Thanks Paul still in France at the moment back Thursday. I’ll await your PM. cheers Chris

Front wing required for a CSR after minor prang on the Laon jaunt. Nearside aero style wing. Thought someone might have an odd one kicking about.

Got these off Amazon and being open hooks much easier to put on. RFX FXES 20090 55SV Stainless Exhaust Springs Universal Pair, Silver, 90 mm

Tim Purslow near Hook is on the ball but 30 miles away.

Order of Weardale/20mph section/3rd Class.

Thanks for the info from all. Any thoughts on reassembling the exhaust fit dry or some high temp sealer?
-
Saved ! my farmer neighbour arrived with some logs and between us we got the spring off with a bit of para cord. Bottom spring looked a bit tired so got a couple of new ones on order.
-
Thanks for the suggestions after careful inspection I noticed the springs have tabs that when pressed allow a bit more 'stretch'. The top one came off without trouble but the bottom one battered by years of road grit isn't cooperating. I think the string method will have to be attempted as rhauri comments the spring loops are narrow.
-
Just altering the exhaust on my R400d and was wondering if anybody had any tips for getting the spring retainers off. My first thoughts were para cord to heave on but any other ideas. Too strong for me to remove by finger power ! Thanks

If you have any water marks on the dash WD40 is effective at removing them.

Blue I had exactly the same problem with the hazard warning switch on the day of the MOT as you say a lack of use and a prehistoric switch didn't help! A few rapid on off's got it working! Got a spare from Redline for a tenner.
-
Just been out and had a fiddle about but all seems ok. My relay board is vertical Roger and the indicator relay is lowest or closest to the floor. Blue told me his board is horizontal but his is a much later car than mine. I'm going up to the Jim Clark event at weekend so we'll see if the new relay does the job. As you say the JAL version has one extra blade. I notice JAL is supplying a different relay from the original RDX one. Have you received the route book for Laon? C
-
Thanks Jonathan I had that information but alas it is wrong for my car 4 and 5 are transposed. Thanks also to Blue up near Aberdeen who warned me of this. Replaced the original relay with a JAL one and things seem to be back to normal.
-
Trying to find which relay is for indicators. I can see 5 relays the ones at each end of the block being longer than the 3 inner ones. Any clues as nothing is clicking so I'm assuming the relay is kaput and the 10a indicator fuse is intact. Thanks

I did about 400 miles with a rebuilt Duratec before changing.

I wondered what had happened to him. Mystery solved.

Thanks I've got a spare coming from Redline needless to say an MOT is looming!
-
Thanks both, the CSR switch location on the tunnel certainly attracts gunge Simon. I suppose lack of use doesn't help.
-
Think I have a dud hazard warning switch on the CSR. Would I be right in thinking the switch is the same as the dashboard mounting ones on S3/SV cars. Car is a 2006 model. Thanks

My local quarry will weigh a vehicle for a couple of quid donation to charity but you have to be careful with temporary/mobile weighbridges as the ramps can be steep.

I use the 3M cylindrical disposable type.

Rather sad that CC supplied you with a part they knew wouldn't fit Nigel just return it as not fit for purpose.
