Tom

you have a pm

Malcolm

I have a brand new and still boxed sump for the current Sigma Engine, which I bought from Caterham.

As I am now between cars, its available at half price. Its quite bulky so the buyer should consider collection. I am in North Herts

Hi

I need to resurrect this because I am interested in being able to set the Cams .

Previous replies suggested the Haynes manual will not cover this.

Can anybody advise whether there are suitable instructions, or setting tools that will help with this?

Thanks

Malcolm

but not in kent

Hi

I finished build of my 310S last July 2018, though it is an SV . Feel free to ask questions. I will help if I can

Malcolm

should say Left hand side Front wheel

Hi

My new 310s SV has developed a rattle from the Left hand Side wheel which occurs when that wheel is disturbed eg going over bumps as the car is driven. If I do the same with my foot lightly on the brake pedal there is no rattle.

At the weekend I investigated this and found nothing loose until I removed the wheel, then I noticed one of the brake pad retaining pins was partly disengaged because the R clip used to retain it was missing.

I don't recall not fitting this and the car has been to Caterham for Post Build check and IVA test, and since done 2500 miles. Anyway now problems have resulted

So now I have pushed the pin back through and fitted the R Clip, but the rattle is still there.

I think it is the pads which are rattling, but only on the LHS.

Any ideas to confirm the cause and fix the problem would be appreciated.

Thanks

Malcolm

Ive just checked the spark plugs and can confirm they are

 NGK LTR7IX-11 (6510) - Iridium IX Spark Plug / Sparkplug - Taper Cut Ground Electrode 

Ive checked the gap which is 1.0 mm

Malcolm

Hi

thanks for the replies, I can check spark plugs and will advise.

i am happy to document the process when I do it but it won’t be very soon. My car is just 2 months old and 2000 miles. I am just planning ahead 

cheers

Malcolm

ok thanks

Is there anything I need to be wary of that Caterham have done which is not in the manual.

I thought they had modified cams/timing?

thanks

Malcolm

Can anyone tell me which Haynes manual is best for service and maintenance of this Ford engine.

i also want to be able to do timing belt changes myself, will this manual provide enough info

much appreciated

Malcolm

Hi

If it was Orange and Black pack SV, it was probably mine.

Sorry I was a bit slow responding.

Thanks
