  1. And I've fitted mine. Bloody brilliant improvement and product quality is superb. Thanks for the great service.
  2. Mirrors - used and in perfect condition £50.00 plus pp (tba) or if easier, pick up from Canterbury Cheers Nigel
  3. Got friends in Barnet so no problem picking up if we can agree something. Pics?
  4. The last of the items on my tidy up list. Anyone got a decent pair going - perhaps you're contemplating tillets and this could help finance them!
  5. I'm just removing a full set (passenger and driver side) but won't be fully out of the car until 22 August. Seat bolts have been damaged underneath so couldn't get them out myself. GP Sevens removing them on that date.A small amount of paint has been scratched on the red buckle but otherwise perfectly working. Can send pics if you are still after some....
  6. I desperately need to know how you did that! My R400 has the same problem and it's letting the car down.
  7. Definitely heard of it happening on a friends car.
  8. Colin, I bought a Supersport from CC Gatwick two years ago as a 'dealer approved' car. I raised the concern regarding the Titan diff (clunky/noisy) after almost a year of ownership and CC investigated at the annual service and agreed that the diff should be removed and inspected by Road Race Transmission (RRT). This obviously occurred just as the warranty was running out but CC accepted that as I had raised the concern before the end of the warranty, they accepted the full cost of whatever was needed. The following advice from RRT to CC was that a new diff was required and CC removed and replaced a new diff, albeit another Titan, supplied by RRT. It's still clunky/noisy but have been told by Sevens & Classics as well as RRT, that it is operating as expected with no cause to do anything at all. Sounds bloody horrible at low speed and turning. However, as stated either in this thread (or some of the alternatives), I'm keeping a close eye on oil quality and colour as well as resigning myself that the diff will come out this winter for a full inspection by RRT. I agree - there is no way that any repair, service or replacement should be down to you - it's covered under the original warranty as long as you have raised it with CC IN WRITING before the warranty end date. However, note that any replacement diff will not be further covered by your original CC warranty. Note that mine is the standard Sigma and is purely a road car - no track days planned or desired. I'm waiting for someone on this forum to come up with a better alternative than simply driving it and hoping that it doesn't fail catastrophically somewhere. Or I have to bite the bullet at some point and pay for a better solution that doesn't carry that risk. Bloody disgraceful.
  9. I remember driving a hire car from Peace River to Alberta during a winter working session a few years back. As they (Hertz) had hired out everything with winter tyres, snow chains et al, they offered me an upgrade to an SUV with the mandatory Canadian rock chip in the front screen but only fitted with summer tyres. I then drove for several hours watching the outside temp gauge gradually fall to -35. I had eyeballs on stalks for the entire trip but will never forget what a great experience it was.
  10. Are those the mirrors that attach to the windscreen frame? Just knocked one of mine off being too impatient to move the car before squeezing by with a mattress! Cracked the round ball joint bit but won't glue back into place. If you could send a pic through of what you have or a link etc - greatly appreciated.
  11. I'm the same as the other guys - nothing but a very positive experience with Caterham (Gatwick). No haggling on the price as they were going out the door like hot cakes and there is a possible benefit of having the Caterham 'approved' car IMHO. Recently had mine valued elsewhere for insurance purposes and it came back exactly what I paid for it 8 months ago. A couple of minor niggles were quickly sorted out and even improved the car. And you also get quite a few other perks with CC such as reduced 7 hire, free MoT's for during ownership etc. Go on, buy it....
  12. My father passed away several years ago but I still have my dads Thor in his old toolbox. He was a maintenance electrician at AEI in the early days. I still imagine him using it every time I pick it up. As you say, every bloke should have one.
  13. Yes, you can sit next to 6 people in a pub garden but not stand next to them, with a 2m gap, in the wide open space of a race track. Doh. Tough for organisers I guess so let's stick with the rules and get back to normal at some point. Like the October GRRC Members meeting....
