Hi, yeah they are currently £435 + VAT - 10% from BG…circa £470 Currently circa £440 from Caterham. I was hoping to spend rather less than that and get one second hand! If anyone has one…please let me know! Thanks, Dom

Good afternoon all, thanks for your further feedback! @7 wonders of the world added to the to-do list @Mick Day thanks for the tip - I have a pretty decent history for the car and cannot see any fuel pump-related purchases (at least since 2003) @revilla thank you for the suggestions - I will check the spacing; it may be rev-dependent, but I don't have enough data to go on; that's very interesting to know about the ECU-reboot time...I remember the issue occurring at low revs (it also cut out a few times whilst trundling up the hill to my house and when approaching junctions slowing down to a stop/setting off again) @Toby S the barrel ignition switch was removed last year and replaced with an aircraft-style toggle switch on the dash - however next time I am out I will try the indicators and see if there is some sort of correlation 😉 @john milner thanks for the comment; unfortunately it won't be that in my case as I removed the FIA isolator switch last year (my car is now very stealable!)

BUMP, price dropped Please someone take it off my hands so I can put an end to the nagging at home for taking up too much storage space 🥲

Good morning all, https://caterhamparts.co.uk/other/1497-cooling-submarine-1-outlet-for-rover-dry-sump.html Submarine removed from cooling system and replaced with new as part of a recent engine rebuild. Due to tight timescales I was not able to have the original powdercoated (as this was the preferred route). In full working order (although would indeed benefit from a powdercoat), selling simply because I have no need for it. Price from the Caterham Parts site is £45.48 Components located in Chipping Norton, happy to arrange postage and/or collection. Please do PM me if anything captures your interest; prices are negotiable. Thanks in advance. Yours, Dom

Good morning all, https://caterhamparts.co.uk/brackets/1112-cycle-wingstay-lh-13-14-wheel-road-use.html https://caterhamparts.co.uk/cycle-wings/7873-cycle-wing-black-grp-standard.html These came off my car after having covered circa 500 miles; I have given them a quick polish and they came up quite wonderfully (as you can see in the photos). The only reason for removing them is because I changed to body-coloured wings on some slightly-lower race stays. Caterham Parts price for the wing stays is £92.09 per stay Caterham Parts price for cycle wings (unpainted) is £91.66 per wing Total price from the Caterham Parts site is (92.09 + 91.66) x2 = £367.50 Components located in Chipping Norton, happy to arrange postage and/or collection.

Good morning all, https://caterhamparts.co.uk/nose-cones/6845-nose-cone-black-s3-420-race-with-large-oil-cooler.html Nosecone has covered circa 500 miles since purchase, all of which it was covered with a wrap (since been removed). Fits any S3 chassis, not just the 420R. Price from the Caterham Parts site is £392.68 Components located in Chipping Norton, happy to arrange postage and/or collection.

Good morning all, https://caterhamparts.co.uk/switches/4410-inertia-switch-ford-sigma-duratec-engines.html Link above points to a Sigma/Duratec component, however this one is from a K-Series. Comparing the two images, they look very similar if not identical and I imagine work in an identical fashion…2 wires with a broken/un-broken circuit… Removed due to desire to remove any “excess” weight from the car and clean up the engine bay (I didn’t want to have to make any unnecessary holes in my new bulkhead). Price from the Caterham Parts site is £46.24 Components located in Chipping Norton, happy to arrange postage and/or collection. Please do PM me if anything captures your interest; prices are negotiable. Thanks in advance. Yours, Dom

Good morning all, https://caterhamparts.co.uk/switches/6567-steering-column-lock-all-cars.html Removed due to desire to remove any “excess” weight from the car - in this case the car will only be used on track and as such is not needed. The necking bolts have never been torqued to the point at which they begin to stretch (as pictured). Price from the Caterham Parts site is £128.11 Components located in Chipping Norton, happy to arrange postage and/or collection.

Good morning all, thank you very much for your feedback. @TomB I will check the TPS - however I would have thought that this would result in the engine stalling as I engage the clutch without revs - I wouldn't expect it to "regain power" a few seconds later(?) It's an easy check though...so I will definitely have a look. @Skipper555 I will have a look but I doubt the problem is earths/power supply as I went over the entire electrical system last year and cleaned it all up. @Mick Day that's very interesting - I know the fuel pump is on the list of "consumables" for this car. I don't fancy this job, but think I might have to check this. @Shaun_E Hi Shaun, it is the one bolted to the block - I can't go wasted spark with the MEMS (unless @revilla knows differently) - when the engine came out last year to go to Dave everything obviously came off and had a damn good clean - it didn't look "old"/"worn" but who knows what it looks like inside. I can recheck the connections just in case. As per my comment to Mick Day, I will check the fuel pump and see what that looks like. @Englishmaninwales Hi Malcom, when I re-did the engine loom before Curbs last year I redid that line completely - new spade connectors on both sides that slot together with a nice amount of friction and the whole thing was then heatshrinked so it can't come undone - thanks for the tip though! @Jonathan Kay I have all the car/engine loom diagrams yes; no drowning (it lives in the garage and never sees the rain); I must admit I didn't check the dials to see what happened when I lost engine power (I was too busy trying to see what might drive into me); I didn't ever "restart it" - engine power would come back of its own accord a couple of seconds later. Re: your second message...thanks for the tips. I will re-check all connections just in case however everything is definitely clean (I did this job thoroughly last year and the car has done maybe 250 (sunny) miles since then); I will check battery voltage too, however I have a voltage reading on the dash and I don't remember seeing anything strange in normal driving (both on and off load); ECU fuses are the standard/originals, situated underneath the ECU - I gave this all a clean last year...but there could be something loose. I still can't imagine that if the ECU lost power due to a dodgy connection it would then come back to life and start firing cylinders after a couple of seconds? Spark plug wells are definitely dry; I can check for seating...but as you say, it is definitely not just 1 cylinder causing an issue! @Klunk The FIA switch and its many kgs of wiring all came off last year!
