    Hi where did you get the glass from ive seen it on the caterham website for £95 but not for heated
  3. gavingraysonr300
    Its got a couple of chips in it but very small stone chips on it which make visibility a bit hard in the sun but with me having the car refreshed was thinking of doing the screen as well but the heated screen is quite expensive at sevens and classics. Ive looked on caterham and just the glass is £95 which is not bad might see if i can get that sent to them and fitted what do you think how hard is it to fit my self ?

    Hi has anybody replaced there screen themselves how hard is it to do ? also was thinking of getting tuffened glass cut the same and having the film put on the inside to make it laminated like they do on rally cars or if possible getting a laminate cut.

    Hi I've got a cracked lens on my 2003 car was thinking of changing my headlights to the smaller ones where's the best place to get them ? I can see they are on caterham sight for £120 each. How easy are they to change is it just unbolt and bolt the new one on or do you have to change the supports as well to make them lower ? Plus one of my indicator holders is broken as well have they changed ?

    Hi everyone who gave me advise on my overheating after changing my water pump and hoses. I drilled the stat put it back together and it still overheated so stat not opening still. Jacked up the front end still nothing looking at the stat hosing decided to jack the back end up and really masarged big pipe coming off the stat housing got some bubbles and is running back as normal now great. Im just a bit worried about all the overheating will it have damaged the engine did turn it off as soon as it started but i know the k engine dosnt like overheating. What will be the tell tale signs and would it be straight away if there was damage it is running fine but only had short runs so far.

    Hi i took delivery today of my new thermostat which has already been drilled with a pin through it. Have they started drilling them now and do i just need to break out the pin ? Ive sent a picture thanks. file:///Users/gavgrayson/Desktop/Photos%20Library.photoslibrary/Thumbnails/2016/01/20/20160120-195646/fbAeSMNdQbmBZWnd869O7A/thumb_IMG_1049_1024.jpg

    Thanks everyone for support will order bits and let you know what happens.

    Ok thanks do you know if i can split the thermostat housing in position or do i have to take the whole thing off and replace o ring ? When it is split into two what seals it back up is it a rubber on the thermostat or is it another o ring. The only reason why im asking if i can do it in position it was a real pig to get the bypass hose on as pipe for dry sump is right next to it and roller barrells.

    Fan is working when thermostat decides to open
  23. gavingraysonr300
    Ive no heater so its no the highest point unless i can prop the hose higher
  24. gavingraysonr300
    Thanks for advise i am going to drill the thermostat but i have no heater what do you think about me making this temporary bleed tee that i explained in my post. Taking the bypass hose off the rail putting a temporary tee piece in and a piece of hose to the rail then fill slowly once im full put thumbs over ends of rail and hose then quickly reconnect. I know its probably just as easy to leave a tee piece in but dont plan on draining it much after this.

    Its showing hot on the gauge think ive turned it off before its got to the stage of boiling out of the expansion tank. I roughly no how to drill it, was just going to get a new one anyway as they are not expensive. My concern is does the whole thermostat housing have to come of or can i split it in position ? Ive got roller barrels and it makes hard to access it i struggled to get the new bypass hose on nearly dislocating my thumb lol. Also if i have to remove the full housing it will need a new o ring which i could order ready. When you split the housing does the thermostat have a rubber seal on it or is it another o ring i will need to get ?
