Colin Grundy Posted June 26, 2002 Share Posted June 26, 2002 If this sounds ridiculous I apologise in advance, but I purchased a Parts CD from Caterham, and for the life of me I cant find any prices listed. Pointless without them really, now is it me being totally dense or is the CD 'without prices? I suppose I could ring them but its probably quicker on here.

BWJ777 Posted June 26, 2002 Share Posted June 26, 2002 That does sound bonkers! Thanks for the warning, will not bother getting one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveP Posted June 26, 2002 Share Posted June 26, 2002 Unless they have changed the CD, the prices appear when you put the items into your "shopping basket" facility. Or do as I did, and browse the CD where you will find them as text files, stick 'em in a spreadsheet and sort them by type. I now have a spreadsheet with each page being an area of the car. Never have to look at the CD again SteveP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ashaughnessy Posted June 26, 2002 Share Posted June 26, 2002 Does the Parts CD have every single part that Caterham have in their warehouse, or is it just selected bits? I'd like to get one but I don't think it would be worth getting unless it is absolutely comprehensive. Anthony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveP Posted June 26, 2002 Share Posted June 26, 2002 Not sure if it is totally comprehensive, perhaps worth checking that with Caterham, but to my eyes it certainly covers a lot from wings right down to hardware packs and gaskets for example. And across the years too. SteveP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Grundy Posted June 26, 2002 Author Share Posted June 26, 2002 The CD certainly contains most if not all of the parts available and is very cleverly put together and broken down into sections for both DeDion and Live axle variants. The rear axle pictures and front suspension pictures are particuarly useful for the build itself. Just as an aside, I hear from Tim at Dartford that a new build manual is being introduced in July and will contain Digital images of the sections as apposed to the previous drawn ones. So anyone giving Jean at Caterham a hard time trying to get their build manual prior to delivery may as well wait for the new manual to come out.

scooby dooby doo Posted June 27, 2002 Share Posted June 27, 2002 the cutaway diagram bits may be useful if you don't know what the part is called. Other than that the entire interface si ahuge pile of tosh! If you look through the CD in explorer you'll find two directories full of txt files (one for live axle and one for dedion) which have part number, name, and price. Best bet is to paste all these into Excel and then search for the part you want in Excel. Dave Hooper - dmch2@lineone.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
