I'm in Daventry, Northamptonshire. Are you nearish?

Wouldn't mind the goggles if still available. Thanks

I have a single seater experience at Silverstone for next Saturday 4th March at 2.30 which I can't make. It cost £260 so would half price £130 sound fair? If anyone's interested. Thanks

Hi Brian. You are welcome to come and have a look tomorrow but there are two others who got in touch first who have asked for more photos, which I'll send tomorrow. Cheers

I need a very quick sale of my '93 supersprint. Offers around £7k but it needs to go this week which is why the low price. Car is q plate, xflow, live axle in pretty good condition. No rust anywhere, chassis spot on just odd age mark on ally body. Engine just been rebuilt to true 1700 with 83.5mm forged pistons, ARP bolts, duplex chain, balanced bottom end, new bearings, new larger valves, steel rocker posts, new oil seals, gaskets etc. Runs on megajolt ignition, twin 40's cleaned, new gaskets, balanced and timed up. Runs really nice. Has brooklands aeroscreen but included is windscreen along with doors, roll bar and hood. I know asking alot to try to sell in just a few days and at this time of year but worth a try. Car is in Hinckley. Have all paperwork and coupe of folders of history plus build manual. Will try to add photo below. Thanks

Hi. I'm looking for the old style grille which I think has the 3 vertical spokes and 7 horizontal, with no number or anything. For my 93 xflow supersprint which currently has the more modern number 7 grille. Thanks

If you don't go for it Gordon let me know, I'm also after the same. Cheers

Recently had the same problem on my xflow. Ended up getting the copper gaskets but was still leaking. Checked and the faces on the headers were pretty bad and causing the problem so make sure they're nice and flat.

Well I'm a bit confused but happier now. We had two heavy rain storms recently here that I was driving in. First one stopped the judder but then next day when dry the judder returned. Second storm again stopped the judder, and after 3 dry days driving since judder hasn't returned. I was all set to strip the brakes today to look but I shall leave for now and see if it returns, hopefully not. Thanks for responses. Not sure why the rain would cure it but hey ho.

As far as I know no mods to the head. Certainly when I took mine off there was no hardened exhaust seats. Have always used super unleaded with additives on xflow engines without hardened seats.

Yeah, I should say the only reason I didn't was that the disc and pads on the other side are only a year ish old and not done many miles. For some reason, possibly a sticking caliper, the disc and pads on one side wore much quicker than the other.

Hi. This is on my everyday car, not the Caterham, but thought I'd ask people's opinions. I recently had to replace a rear wheel bearing. At the same time I put on a new disc as old looked very worn and replaced the caliper, with pads, for almost new, second hand but in very good condition. Since, after driving a few minutes I'm getting bad brake judder through the pedals and can hear/feel it. I've checked the disc with a gauge and doesn't seem warped. I disconnected abs but still the same. Funny thing is I've been caught out in heavy rain storms last couple of days and almost straight away my brakes return back to normal, they seem to like being wet. Any suggestion? Could it be because I only replaced the disc and pads on one side, out of balance?? Thanks

Hi. I've rebuilt my 1700 xflow with new accralite forged pistons. It's got a bit of a tapping, clackety sound most prevalent on idle. I understand with forged pistons they're slightly more undersize as they expand more when hot. Noise is still the same after 15/20 mins warming up. Do you think it's just the way the pistons are, nowt to worry about? Or could it be something else? I've checked and rechecked valve clearances, no exhaust or inlet leaks, that I can see/feel. Cheers. I've taken a video but can't see how to add to message.

Cheers Alan. I've found a budget tyre in my size pretty cheap so maybe best to get that so they're all the same.
