My Roadsport came with 2 part wheel nuts. The slopey bit being separate to the main part of the nut. Over time, the two have bonded together. I saw something suggesting this could be a problem, but apart from aesthetics (scratching the wheel when the nut is tightened) are there any other issues? Jez

Where in Oxfordshire are you as this could work.

I know someone looking for 1 6x13 but they won't have any interest in the 8x13, but if you'll split? Jez Edited by - Z3MCJez on 21 Mar 2014 20:11:22

Steve - I'm stunned you didn't break any big heads in a year with Edna. Maybe the batch I had wasn't up to it, but I would never use them again on a track car. Jez

Having seen a number of track Supersport engines expire from oil starvation, my mantra is that if it's not breathing a little, it needs a bit more oil. Don't rely on the dipstick reading alone. Jez Edited by - Z3MCJez on 4 Mar 2014 14:12:10

As above. Mine were stolen. The new ones don't look as good as the old ones. What have you got? Jez

Ho hum, For the sake of £20 I'll order a spare. Would feel pretty stupid if I couldn't get the car running having travelled half way across the country. Jez

Thank you Classic1952. That's perfect! Jez

On the race car version, I got 2 plain keys and 2 fobs. If necessary, I will enquire about getting it removed, but it would be easier to have a replacement 99p part, if it can then be re-synched. I'm sure Roger will let me know here if taking it off is outside of the regs! Jez

I have this immobiliser in my Caterham - Immobiliser Does anyone know off hand whether I can replace only a fob (I still have one, but I have had the second one stolen). There is no possibility of the original fob coming back into contact with the car, so I'm not worried about the security issue - I do think it's wise to have a spare fob though. Thanks in advance! Jez

As an aside, I can't understand how you've burnt through the packing in 6,000 miles. I've had more than that on a race engine, so constantly run hard, with no real deterioration. There were some map issues on 2008/09 Sigmas that led to premature deterioration of the cats (they burnt themselves up) - have you checked your cat? I wonder if you need a newer map - Caterham did this all for free on the race cars. Jez

And don't try and drill the sill protectors using the pre-drilled side skin holes as a guide. That is a sure way to frustration. Fit, mark, remove, drill, refit, rivet. Or don't bother and save some weight. Jez

Mankee You won't need these seats until your little man is c. 10kg (9-13 is the overlap). And he must be able to sit unaided before you switch from a rearward facing. Rearward is generally safer, but my second couldn't deal with it. My first stayed in rearward until he was nearly 13kg. However, I think the "Young Sport" are really well put together seats. Only disadvantage over some of the other Recaro range is that they are not compatible with ISOFIX. But I don't think that many (any?) that go beyond age 4 have that functionality.

Thanks Andy - I'll pass as I will need one in the same colour to avoid sibling fights I don't actually need it for another year yet either, so this was always going to be opportunist. Jez
-
I might be interested in a "Young Sport" if you have one in grey. Or shadow, I think they call it. They're available from £110-£130 now. Jez
-
Do you know which of the exhausts it is? There have been 2 for the Sigma engined cars. One has a very square leading edge of the can, whereas the newer version has a rounded front. Jez
-
You should be able to fit the ARB after the radiator, so it can be changed. But it wi be easier to fit first. Jez
-
My wife might kill me, but please let me know what he is looking for. Jez
-
The handling will be a bit different but the main change you'll need to make is to lower the ride height. The AO48 profile is taller. I run a bit more front camber in SigMax than I did in Supersport as there is no upper limit, whereas the limit us -3 degrees in Supersport. Blatmail if you want to know more. I've raced both setups. Jez
-
And this may be a really dumb question but I presume you test the complete unit - I.e. Spring and damper?
-
Simon If someone put a set of, say, race Billies as used on the Supersport, in the post to you what would it cost to get them tested? Jez
-
I have two old headlamps which presumably have the bit you need? The glass is shot so they're no use as headlamps without new glass. Jez
-
Well, welcome then I've never heard of that in a Caterham, but I have seen it happen to a motorhome (not mine). I would never have believed it unless I saw it, but it was repeatable ... Jez

Whatever speed you drive at when you compete, it's 100% to you. So if your car isn't right then you will be slower. It's like saying, it's understeering, but I don't believe in changing the roll bar settings so I'll live with it Jez, wondering whether his 3yo suspension should be tested ...
