Hi 

I have 4 with Avon cr500 tyres

Located in Hertfordshire if that’s any good?

Christian

Thanks for the feedback.

Do you know where to obtain the correct Caliper as caterham appear to be out of stock?

is it just a standard Sierra rear Caliper? Are there any aftermarket upgrades worth considering?

Hi

One of my rear calipers has a leak at the piston (From reading the forum this looks to be a fairly common fault as some older 2009 calipers were poorly reconditioned parts), so I am going to replace both and change the solid brake lines to flexible lines.

Are these the correct calipers?

Also, are these the correct right and left parts from Caterham.

Thanks to anyone that can offer advice.

Problem solved and a little Caterham lesson learned. If in doubt get the multimeter out!

The original fault was due to a faulty toggle dip switch, a replacement was installed which also was faulty, third switch lucky after testing for continuity has solved the problem.

I probably could have saved some time by checking the first replacement and not assumed that because it was new it would work!

Thanks for all your help chaps, most appreciated.

I can see the light! 

I crack the multimeter out and test the switch, old and new. It certainly is baffling.

It’s MOT time

I just wanted to check the correct function of the head lights on my caterham sigma 125. Can someone confirm that this is correct

Headlight rocker position 0 = Headlights off

headlight rocker position 1 = side lights on

headlight rocker position 2 = headlights on Dipped

The when the dip toggle is down = full beam.

what I have at the moment is when dip toggle is down = Back to side lights?

the flash toggle still gives full beam flash and the blue light in the tacho illuminates 

I have replaced the fuses, the dip toggle and the relay. But to no avail?

I have the wiring diagram, but still can’t trace the issue. Before I take it to an auto electrician I thought I would see if anyone else had come across a similar issue. I have also search blatchat but cannot find a resolution to the same fault.

Thanks in anticipation

Thanks, looking forward to the next meet up

Hi 

I think that you spotted me. I was giving my neighbor a run out in the car after returning from the Herts Sunday meet at Rushden

I was traveling in the opposite direction in an aluminium and black 7 and gave you a wave.

Hi Jonathan 

Thanks for your prompt reply.

I have the wiring diagram thanks, I will crack the multi meter out. There has been no work near by, so may just be the relay or dodgy switch, are these both susceptible to failing?

Hi

I wonder if any members may be able to shed some light in this issue.

Headlight rocker switch to the first position, side light on and working

Headlight rocker switch to the second position, dipped beam on and working.

Main beam flash switch working.

Main beam latching switch when engaged switches headlight dipped beam back to just side lights? - I have changed this switch for a new one in case it was a faulty switch, which has not resolved the problem.

I have checked the fuses which are all fine.

Any other suggestion would be welcome, the model is a sigma roadsport if this help.
