  1. Did my first (and only,so far) trackday last Autum at Anglesea and found it to be a friendly experience with little willy-waving and everyone just wanting to have fun. Not moving over when faster care are behind is about the only thing frowned upon and I didn't see anyone doing stupid stuff. I found watching Youtube videos in advance helpful in learning the track, so when I got there I had some idea which direction the next corner went. Simon and team are super helpful. I'm booked in again at Anglesea so maybe see you there. Many of the more experienced drivers trailer their car up and have full workshops and spare tyres etc, but many just drive up and track what you got. Depending where you come from, the drive up through Wales to Anglesea is all part of the fun.
  2. I've spoken with track organisers and they said yes we can stay Monday night, but need to leave sharpish Tuesday morning (ie. by 9am)
  3. Called the track today regarding camping and they said to call back at the end of the week as they werent sure yet. Will update when I hear more.
  4. I'm planning to camp at the circuit too. According to the website the gates aren't locked so you can rock up any time the night before. On the Tuesday they have a private event so we need to be gone by 9am if staying Monday night There appears to be a bar and cafe there now too (L7C Events page just mentions a burger van). I don't think you need to book, but will check next week. https://www.angleseycircuit.com/venue/information/spectator-guide/ has the camping info.
  5. I have put in a relay from friend's Caterham and that seems to have fixed it, so dodgy relay is primary suspect so have ordered up a new one. AkersB-S, horn works and connections on alternator are OK, but thanks for the suggestion. Thanks to all for their advice. Being a newbie to Caterhams and having to get the spanners out, it is very reassuring to have such a body of knowledgeable and helpful folk out there
  6. Working the hazard switch didn't help and relay is seated OK. Replacement of the relay seems a reasonable first step. Are the relays pretty standard, so any 3 pin 12v relay will work. The one fitted appears to be a Peugeot one! Then I'll take apart the hazard switch and clean that up and check earths on the lampholders.
  7. My indicators are only working intermittently and often just flash once and then stop. Both sides are affected. Sometimes I can flick the switch again and they work, but not often and sometimes they just work fine. Car is a 2006 kit Roadsport Superlight. I can't find a wiring diagram so if anyone has one that would be useful. Presumably it is a loose connection somewhere, but where? Any suggestions for troubleshooting will be most appreciated.
  8. Mine is an SV, so has a bit more space for the seat to move forwards. Being a short ar*e I need it all the way forwards to reach the gears!
  9. The seat adjustment lever has a lug that engages with holes on the side of the runner to lock it in place. However, in the position I want the seat, behind the hole is the bolt that goes through the floor holding the runners in place, and so the lug does not fully engage. It partially sits in the hole, but then a bump or rapid acceleration knocks it out and the seat lurches back to the next notch. So question is, can the runners themselves slide forward and back (loosen nuts underneath car and shunt them forward a couple of mm), or are there holes in the bottom of the runners that determine their location? I just need to move the runners so the bolt securing them isn't directly behind the hole for the seat adjustment level lug. Asking question first, as reading up on seats/runners I get lots of "there be dragons" and it seems to be a fiddly, tricky exercise.
