  1. The chaps at the track day hire company (next to where I work) have a 420R road car that they need to get back on the road after a fire under the scuttle.
    Fuel pump tripped on last lap of day on track.
    This morning, on lifting the scuttle, it's all burnt out around the three immobilizer units.
    If you turn it out now, it starts again but it catches fire!
    Can it be removed and another one easily put in. It's a Sterling XL immobiliser.

  2. Morning chaps and chapesses,

    I have a 1996 HPC Caterham, with my C20XE engine pushing about 200bhp now, but aiming for nearer 250bhp soon.
    It currently has the standard 5-speed Ford Type-9 gearbox fitted.

    I have acquired another 5-speed Ford Type 9 gearbox, but this one is fitted with a Quaife straight-cut gearset.
    It’s being refurbed currently and will be installed on Easter weekend.

    What oil should I run it with (and what volume) for optimum performance - tempered with as much quietness - as I can get?  

    Please advise, so I can get it bought and ready… I can't wait…
    Many thanks in anticipation

  3. Here's the steal of the century I've just found for you on eBay... for £150 or best offer. Go halves with a mate

    2 Autocom units, plus 2 headsets and 2 microphones (just need to plumb them into off the shelf Peltor ear defenders).
    It also comes with 2 PMR radios included!!
    He looks like a dealer or at least someone who trades in these a lot, as he offers a stereo Bluetooth upgrade to the mono one fitted, for £12.50.
    He could probably even build you up two Peltor headets if you asked him

  4. "4.5.3. Switching
    Front and rear fog lamp switches may be combined or independent switches.
    The switch or switches must:
    - be secure
    - be able to be operated from the normal driving position
    - operate the fog lamps as intended
    Rear fog lamps may be combined with the rear position lamps. Front and rear fog lamps are permitted to operate independently of any other lamps or ignition systems. The function of a fog lamp must not be adversely affected by the operation of any other lamp."

    Maybe the tester is flagging it re the last line above that I've stuck in bold and italics above, as you could argue that your setup does just that? 

  5. Are you sure that you have the Toyo tyre name correct, as I've never heard of that one? 
    I have 16" Toyo Proxes R1R on my seven, which is a softer sticker version of the Toyo Proxes T1R.
    Sadly they are stopping production of the R1R... they may have even stopped by now.
    I had to get mine by driving to a motorsport specialist tyre garage in High Wycombe who had bought bulk volumes of the R1R's in different sizes as they knew they were being discontinued.

  6. Mine always remains with the two main straps left connected at the rear, for instant deployment.
    When taking it down, I walk backwards to tighten the square roof for neat rolling.
    I tuck the two sides in just past the natural bend either side.
    I then start rolling, keeping the square tight as I walk to the car, rolling as I go.
    Simply fasten into the little SBFS fabric sleeve and you're good to go...
