    Oracle TVP Mon pm

    Yellow around 4.30 pm just pulling out of 540 car park. Doug
  3. Is this the 4 point with a crotch strap added? Does it come complete with the bolts? Tia Doug
  4. I am looking at using some p clips and attaching it to the chassis tubes under the inlet plenum near the washer bottle. Routing the final breather down the tunnel and out the back of the car. Doug
  5. Roger I have read here and on AP's website that the 4 pots should have dot 4 used in them. I assumed that thr seals won't like the 5.1 and have only used the 4 personally. I have had no problems. Doug
  6. Silicone brake fluid tends to be purple when I have seen it. It's done on purpose so it's easy to spot if you have it. AP don't recommend silicone fluids or 5.1 for the Caterham sold calipers. I would just give it all a good bleed through with a DOT 4, you may be able to see the new clean stuff come through dependant on how old the old fluid is.

  7. Firing order is 1342, according to google. The coil pack appears to be one unit? but I suspect it would be wasted spark. Anything else is common to all 4 pots, apart from the throttle bodies which can be ruled out. My suggestion is the coil pack is better on one pair than the other. Just my thoughts Doug
  8. My 7 has a non axial brise starter fitted, so probably not exactly the same but similar. When I first had the car it would require a little throttle at start up or would do as yours and just die straight away. After a very wet trip to Europe the starter would barely turn the car over. So it all got stripped out and the electrics checked. I found a very rough connection had been added to the end of the main starter feed wire to extend the cable, this had burnt the cable a bit due to it being loose. Having done a better job and made it all good the car now starts without throttle, even after standing for weeks with the isolator removed. I guess I am saying, check all the connections on the starter as that is all that has changed, and look for any 'additions' that may have been made. As has been said the 9.9 V is too low for the ECU to work, mine had similar values but is now fine. Doug

  15. Hi Is the Carbon cycle wing a caterham one? ie does it have an extra lip around the sides?, also has is been drilled for a indicator lens? I am after one for the NS. I am in Somerset, travelling back to Berks tomorrow pm, so could potentially collect if it is a NS one. Ta Doug
  16. I have used the same pipe you have as supplied by Think. It has been fine for the past 2 years. After fitting it the car was used to drive to Spa and do 2 days on the track and then drive back. No problems. It is on a system with the purple pump if that makes a huge difference. Hope that helps Doug
  17. Hendy ford seem to have some. 20% off. That will pay for the shipping !! 😳 Hendy Doug
  18. I am trying to fit a temp sender into the k series bell housing dry sump tank. A friend has a sender located on the passanger side of the tank. I have what appears to be a blanking plug in the tank in this location which has a machined circle around the plug, it requires a star tool to remove it. I have tried and managed to mangle the star tool. Admittedly it had a hole in the middle so was able to collapse. Is this the correct location? Has anyone else tried to remove the plug and succeeded. The car is a 98 K (obviously) factory built. TIA Doug
  19. It could be a worn CV joint. Possibly not worn enough for mot failure, but enough for you to notice. Is it worse under acceleration? That would point to a CV joint. Another possible is if you have shuffled the tyres around. I have had some strange wobbles from that. Mainly because I do lots of miles with just me in the car and the tyres wear slightly differently side to side. Doug
