neckstrap,

I had a struggle and managed to get updated instructions faxed to me from Lotus as follows:

Fob programming instructions are as follows (you need to have the security code for this procedure!!!):

Programming Additional Transmitter Fobs
Two transmitter fobs are provided with the new car. If one transmitter is lost or damaged, a replacement should be obtained immediately from your dealer, and programmed to the car alarm controller using a functioning transmitter fob and the system owner’s unique Personal Identification Number (PIN).
Up to 4 transmitter fobs can be matched with the alarm system, but all fobs must collectively undergo the single programming operation:

a). Before programming the transmitters, the PIN should first be verified. If the PIN is incorrect and a working fob is prepared for reprogramming, all fobs may be disabled. To verify the PIN;
With the car immobilised (tell tale flashing), follow steps (3i) to (3iii) below (ie. do not prepare any fobs). If the PIN is correct, the tell tale should be extinguished, and the system mobilised. If not, the PIN is incorrect.
b). Having verified the PIN as above, proceed as follows:

1. Press, simultaneously, both buttons on a transmitter fob until the fob tell tale stops flashing (approx. 10 seconds). On release of the buttons, the fob tell tale will light.
2. Repeat operation (1) for ALL the transmitter fobs required to operate the system.
3. If the system is immobilised (security tell tale flashing):
(i) Turn the ignition on and off 3 times within 7 seconds; the security tell tale in the tachometer will light for 3 seconds.
(ii) Enter the PIN: Immediately the tell tale goes out, switch ON the ignition and count the number of security tell tale flashes until equal to the first number of the PIN, then turn the ignition OFF, then back ON again.
(iii) Repeat operation (ii) for the remaining 3 digits of the PIN, remembering to tum the ignition OFF and back ON after each code number.
Note: If at any time a mistake is made when entering the PIN, turn the ignition OFF for 10 seconds and recommence entering the PIN.
(iv). If the PIN is correct, the security tell tale will be out. Carry on with step 4.
4. With the system mobilised (security tell tale out):
(i) Turn the ignition on and off 3 times within 7 seconds; the security tell tale in the tachometer will light for 3 seconds.
(ii) Enter the PIN: Immediately the tell tale goes out, switch ON the ignition and count the number of security tell tale flashes until equal to the first number of the PIN, then turn the ignition OFF, then back ON again.
(iii) Repeat operation (ii) for the remaining 3 digits of the PIN, remembering to turn the ignition OFF and back ON after each code number.
Note: If at any time a mistake is made when entering the PIN, turn the ignition OFF for 10 seconds and recommence entering the PIN.
5. After finishing step (4) with the ignition on, within 7 seconds, press once the large button of each transmitter fob.
6. Turn off the ignition.
7. Test operation of each transmitter fob.


Hope this helps!
