Yes, interested.

Hi Alex Only just read this. Someone going to get a fabulous Caterham. Lucky them. I feel for you they become part of your DNA. All the best. Jon

I know it's not Caterham related, but I know that some of you also have motorcycles. My son needs two 3 ohm two plug ignition coil for his GSXR 400 GK76A Many thanks Jon

Can anyone recommend a company, or individual who could respray both rear wings, and also fit stone chip protector. In the West Midlands. Thanks Jon

Hi got one . Its never got wet. As new condition. £50.00 plus postage if you want it. Best regards Jon

Hi, I’ve got a 1.4 K series. Every now and then regardless of the engine being cold or hot the starter motor plays up. When I press the start button, it just makes a whining noise. If I turn the ignition switched off get out and and rock the Caterham back and forth in gear. Then then get back in press the starter button with the ignition on, the engine will start normally. It has got a lightened flywheel fitted and covered about 4K miles from new. Any advise would be appreciated. Regards Jon

Hi Jonathan, Road but do like to give it some stick !

For sale GBS Zero Half Hood (Standard Chassis) Softbits As new never been wet. £150 plus postage Jon

Some advice please I’m using Castrol Edge TITANIUM 5W-40 fully synthetic in my 1.4 K engine. Should I be using semi synthetic oil instead of Fully ? Thanks Jon

Newbie to other newbie’s K series. Good week for the Caterham, I’m so impressed with the knowledge and technical expertise I’ve encountered so far. Thank goodness for word-of-mouth and the forums. Following on from DVA installing the K01 kit which took the Caterham to another level in performance. And Nick Potter converting the wheels from 14” to 13” . 6” Fronts and 8” rear Avon ZZS tyre's which has improved the handling by a phenomenal margin. 19 March New Powerspeed 4-2-1 exhaust fitted by Fast Road Conversions group buy excellent job very impressed with the exhaust, and the installation. They did a first class job. Sounds wonderful and mid-range torque was much improved. 20th March. Re-mapped by Kmaps Mark, did a fantastic job engine running so much smoother. And performance much improved again! Can highly recommend. Worth every penny. Mark, also recommended that I use higher–octane fuel example Shell V-power in future. Booked in again with DVApower 24th March to have. New oil pressure sender, removal of foam sump baffle and Dave’s modified sump gasket fitted. With oil changed to Castrol Edge full synthetic 5W/40 and a new oil filter. Also new K&N air filter fitted. New 4 point Caterham harness fitted by Nick Potter. JCB

Probably being over cautious got the standard plastic dashboard. Want to install a time clock in the dash. Has anyone successfully done this? And if so best why to cut the 52mm hole out. Thanks JCB

Tim, Thank you for the reassurance. My wife and I are in the process of planning a trip from Calais to Lake Como. In Late May early June for 8-10 days. Route planning in progress, but want to try the car out on the Oberalpstasse & the Via Alpsu on route. Also need to find out about a tag, for automatic payment of motorway tolls and if the tag will work in the Caterham being so low and having a flat window screen. But going to do my best to avoid the motorways if possible My insurance is due for renewal in May. So going to make sure we have full European breakdown cover. Jon

Hi Alex Happy new year. Thank you for the response. Hoping to arrange fitting in February. In the process of getting the Caterham booked in with Dave Andrews. Having oil and filter changed and getting rid of the foam sump baffle evidently these can break up and cause engine failure. Just thought I'd let you know in case you weren't aware. I wrote to Dave. I understand that you do a modification that does away with the sump foam baffle, which I understand from the forums can break up and cause engine failure. Dave's response. Yes the foam needs to go and a modified sump gasket needs to be fitted. I keep the gaskets in stock. Rgds Dave

Hi Dave, I’m a newbie got the Caterham in May last year my wife and I toured the west coast of Ireland in June. We are both keen on going to Europe but I’m apprehensive about having no support on my first visit with the Car. Can you please let me have the dates to book ferries and hotel’s, as this might be an option for us. Or advise if someone has to drop out Best regards Jon
