  1. We are just at the end of a 125 Roadsport build and trying to turn he engine over for the first time. The solenoid seems to engage and disengage rapidly (rapid on and off sequence) without turning the starter motor. Grateful for any wisdom.....

     

  2. Quoting Pugwash: 
    When I built mine Caterham did a starter pack containing all the oils and fluids that were needed to get it going. Needs to be ordered separately. Not sure why they don't include it with the kit as it was extra cost.

     

     

    Ah yes, all the fluid packs are out of stock at the moment though. There is not a dedicated 160 fluid pack either. Nearer the time I'll enquire with Caterham.

  3. Hello folks,

     

    I wonder if there are many others waiting for 160s to arrive. I expect mine to arrive in October (hopefully)

     

    I'd welcome any advice about building. I have some knowledge, but I would class myself firmly in the novice category.

     

    First question. I hear Amourfend is worth considering. It looks like it is about £600 for rear wheel arches dogleg, sides and nose. (This includes l7c discount and it is applied in the caterham factory). Any advice?

     

    Second question. Caterham recommend the following fluids in the build manual:

     

    Engine oil

    Shell Helix Ultra AVL 5W-30

     

    Gearbox oil

    Shell Spirax S4 AT 75W/90

     

    Differential

    Shell Spirax S3 AX 80W/90

     

    Brake fluid

    Comma DOT4

     

    Engine coolant

    Comma Xstream red anti-freeze

     

    Any comments about this would be welcome. Where is a good place to order them Opie Oils? I wonder if some of these oils have been replaced by newer versions as I can't seem to find them using searches.
