifiable information on the internet. I know what the latest mass data scraping tools are capable of and I don't want to feed the machine!

And a fair few more at a well attended meet last night

A pair of Exige meeting up in the South West

Weather is looking ok this evening, hope to see you there

I've driven pre- and post- Sport 350/380/410 era cars and happy to confirm the gear linkage and shifting is much improved in the latter model range and an absolute pleasure to shift.

Thanks both, that's reassuring. Much more inclusive and agreeable than the Porsche Owners club . I'll try to pop along on Thursday if I can get an evening pass from the family.
