  1. Is the cable close to the Exhaust headers? 

    On my 420 the cable was routed quite close to the headers and it melted the rubber into the inner cable and made the throttle sticky and not smooth.

    Had to replace and reroute the cable higher up and used some heat shield sleeving.

     

  2. Update, Caterham came back to me and we did a deal..

    Ordered an upgrade with Roller barrels today.

    Something has drawn me to the roller barrels against what I have read and been told.

    Probably explains why there is no Swmbo to get the ok from.

  3. I believe tyres are considered new up to 5 years from the manufacturer date and can be sold by Tyre suppliers as new.

     

    Saying that I brought my 2015 car with only 1300miles on it and will probably be replacing the tyres as they feel a bit hard.

     

    If in doubt wear them out.

     

     

     

     

  4. Thanks Simon.

    To quote Caterham.

    "The engine upgrade includes upgraded camshafts, valve springs (if required) and uprated injectors (if required), we also load a new map onto the ECU to take into account the new cams. Then we also replace the intake system with the roller barrels, this includes balancing and testing the roller barrels are operating correctly, we also map the ECU for the roller barrels too"

     

    That's 2 maps on 1 ECU.. think I have talked myself out of it. Going to talk to other suppliers.

    I have been talking to Caterham about a possible upgrade from 360 to 420.

    They have told me that new injectors and valve springs may or may not be required, but the price is the same either way.

    That's put me off on principle as why should I possibly pay for Injectors and Springs that won't be installed. Injectors seem to be £160 each on the caterham website.

     

    Does anyone know how I tell which Injectors and springs are in the Engine? 2015 built in that helps.

     

    Thanks
