Now I’ve realised where it is, guessing the airbox on the car is going to make access doubly difficult! May be a longer job for the weekend or when I have a few days off!

Thanks SM25T ​Will look to find the Low Flying article too - am guessing back issues on the club site? Best regards and many thanks

Many thanks Revilla It’s a K series, 1.8 with a VHPD head I’ll have a look at the article and have to look to see where the thermostat is and modify as you suggest in case that’s the issue Appreciate your help

Recently bought a 7 and one little foible is that the temp gauge (a Racetech unit) once its up to temperature wanders around between 75 and 85 degree. Will go up to 85, then quite quickly drop to 75 and after 20 seconds or so, go back up to 85 in another 10 seconds or so. Whole cycle takes 30-35 seconds and happens pretty much continually. Car doesn't seem to run hot - fan kicks in at about 90 if stationary or driving slowly (10mph down the street to the house & parking up occasionally), so potentially a non-issue. Not sure if the car has a thermostat to be honest. I have nothing other than my own curiosity/lack of knowledge making me ask the question Just after thoughts/experience/knowledge as to whether its not worth worrying about, a potential gauge issue, a sender unit issue (though no idea where it is) or something potentially that needs further digging? Thanks in advance Paul

That was me - both me and my lad were well wrapped up as not the warmest of days - but dry and bright. Plus...........I got to drive through the Tyne Tunnel which is something I highly recommend in a noisy Caterham! Don't mind admitting though, the drive back from Newcastle to home in Teeside (50 odd miles) at 8pm at night was starting to get very chilly and I almost even considered putting a coat on! Thanks for my first ever "spotted" Tim! As a new member to the club (albeit my 2nd Caterham) I look forward to many more in years to come Paul
