Halfords oil filter: HOF213. MG/Rover LPW 100180 Mahle OC 237/1
-
Quoting Harolddude: Hi Nick, looked at it last summer. Thought it was a lot of money for a well used example. Thanks any way. AndyAnd it's still for sale............. Well-used example? 14300 recorded miles in 13 years?
-
Strange? I went from a 0% to 22% & much prefer the 22% rack.

Have a chat with a local aluminium fabricator, especially one who works in motorsport. Brise in Dartford not only doe auto elictrics they also do anything in aluminium. Come to think of it someone has to do this for Caterham???? Brise Then it's off to Think for hoses etc. This guy might help & can't be that far away from you: Andy Wiltshire

I've put various things in the dishwasher to clean including the bell-housing. However don't use dishwasher powder/tablet/gel as this is what will cause surface discolouration. Use automatic washing powder/tablet/gel.
-
My gold spare one is for sale Dave. I just looked it out & it says Caterham down the full length. Could easily be re-painted any colour you like.
-
My spare one says (I think) Caterham & is painted gold.
-
Why don't you paint it Dave? I did mine with gold smooth Hammerite.

Stick a camera up under the dash & take a pic. You'll then be able to see how the assembly goes together. Be warned though that sometimes the wires are too short so it's impossible to get the gauge completely out.
-
I told you not to polish it!
-
Might be useful? Sparkbright No connection & so far haven't bought anything from them.

Try these people: Steve Harris, Autoclave Services & Repairs Ltd. I used to use Steve for service/maintenance before retiring. He often has low usage autoclaves (Little Sister etc) retired from health authority/ PCT clinics. However be warned your tattooist will need to comply with all the H & S regs that every other health care provider has to abide by. Autoclaves are also inherently unreliable (mixing water & electrics always is) so a maintenance contract is a sensible option.
-
Don't use dishwasher solution/powder/tablets with aluminium. Use automatic clothes washing solution/powder/tablets instead.
-
Pah that's nothing. I remember seeing just the stub of the oil filter housing left . Oil filter gone the whole lot. Not my car & not too sure how they did it.
-
From my notes when I fitted new ones in 2007: Front wings fitted 2.5" back from front of wing. Fixings 3.5" apart. Outer hole in strut is 9mm in from outer edge. Use 5.5 mm drill bit. M5 aluminium caphead fixings bought from bike shop.
-
Quick rack yes. Widetrack.........ask the marketing department.
-
Look up the relevant British Standard for tyre repairs & then take it to a reputable tyre repairer & ask them to repair to that standard.
-
There are a lot of people around who I'd trust with my car: In alphabetical order: Andy Belcher Partridge Green Motorsport Redline Ben Rockey, The Classic Car Workshop, Pulborough. Chris Wheeler James Whiting Richard Young, Automotive Engineering , Uckfield These are people I've had work on my car or are close to me & have an excellent reputation.

Similar experience to Nick with 21's & 48's. Refurb the 13's & get the 70 profile 21's. Avons? Haven't a clue.
-
Quoting Peter Mears: Mick are you going 70 profile and do the 48s wear quickly? Yep moving to 70 profile. Expect about 5000 miles for a pair of rear 48's. Fronts last a little longer, maybe 7000 miles. About 4 to 5mm tread when new.
-
Get a quote from Polley but expect maybe 50% more for 185/60/14 21's. I've used 48's for some time but as most 7 driving is now for touring I'm moving to the 21's.
-
Small slide in the wet? You weren't trying Peter! Must be those Staffordshire roads to blame. 😬 Seriously tyres are a little old. 185/70/13 AO21's from Polley are about £60 each delivered so maybe hoik the also out of date tyres off the track wheels?
-
I take it you had a nice blat? Lot's of interesting traffic travelling West to East from......................................GFOS.
-
Quoting Jonathan Kay: There's an app for that There is also an Android App as well for those who live on the dark side.

I hope so as I've been doing that for nigh on 15 years now.
