  1. Excellent Condition. Was bought new from Caterham by previous owner and had done c. 5000 miles when I had it replaced with a 3.6:1 as it was quite busy with the 4 speed box. Complete in "pig nose". £150 ono
  2. Thanks SLR. I already have one of those but the power source is not what it was.. and I like a gadget. Jonathan - The inflator would be garage based
  3. I'm going to ask Santa for one of these. Should I go for a De Walt one which attaches to the battery I already have with my drill (cost c.£130) or a stand alone one e.g. Ring (cost C.£60)? Thoughts/experiences appreciated.
  4. I have an 8 month old 360S the open BMW diff in which gets too hot to keep my hand on after a drive of say10 miles at c.70mph. C.C. told me that this is not unusual and I wonder if others here have similar experience with or knowledge of this?

    Single Tillet Seat

    Thanks KelvinH. I checked it out but it's the older design and doesn't have the runners. Not sure if the current ones available from Caterham would fit.
  6. A bit of a long shot I know but I'm looking for a single composite or carbon S3 seat in good condition.
  7. Handwheels, I assume they straightened it up for you?
  8. Thank you Jonathan. I've downloaded this but am no wiser.
  9. I've just noticed that the top of the steering wheel on my new (factory built) 360 is a few degrees to the left when the front wheels are pointing straight ahead. I could leave this to the 1st service but if it's a simple fix I'll have a go. The (non quick release) boss doesn't want to come off the column. I see there is a splined universal joint adjacent to the steering rack. If I loosen the clamp bolt would the column pull out and go back in easily? (in the correct position). Thanks
  10. FAO Tom_Arundel. Tom I sent you a BM earlier but am not sure if it got through. If not, the mirrors arrived this morning and very many thanks for them. Best wishes, Alan

    360 Coolant

    I need to top this up and can't buy the recommended Motul stuff locally. I have some Comma Super Longlife Red OAT left over from my previous (Sigma) car. Would that be OK? Or Ford Superplus Premium? Thanks
  12. Jonathan - I'm not sure a photo would help as there is nothing to see. Speedtrip - I'll try that if all else fails. Tom - Mine may be a different design to yours. It's a new car and the quality looks inferior to the the ones on my previous 7. The screw holding the mirror body to the arm goes into a nut held inside the body by a spring and bowl shaped washer. I can't see how to re-combine the 2 main parts without gaining access to the inside of the body. I'm in East Kent and may be in the market for a mirror!
  13. I've managed to separate the main body from the metal arm (don't ask). Is there a way to open it up so I can re-attach it? It's not obvious. If not, anyone know where I could buy a replacement ? Caterham don't list them. Thanks
  14. Its polished and in almost like new condition having been on my car for less than 100 miles. £100. Collect only from Canterbury. NOW SOLD
  15. My Roadsport 140 has always done this in the seven years I have owned it. The level goes up after hard use then down again after pottering. There are no leaks and I came to the conclusion that air is being entrained in the system at high revs then making its way out with gentle use. I haven't yet heard a more plausible explanation!
  16. Does anyone here have experience with the Softbits cap with hooks and can recommend them?. I was happy with the Thundersport version for my trailer light car but they don't do one for new the new models. Thanks
  17. Hmm, some mixed messages. Thanks all. I'd be grateful if someone could provide an actual measurement though as I could compare it with my current car which has 80mm clearance and has never grounded. The new car is a standard S so won't have adjustable spring platforms.
  18. I have a new one of these (S3, 13inch wheels) on order and have noticed a couple of negative posts on here about the ground clearance. Before I look into switching to 15 inch wheels is there an owner who could give me an actual measurement to compare with my current Sigma car? Thanks
  19. Does anyone know where I could buy some please? . I can't see anywhere selling the good stuff on Google. I'm happy to pay an expert to apply it on the tricky bits but would like to save a few shekels by doing the flat or single curvature bits myself. Thanks
