  1. Has anybody got any experience with these: Fluke Motorsport carbon aeroscreen Seems cheaper, but as always you can't buy solely on price I like the look of the carbon stantion fitting kit. I believe these are manufactured by Mog Racing . I am Leg End...
  2. Now the evenings are dark I noticed that my SPA Digital Gauges were not illuminating, I tried all the settings in the handbook but still couldn't get them to light, althought the oil temp/pressure one flashed green for a couple of seconds So I phoned SPA and spoke to a very helpful bloke called Tony Taylor. He confirmed that it sounded as if the backlights had failed So I sent them on Wednesday afternoon to their factory near Lichfield. Thursday morning I had a call from Tony Taylor telling me they would be fixed that afternoon and back in the post at the end of the day. This morning I had them back as promised . Refitted and now they look very Fantastic service from SPA 😬, I thought it would be a week at least, and especially a big to Tony Taylor. I am Leg End...

  6. Hi Nigel, I'm glad you haven't gone I have been reading (with envy 😳) about your R500 build. One day maybe I will have the latest Caterham too Please continue with your updates... I am Leg End...
  7. My battery is an Hawker SBS15 (about £120 + delivery) and has a long service life if looked after, so I've decided to look after it I am Leg End...
  8. My CTEK Multi XS3600 arrived this morning , it had great reviews all over the web. I bought it from Clicky Clicky - www.TheUltimateFinish.co.uk for £49.95 with free p+p, but it was another £6.99 for the cigarette-lighter socket adaptor (convenience junky me! ) So tonight my battery is happily on maintenance charge I am Leg End...
  9. What about the electronic speed sensors on the driver's side of the gearbox, it could be in contact with something or the "top hat" connector is loose? I am Leg End...
  10. An update... I spoke with Caterham, they were very helpful. The solution was simple, the dial is simply very stiff and and held in place by a spring loaded grubscrew, it was suggested that I use pliers to turn it. I did this but found that a small screwdriver could be used too. The range of adjustment is very large for only 5 settings (CC warned me about this), these are my observations. Setting 1 - the suspension bounces around a huge amount (very soft), I don't think I would ever use this setting. Setting 2 - is acceptable for bumpy/rough surface roads but didn't feel good on roundabouts and twisties (soft), felt a bit like my MK1 MX5. Setting 3 - seems like the best comprimise for my local Dorset roads (firm) Setting 4 - this was the setting my car was on since I bought it, on some roads my fillings were working loose but it felt like I was cornering on rails (very firm) Setting 5 - I need a good (and cheap) dentist, more suited to driving on glass or the track, so I'll try this at a track once I get the chance (hard). So with only 5 setting it's very easy to find one that suits me. I am Leg End... Edited by - Andy Whittle on 26 Aug 2008 13:01:21
  11. It's a long shot but... I'm looking for a laminova and pipework (or is that really asking for the moon-on-a-stick). Please search your garages 😬 Andy I am Leg End...
  12. Hi Peter, yes the bumpstop is out of view Maybe a bit of a daft question but do I phone CC's parts dept for advice or is there a technical department I need to talk to? The website only has numbers for Sales or Parts I am Leg End...
  13. I've had my car now for nearly 2 months and the questions are starting to build up, so here's the first of many! My Suspension I have struggled to indentify what setup it is in the first place however from these pictures does it look like Caterham's Track Day Spring and Damper Kit? Who manufacturers these for Caterham, is it Bilstein? Front suspension clicky 4 piccy Does anybody have this set up because a Blat Chat search wasn't very helpful Does this little dial allow the damper to be adjusted, From harder to softer? And which is harder, currently set at 4 all round but I'd like to feel the difference with different settings. Little dial clicky 4 piccy Does anybody know how to do it because I can't get it to turn, I don't want to force it! Thanks I am Leg End...
