Thanks - thankfully Callum at Turn 7 had the assembly guide for the car which he has kindly given to me.  

Well we completed our first track day - it was at Blyton Park last weekend and probably the last chance before the weather really turns.  It left us hooked, even though our 120 Roadsport will never be the fastest car there and often the slowest.  Certainly hope to get on some track days next year and will be more organised but as we have to drive there in the Caterham we will be travelling light and no tyre changes or other luxuries for us.  Anyway, we thought we'd a couple of our oh so slow and very much novice laps ... bring on next year!

Tony. If you need any help with maintenance. LADS will help and have plenty of tools for you to borrow. If you are on standard brakes I would suggest Mintex 1144 pads for the front calipers.

Thanks a really good point.  I need to try to get to the next meet.

Thankfully Turn 7 had one and gave it to me, I must admit I was really pleased but at the moment it might as well be the instructions for a rocket!  That said I am loving the experience.  

We have just bought our first Caterham, it is a 2003 120 Roadsport SV and will currently have the standard break callipers and new pads as we bought it after being worked on by Turn 7.   However we are going to be taking the car on track days hence know we will be going through break pads and would like to be able change them at home.  Can anyone point us in the right direction for instructions how to change the pads and what would we need to do it?  Advice on where to get pads from would also be appreciated.  Sorry for what fear is a question akin to 'how do I fill my washer bottle' but this is a whole new world to us.  Thanks.
