hi ppl looking for a sump pan for a 1994 ,1600 xflow engine .its my dads and he has bashed it a bit .thought i would try and get a spare .a new one or ones listed on ebay are to ritch for me .i was hopeing some one might have an old one lying around after converting to a dry sump.i have got access to mig welding so as long as its not to bad i should be able to repair a dammaged one .thanks again

thanks for that virden ,i will look in archives

hi ppl ,i was about to do an oil change on my dads 1600 xflow and noticed a rather large dent in the sump .thier is a bit of oil on the sump pan but not enough to leave any marks on the ground its a bit of a surprise as the car hasnt moved over the winter .i was wondering how easy it was to replace the sump and where to get one as caterham say the no longer sell them .is this a job a novice can do?any advice would be very welcome .thanks .

thanks for all your input ppl .think my dad wants to put fancy blue ones in,so will try that .i will have a look next week, as usual you all came up trumps with advice .thanks again tne puddings .

sorry ment to say its a 1600 xflow engine ,my dad got me to replace the main hoses with fancy blue stuff wonderd if it was the same kind for the smaller hose ?

hi just getting the car out of cold storage and noticed the hoses to and from the heater which we never use are looking tired .can anyone give me a thread on replacements,and any pitfalls when replacing them cheers thankyou .ps wondering if it might be just as quick to get rid of the heater as we have never used it ,thanks again puddings .

thanks ppl for your help as usual,will get on with the job at the weekend

first go at this .my dad has aquired a seven and is having probs getting it in and out of his drive. not enough clearance,thought about putting bigger wheels on .phoned caterham about wheels they said they only supply 13" which we already have .he then suggested replaceing the shocks to cure the problem .now not sure what to do . any advice would be gratefully recived. im ex navy and from a steam background so not used to theese land hugging creatures .cheers
