    Thanks to all of you. I have it booked into PT Sports Maidenhead. Looks like it's a remap even though that makes it non standard. This car came as standard with a lightweight flywheel but I think the real problem is carburetion. It happens at tick over or almost any part of the rev range. I will let you know the result. O.G.

    I have a problem with my 360R Duratec (180 hp) when opening the throttle. There is a short lag before the power comes in. For those who remember carburetors, it would be like there is a problem with the accelerator pump. This happens from idle and during normal driving. Sometimes it is accompanied by a misfire or pop sound from the exhaust. Anybody, any ideas? If I require professional help, any suggestions? I live in the Heathrow area.

    I currently have a chat running titled "Limited Slip Diff backlash/slack" that you may find useful. Mine occurs in any gear when accelerating after overun or taking your foot of the accelerator quickly, maybe check this out. Sorry i have not got to the bottom of my problem yet and there has been plenty of history of this with BMW LSDs. Gordon Briggs

    Sorry, haven't been on about this recently, been out the country and other commitments. I Know - There is no more important commitment than "Your Caterham". Simple answer first, John, yes I can pull away without throttle, idle speed shows as 950. I am in the process of comparing this Backlash with other LSD cars. It would be nice to find the official "workshop" figures though. Elie I will try Phil. It's not so much clutch control. You just have to disconnect the drive when the revs drop below between about 2000 & 1700 as you slow down. Rob, long live "popping & banging". Gordon

    Thanks to those who have replied so far. Jonathan, thanks but the prop shaft is fine, I did check that. I live in the Heathrow area and plan to attend the "AWSOM" meets of my local area at which I will see if I can find someone with the same Diff. Elie & Scott, Yes your right the Diff is right by you left Buttock, not much chance of any noises being damped out. I am also concerned that this contributes to the quite severe Kangarooing I get especially in 2nd as I coast slowing down (at low engine revs). Anyway I will continue seeing if i can get the data. Thanks

    New as I am to Caterham driving, I have just put my home built kit 360R SV with a Limited Slip Diff on the road. Currently only 200 miles use since new. When driving, there is a fair sized "clonk" between accelerating and overrun. This is backed up when by jacking up the back end and hand turning the prop shaft or a drive shaft. There is what I consider, as an engineer, a fair amount of play. Is this just a part of Caterham's "basic ness" or do I have a problem? Is there some Tech data for backlash figures?
