    Be warned, my 2008 CSR had grease nipples but they were boxed in with a strengthening panel held by circa 36 rivets and so couldn’t be seen or accessed. No mention in service details. Shaft failed when one fell out c/w all the grease. Replaced it with greased for life shaft.

    Rust!

    David Brown replied to Rob Mullan's topic in TechTalk

    Tidy up then POR15 and ACF 50, then check annually. Used to put black electrical tape on front wishbones and again check or replace every winter.

    The other 7 that I reversed into at Donnington was difficult to see, perhaps because he had an aero and driver hidden by my seat headrest. My stupid fault but resolved by trading for an Elise (which hasn’t much better rear visibility!).

    What about a blue tooth reversing camera - with lowered floor just about impossible to back up.

    #4/#6 Aberfoyle, Duke's Pass, Lochearnhead, Killin, Kenmore, Aberfeldy, Sma' Glen, Crieff. Did this on Thursday, if you only do one don't miss this. Loch Long route great if you get it empty but about only one passing place. If staying near Glasgow, take an evening run for Fish & Chips in Inveraray. Great road south of Lochgilphead, call in to Crinan, down to Campbeltown back up to Tarbert take the ferry to Port Avadie then over to Hunter's Quay and ferry over to Gourock.

    Also check the universal joints on the prop shaft.

    Anyone used Zello as phone walkie talkies? Friend and I were going to Alps in bikes and 7 and were going to try using this to communicate. Worked ok in tests between his helmet and my headset out of the car but Covid caused our plans to be abandoned and haven't (yet) tried it again.

    Oilyhands, Dave Andrew's, (DVA) is the go to person on the k series. Check out his website DVApower if you haven't already.

    You seem to have managed!

    Plenty in the archives and something last week - do a search.

    Invergarry

    David Brown posted a topic in Spotted

    A large number of Sevens spotted and photographed, earlier this week in Invergarry, presumably doing the NC500. Looked like, perhaps, a Fisher Fury with the group.

    Never seen a leather one. All I'm sure made from the same material as the hood and boot cover. Don't think a leather one would appreciate getting wet.

    Be careful if car needs warranty or goodwill work after purchase.

    If oil was leaking from dry sump flow/return it would have to partly fill the bellhousing to leak out there - circa 5l of oil I would guess. Also oil leaking from the crank seal would need some volume to reach there. Either way if there was sufficient to splash up to that level, in any case you would have significant clutch slip from oil on the flywheel/clutch. Suggest removing the starter and running a finger around inside to see if there's any oil before going any further. Suspect your oil leak is elsewhere or residue from tower leak.

    A lot of very useful info on DVA site.

    Investigated and tested Zello app for a trip with friend on motorbike to Germany. We got push to talk buttons on steering wheel/handlebars using Bluetooth in helmet and headset. Unfortunately trip cancelled due to Covid so not tested in "anger".

    #19 I would never suggest that it's correct to only fasten a fitting by one thread while adjusting the other end. A definite possibility of stripping the thread. Three or four, while still leaving slack a far better idea.
  19. David Brown
    Perhaps because this exercise resulting in me removing the engine/gearbox three times and diff twice persuaded me to swap it for an Elise.
  20. David Brown
    If you do a search you will see the issue I had last winter with the propshaft on my CSR. Very easy to get refurbed but afraid you've stripped the wrong end (like I did). You need to drop the diff and remove from that end.
  21. David Brown
    Never bothered as so little oil left in it as per #2. Anything left is significantly diluted with the new oil and won't have done many miles compared to your tintop which may have 20k mile oil change.

    Use pipe lagging to protect the chassis tubes.
  23. David Brown
    Done both but prefer fitting as an assembly as can be difficult aligning splines on gearbox shaft to the flywheel when under the car.

    As an aside, friend picked me up last night in his 4wd Panamera and it exhibited quite a bit of juddering in low speed maneuvering. He thought it was the tyres but I'm more inclined to think it was the diff.

    Dinitrol 3125 plus ACF50 twice a year. POR15 on any chips.
