  1. *tongue*Have a set of HPC 16" wheels (5) in excellent condition complete with Goodyear Eagle GSD+ Tyres. 3 tyres have tread of 6mm, 2 tyres have tread of 3mm over 95% All wheels are in superb condition, balanced and ready to fit. They come complete with wheel centres (5) and special locking tool. £250 the set, a complete bargain! IAN (got the Green and Yellow Fever!!!)
  2. Anyone got any smart solutions as to how to stop the mats from sliding under the pedals! I did what the Caterham manual told me 4 years ago with the poppers but these have pulled thro, I've also tried heavy duty velcro but with only partial success!! Please help before I go mad!![:/ IAN (got the Green and Yellow Fever!!!)
  3. 😬Anyone got a set of these or tried them? I was thinking of a set for the summer? Would be interested in expert views, I always have the full sidescreens as I'm not keen on the buffeting at speed, do they really make any difference? Any clues on the price from Caterham, seems to be an ommision from their site! *confused* Ta IAN (got the Green and Yellow Fever!!!)

    MOT HELP

    Guys, Thanks for all your help, it was a combination of the lambda probe going knackered (apparently they don't like damp garages) and the fuel pressure regulator needing tweaking! Well I'm £300 lighter and CC are better off but at least I'm legal again, just in time for the summer! Thanks again IAN IAN (got the Green and Yellow Fever!!!)
  5. *smile*I managed to get mine passed on Friday but not until I had a new Lambda sensor and 3 hors at CC with them trying everything including a new ECU (could have been expensive!). Turned out it was the sensor and the fuel pressure regulator needed tweaking. Ultimately sailed thro with a lambda reading of 1 exactly! Car doesn't feeel mich different but perhaps slightly smoother at speed and using considerably more fuel IAN (got the Green and Yellow Fever!!!)
  6. My car (2000 1.8K S/S) failed last week also but only on the lambda setting, otherwise it was seen as running too clean!! I have an appointment with CC tomorow, they are checking whether or not its a dodgy lambda probe or sometyhing more sinister in the ECU... will advise!! Green and Yellow Fever!!!

    MOT HELP

    Thanks Guys, I tried the blat for half an hour and have checked the regs and all is well, I've even tweaked the fuel pressure regulator, if anything its worse than before! Looking at the plugs they are very grey meaning that I'm running very lean, I've also whipped out the lambda probe (I think this could be the problem!) it is also very grey/white, should be black? So, is there any kind soul out there who would mind lending me their K series lambda probe to try and pass the MOT (next Friday), if this works then clearly I will invest in a new probe (£100, ouch). Happy to buy the generous soul a pint. IAN PS I'm very local to the Wotton Hatch in Surrey (Guildford) *confused*

    MOT HELP

    Guys, I need help, my car has just failed its MOT on the Exhaust Emissions test, specifically the Lambda probe. The car is a K 1.8 S/S but has been laid up over the winter. Apparantely the target for the car is 1.09 and I can only get to 1.34, the guy at the Garage tells me this means either I have an air leak or the Lambda''s knackered, either way the car is running too lean. It drives OK and doesn't feel under powered vs normal. Anyone got any suggestions, or have any info on what the lambda limit is from their test results?? Many Thanks IAN ☹️
