    My car is a late 2012 build Sigma fixed cam. The relay is a 3 pin part 190912 12v max 98w 21wx4 (2x5w) 21wx2 (5w) Rob

    John, If you PM me your whatapp number or email i will send you a photo of the correct relay. I have mine out currently. Rob

    Thanks Dave, Weird then, as yours seems to be the one Caterham list for the Variable cam sigma.

    Sorry Dave, to confirm yours is a fixed cam not a variable ? Thanks

    Dave, Thank you and for the pm. Much appreciated. A ford dealer suggested it would be an M12 45mm although the one in the image Caterham shows for the fixed cam looks longer? Caterham shows one for the VVT, it is longer again with what looks like a washer and not threaded to the top, it wont be that then. So the one I require will be fully threaded but could it be 45mm or longer? Once I start the strip down I'd rather get it back together in one go so checking what I have then ordering will be a delay. I should be able to get a bolt once sure.

    Hello, Next week I will be changing my cam belt but still need a new crank bolt. Caterham out of stock and ford struggling to ID the correct part number for me. Just keep asking what HP the car is. Also, I have seen a few different results for the torq setting. One said 110nm another 45nm+90deg. Thanks Rob

    I have used a couple of 5A C-teks for about 5 years with no issues to the device or batteries which are left on charge Oct - March. I have also had 2 Optimates. One blew its transformer after I used it on a low car battery. The other still works but the charged indicator LED died. Personally, I get the 5A C-Tek

    Better not to apply anything over rust on a painted panel. Take the affected area back to clean metal while not damaging more paint than required. Make sure there is no rust creep under the local area. Clean with panel wipe or a dab of paint thinners. Then apply etch primer, then 30min to an hour later the touch up. A few thin layers to build it back to level.

    Wavetrac LSD

    RetroRob replied to JeWe's topic in TechTalk

    It does not appear the original question had any real feedback. Has anyone direct experience of the wavetrac fitted to a Seven? They are in theory an attractive road biased middle ground but in practice?

    Long shot but maybe somebody purchased one and never fitted it. Needs to be black and in good condition. Thanks Rob

    The fault was with the short loom. Cut open and the resistor leg had corroded off. And this on a car with 2 miles on the clock and 9 years in a carcoon. So a rubber plug one end, an open U bend the other. Right next to a hot engine the perfect moisture trap. Resistor was 220ohms. Cleaned up, resoldered, new resistor and heat shrink fitted but now sealed at both ends. Pressure reading now on start up, just over 4 and rises when blipped. Thank you for the advice and links above. Would never have guessed they had fitted those in that location.

    Thanks, much appreciated. I will check the above later and update. Rob

    Hello, I have a (new build by other person) 2012 Sigma engined roadsport I am debugging. The oil pressure gauge is not moving (very slight movement at ignition switch on). Tried unplugging/replugging the round rubber connector that attaches the sensor fly lead into the car wiring. Tried pulling and refitting the plug into the back of the gauge. Is there a reading I can check with a meter? Thanks Rob

    Car is now home with me, Cam and his dad were very nice and helpful. The car just as described except it has 2 miles on the clock, not the 6 first estimated : ) I will do a progress report once started. Thanks Rob

    Just to update, I am expanding my search after testing a 310 Decided a newer car would also suit me. Needs to be very condition / original Thanks

    I say I don't want a track car, the Superlight 20 does look nice though. Has a bit of old school racer about it. Rob

    Thank you all Nick, yes the workshop with an eta of 6 weeks took 4 months to arrive but is now in place. Just the wiring etc now for me to install then I can move stuff out of my garage. Its been the slowest project I have ever started : ) Richard, we not far away then. Hopefully the right car wont be too far away either. Rob

    Hi Stu, Thank you I am in north Staffordshire. Just around the corner from Nick Chan as it happens. I have been looking for a while but due to a delay with creating the extra storage space required (and rubbish weather) I have not made any firm efforts until today. Chaps are outside now in the snow assembling my workshop which will free up more garage space for the extra car. : ) Rob

    Hello all, I am a new member looking for a car. Ideally a nice crossflow but will also consider others if a bit special. Traditional colour , red, green, black, silver etc. bright pack preferred. Mainly to be a fun road car and occasional events but items like a LSD etc I would add if not fitted. Not looking for a heavily track focused car or yellow/orange etc. Preference is a more classic look. I will be visiting a few of the usual dealers soon but thought I'd check with club members first in case anyone has been thinking of a change. Budget is flexible for the right car. Thanks Rob
