If not already mentioned it is possible to change the CRB without full engine removal, it involves sliding the engine forward just enough to change the CRB. If I remember there is a guide here on the site. Although if not conclusive it’s the CRB worth checking clutch and other components via full engine removal.

Looks a good permanent fix aerobod, I have a similar vertical crack, preparing bonnet for paint and considering best solution. Has anyone welded from behind or is aluminium too thin?

In line with above message, worth putting the exhaust in desired position whilst supporting the engine under sump and then seeing how much adjustment can be achieved from engine and gearbox mounts, left/right up/down to see if you can clear chassis tube.

Hi, I have one, I will send you a message, Paul

I have a spare with the caterham logo if that helps?

Dom, sent you a PM.

Thanks for post and pictures, a bit pricey for me.

Yes thanks Nick, appreciate that, I checked with Darren and that one no longer available. I have got a quote from Oxted to make a new cover. Still on look out if anyone has a spare one complete. thanks again Nick for heads up Paul

Hello, Looking for Ideally a R400/420R duratec engine either a base engine or with ancillaries. Would also consider a R300/360R or standard Duratec engine. Anyone have one available, maybe following an upgrade for example. Regards Paul

Thanks Scott and John, I will do another fluid test but as you mentioned does lead towards rear oil seal.

Hello Looking for some guidance from those with experience. I have a fluid leak on a R400 Duratec, from the joint between engine and bellhousing. A small puddle. It only leaks when engine running. I have done the smell and texture test and I can eliminate gearbox oil so it’s either engine oil or clutch fluid. I have pressed the clutch pedal whilst engine not running plus checked sump line for leaks and can’t recreate leak so looking like rear engine seal? I have a known level now on clutch master cylinder so was looking to run the engine again and see if leak reappears and see if clutch fluid level drops just to confirm. Either way I understand it’s an engine out job. I just want to ascertain fluid type before removal. Any other considerations? Question is, any damage likely if I run the engine again if it might have a rear seal leaking, obviously keeping eye on fluid levels? many thanks Paul

Can I take these please

Hi Mick, interested in FIA bar, where are you located? Thanks Paul

Thanks for link BigCol Sorry should have been clearer in add, just looking for a basic engine, maybe supersport level.

Hi I am looking for a 1.6 or 1.8 K Series engine. If it has the Caterham wet sump all the better however base engine just fine. Doesn’t need to be from a Caterham but needs to be good. I would consider VVC version also. Anyone have a spare lurking in the garage/workshop? Maybe following an upgrade or a project not progressing. thanks Paul

I have swapped a few of the Clayton ‘7’ type heater matrix, the metal version on eBay link above fits plus there is also a plastic version that fits and is much cheaper.

Hi, I have one available, ok letting me know email address/contact and I can send photos? Regards Paul
