I experienced exactly the same issue, which prompted me to check the LSD, it had failed and required a refurb.

Hi Graham,
Can't help with the suspension setup but I'm also in Devon (work Exeter, Home Teignmouth), orange 420r, will keep an eye out for you

Hi McB,
Before you start spending a fortune, I recently changed my front pads to Mintex 11440, these were recommended/supplied by Simon Rogers and provided a significant improvement. I have a 420R with the uprated master cylinder but standard discs and calipers, i have DS2500 rear pads.
I was considering upgrading my calipers and discs prior to this change.
Hope this helps, Rob.

Wow,
What an amazing and helpful response from everyone from my first ever post on BC.
I have read them all and will be using the information to help make my decision. As I’m buying used there will always have to be compromises but my main objective will be to get the base car right, other minor things can be changed in time.
Thanks Jonathan for the offer on the build guide etc. I will be in touch once I have secured a car.
Thanks again
Rob

Thanks for all the reassuring comments and I have had a comment via pm about the wheels Garth, so will take that onboard.
Cheers Rob.

Thanks guys,
bringing the 420 in to the mix widens my options, hopefully I will find something soon.
Cheers Rob.

Hi Russ,
Thanks for your reply, I understand the potential for upgrading but I was more concerned about the reliability and just generally oil level checks with a dry sump. I have seen numerous posts about concerns with oil levels and how to check.
Cheers Rob

Hi Jonathan,
I new I would miss something out but it would be for touring, the odd track day and general drives around Devon, where I live.

Hi folks,
I have just joined the club as I’m searching for my first Caterham, after several years of dreaming about it.
My question is whether the dry sumped 420 is more hassle to live with regarding oil changes etc. compared with the 360 wet sump?
My ideal spec. is:
SV in Ballistic Orange
Duratec engine
5 speed box
Carbon dash and front wings
leather seats
15’’ wheels
Thanks Rob.
Buying a TIG welder

I brought one of these https://www.r-techwelding.co.uk/tig-welder-240v-ac-dc-160amp
This was based on their warranty and reviews, I've been really pleased with it and have the benefit of being able to weld aluminium.
