Just preparing anyone looking for a 2006 in yellow with 5000 miles, I will be selling in March April next year time when it gets its MOT and service done. Any interested parties drop me a PM. Lovely condition car just not my cup of tea. Bought last March from Millwood, fitted with new leather seats and drivers side lowered floor. Cheers Si

Quoting elan_fan: I wouldn't, presuming you run synthetic oil and are probably changing it well before its life. Your engine will be like new inside. That snake oil is to remove carbon deposits on older less cosseted engines and needs to be thoroughly washed out with more oil.

Is it a good idea to use an engine flush before changing the oil in a CSR? http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_157187_categoryId_255221_langId_-1?cm_sp=Intelligent_Offer-_-Product_Details_Zone_1-_-Blank&iozone=PDPz1

Quoting classic1952: For what it's worth, I have just finished changing my discs. My 2009 Roadsport has the discs attached by socket head bolts, making them really easy to change. Could this be a worthwhile upgrade for older cars?On the csr they are Allen headed bolts tho i have decided to paint the rusty centres Not the bolts.

Quoting Stationary M25 Traveller: Use some PlusGas on the visible ends of the bolt threads (once you have removed the hubs) for a day or so to help break the corrosion. Assume you are ok with removing the caliper (keep hose attached) and then hub from upright ? It all seems a bit of a caffuffle not to mention a pulava, as the discs are fine i think i'll just do what you mentioned and paint the discs insitue using hammerite.

These discs look very good and they seem to think you dont need any high temp powder. Though doing the whole disc and skimming is not necessary, only masking is needed. here Tho my original question was about the procedure of removal of the discs. Edited by - sicsr on 30 Sep 2012 22:28:52

Quoting RH7 Lowflyer: Hi, My second opinion is why would you want to powder coat your brake discs?? RH7 Doh! You know the bit in the middle that always goes rusty on any car, yes, well that's what i want to powder coat in shiney gloss yellow. Get it?

Can anyone give me a quick run through of the procedure for taking off the front (and rear if different) on the csr260 please. I think i know what to do but would like a second opinion before i start. I'm going to have them powder coated. Cheers Si

Thanks

Is Caterham yellow the same as any other make of car that can be bought from Halfords or purely Caterhams? Edited by - sicsr on 15 Aug 2012 17:48:14

As my cars 6 years old i want to do the big service changing all lubricants. Do you use all the CC products or are there any others that you recommend for: Engine oil Comma 5-50 Gear oil EP80 Diff oil EP90 Comma dot 4 Comma x-stream red and what is used for wheel bearing greace? Anything else you can think needs doing please let me know. Cheers
