I was amazed how heavy mine was when I took it off I'm looking for a lighter replacement

Geoff, I seem to be having trouble sending mail to your profile too. Can you book me a place for cadwell and send the forms to Many thanks Edited by - jimh on 27 Apr 2012 15:45:37

I'm interested in the Cadwell Park track day in April but I don't have an FIA rollbar. Is this compulsory for a club track day?

I purchased some epoxy based paint for my new garage floor before Christmas but like you I found out that I could not apply it in cold weather. I phoned the company for advice and they told me mine would not cure below 10C and actually recomended 15C. That is the floor temperature not the air temp so using a fan heater didn't seem a very good option. They did say they could supply a special low temperature version of the paint but I have decided to keep what I have. I didn't want to take a chance on it not curing so I am waiting until the spring before I apply it. I suppose it will give the concrete longer to fully cure before the paint goes on.

Caterham's service info sheet for the CSR says drain and replace the coolant every 24,000 miles.

There are a few threads that discuss this but has anyone managed to get slicks on a CSR using the original 15" wheels? It sounds very complicated to go down the 13" route.

They did a great job on my CSR. They have a photo of it in their gallery too.

Kingsley is a small village between Alton (Hampshire) and Farnham (Surrey)

I have not used it very much so I would say it is in good condition. I'm not sure I want to take much less than the asking price but I am happy for you to make me an offer.

Thanks very much for the answer. I already got another immobiliser fob from Ebay which I have managed to program and test. Thanks again.

This is probably a real numpty question but anyway, here goes. I want to get a spare ignition key for my CSR before I take it abroad. Is it possible to get one from CC or can I get mine copied by a locksmith? Looking at the key I have, it doesn't appear to have any numbers or other id on it and the paperwork that came with the car doesn't give me any clues.

Silly ideas time but ..... would it be an option to remove the mudguard temporarily just to get moving?

So if you carry a spare front wheel fitted with a 195x50 15 then you could fit this front or rear (using spacers at rear) and providing that it clears the front mudguard. Perhaps this is an option worth persuing. Edited by - jimh on 12 Jan 2011 10:37:17

That is exactly what I am planning as contingency plan B if I can't repair the flat or get a replacement locally.

Green & silver Q432### looking good in the sunshine, I hope you wash the salt off though. Nice hat too!

Thanks everyone for the replies, I really appreciate the advice. I think I will give up on the idea of a spare wheel and rely on a variety of puncture repair options and roadside assistance. I have ordered a new front and rear tyre from CC which I will store at home so I know I can get a tyre sent quickly should the worst happen. The tyre size calculator is great and shows there maybe some other options available locally.

Forgive me if this has been covered previously as I'm sure it must but I could not find an answer and I'm after some advice. I am planning to take my CSR abroad and I'm slightly concerned that I don't have a spare wheel, just a can of sealant and a small compressor. Is there any availability of suitable spare tyres in France / Belgium? I have heard that it is possible to carry a spare front wheel and use that on the rear too but that a spacer is required. I have read somewhere that you can damage the LSD by using a tyre of incorrect diameter, can anyone confirm if this is correct. Is it possible to fit a temporary tyre to get the car moving while waiting to get the correct one from CC? If it is possible then what sizes would be suitable for either front or rear? Rear tyres are: 245/40-15 Front tyres are: 195/45-15 The rolling circumferences are: -3.6% = 195/45-15 +2.4% = 205/45-16 -0.1% = 185/60-14

I PX-ed my composite Tillets for some Kevlar ones and I find them even more comfortable. The sides flex slightly giving a more relaxed fit (in a CSR anyway). I can also smugly eat all the mince pies because of the weight I have saved.

Is it possible to use a battery conditioner with this type of battery?
