dave at ppg did mine too.

he went to ccm to fit it to my car before i picked it up,well chuffed with result.

hi les,

do you have a foam airfilter on your model,if so,is it dry or damp.it should not be dry,if it is that could be your prob,for a few £ outlay buy a cleaner solution,then re oil,yours could be dry or blocked and that causes fould plugs,poor fuel consumption,just an idea and its cheap,if you go down this road,after re oiling,pat dry with paper towel to soak up the surplus.or hang fire as the clever lads will be here soon.

 

vouchers,what vouchers

hi scoops,

oil filter part no is 1714387 @£3.29 from ford today.

if its the first run of the year,it might be flat fuel,smell it,if it smells like vinigar,dump it,if it smells sharp like a spirit its ok,quick+easy test and its free.

good luck.

axle stands one end,ramps at other end with a 5ft lump of 3x2 across top of ramps for car to sit on,sorted.

hi jackb ms

have you tried,theplasticshop.co.uk,

fred gustafsson

can't just make out from photo,but it look's like two thread turn's are visible,if so,back nut off in same run

hi cageyh

try sweetsweep,they sell brushes,

hi michaeljclark,

can't put photo up,not clever enough.if you jack the back up,crawl under,look up toward's rear bulkhead,driver's side, they should be tiewrapped to framework,on mine[2010 150 roadsport]there are 5 wire's hanging down,a single one,2side by side,and 2 tied together with onespade end turned end on,looking like a 't' shape.

one is black wire[earth],the other is purple/red stripe[live],THESE ARE THE ONE'S,if you put a meter on them,it will read 12v,you don't need to put ign'on to try,it work's without it on.good luck.

 

 

hi dignity,

when rac gave you the codes,did you check your dash to see if you are getting the same codes,

press and hold trip button,now turn on ignition,the word TEST will light up where the trip figures are,now press the button 6 times and you will get OBD [on board diagnostics]then a number/numbers,then,google ford fault codes,and see what comes up.just to cross check rac diagnosis,you have nothing to lose by diong this and its practice for a later date.

good luck.

hi all,

does'nt the variable timing work on oil pressure,more rev's,more oil pressure.

are you'r level's ok,

i bought 3 large aerosols,sprayed caterham,sprayed the 4wing lips on my fiesta,and still have dregs from first tin,and i wasnt stingy with it,car is on blocks for the winter,will give 2nd coat before next march,hope this helps.cracking stuff.

bricol,

nice support vehicle,integrale,wowwwwwwwwwwwwwww

i used dynax s50 from bilt hamber laboratories,like waxoil but a bit thinner,gets in grot traps better,comes with a long straw with a sprayball type end fitted to it,so as you spray outside footwell traps,it will sure get everware.before i used it on my caterham[new in april],i ordered this when i ordered my car in september,i got 2 bolts out of garage,sprayed one,and left one alone,then left them lying in the kitchen grid all through winter,sink water,wash machine,rain,frost,snow,checked after winter over,one rusty one like new,well chuffed.i plan to give car a coat each year to top it up,also this stuff reheals itself if a stone does chip it,google it and see,good luck.

smell the petrol,if it smell's like vinegar,its gone flat,it should smell sharp like a spirit.

also,check colour of spark,if its orange,bin it,it should be blue/white,and if you have tipped it on its side,did you make sure it was exhaust up,if your getting tired pulling the cord,take pull cover off and put a socket and drill on crankshaft nut to start it,whenit starts,pull socket off quick,as mower spins quicker than drill.

this way is handy if cord snaps,as it will get you out of a pickle.

good luck.

hi paul deslanders,

i take you'r point paul,but i'm waiting for some reader's to mark steering wheel and try it,[caterham/support vehicle].i may be wrong with my explanation,but i don't think i'm wrong saying they differ in turning circle's.

hi paul deslandes

i'm under the impression,it's todo with steering collum comming out of steering rack offset,as left hand drive car's have odd turning circle's but opposit to us.r/h/drive car's have smaller turning circle turning right,than left.and visa versa

hi bricol

yes,i am saying you'r first sentence.

myothercarsa2cv

when you turn you'r steering wheel lock to lock,the distances are not the same,no car is,one full turn circle of any car [caterham or not]is always shorter one way than the other.also,the distances are opposit for left and right hand car's

hi nick,

good to meet you and the guy's on tuesday night,

the tool i was on about was a [launch c recorder]bought from workshopsolutionsonline,£63.see the cheesey video and get my drift.it seem's the same as your's,

good luck to you and graham? with you'r build's

hi dan,

took mine back to it's midland's place of birth for my first medical,all spot on,arron did mine,stood/lay with him all the time,talked my through what ,why,keep an eye on,check clutch was'nt dragging,brake's free,tracking,camber,you have nothing to loose only three hour's of you'r time,and the travel will reel in that thousand mile,good luck anyway

150 flavoured viper blue roadsport.

what car have you got,is it on throttle boddies,i have a 150 roadsport and mine seem's the same,querried recently at 1k medical and was told the boddies dont like light throttle,press it,or don't,never had a car on boddies before,but once explained,seemed logical,car never stumbled since,

WHAT A CAR,AWESOME.

hi guy's

don't want to sound a tight wad here,but i have a 2.25ton lifting jack for my roadsport support vehicle [fiesta],i had in mind,when i come to jack rear of caterham up,remove jack front wheel's,and place a bit of 6mill stud bar under jack front end to allow it to roll and not scratch my battleship gray floor.give this a try before you splashout.

hi garth,

took mine back to midland's last week for 1000mile medical,i had same blip,told by arron,mine's150 roadsport,only doe's it at tickover.

car is aewsome.
