Hi Is there a CSR or SV owner within a reasonable distance from Daventry Northamptonshire, that would not mind me taking a dimension to postion the rear wings as I am re building a CSR and have had it re skinned so now no fixings holes or riv nuts? Thanks Andrew

Hi I use Comma LSD oil (COML S80W901LS.) in my CSR 260 diff with a ZF plate LSD. The oil is designed particuly for Automotive Limited slip differentials. Price £3.60 a ltr plus VAT . You can order it from most automotive oil suppiers. I get it from NAPS Northampton just round the corner from Cosworth. Hope that helps Andrew

Yes, you can get a brand new crate 2.5 duratec here now. You want more torque? You can buy the engine in Coventry and Simon at Ultermate perfomance can supply steel rods and pistons Andrew

That looks a nice car, My previous CSR 260 was the same colour. I sold it and wanted to buid one myself. In the UK you will not get much change out of £50 sterling for a new one, even if you build it yourself as Caterham would let me have a kit. However there was one the same age as mine on ebay that had been used to drive to spain and back and never really looked after. I went to see it and there was nothing wrong with it structurally and the drive train was fine, had done 14,000 miles. I got it for £18K with 2 sets of wheel and other goodies. I am actually a mechanical engineer so rebuilding it is not a problem, just time. I will soon be looking at the power plant as the car is coming on now. Ford do not do the 2.3 durarec any more and have replaced it with a 2.5 duretec using the same block bored and stroked. I am considering selling my Cosworth 2.3 and building a new 2.5. To be honest it does not take much work the get 260 BHP but torque is much more usefull. Andrew

Hi Croc, Thanks for that, I must say it does look diferent. That looks some machine you have there? I can see you have some type of undertray beneath the tank and maybe something at the sides. Have you any more details on that? Andrew

Well spotted, you will go to the top of the class one day? Andrew

Thanks gents, the advise is good. Sorry I have not replied. Company xmas bash last night. Ok has anybody got a picture of there own? I am rebuilding a CSR 260 back to prestine condition. I have gone to a lot of trouble ensure every part is as new. Powder coating all steelwork and additional items such as fuel tank ect, nickle plating and reskinned. I have even updated the frame to take the third diff mounting. It has been sprayed WRC blue and is looking good, want this to look right and not affect the resale value or ability to sell it. Thanks Andrew So really need to consider this. I also want to put a third brake light

Please can some body measure for me the distance between the reversing Light and Fog light from inner face to inner face on a late csr of sv. Also the underside distance to the bottom of the body, (new body forgot to measure this when stripping, now it is re skinned I want to ensure I get it righ) Thanks it would be appreciated.

Hi, I mailed last night as soon as you put the items on, requesting details for the roll bar and carbon front wings? Rebiulding Csr 260 Andrew

has the sump got any broken fins and how worn are the fins

The pressure rgulator is outside the tank but all rest inside. Andrew

Sorry, Yes the pump fits in the top of the tank and is inside. Andrew

PAIR OF CSR ALUMINIUM LOWERED FLOORS WITH SUPPORT BRACKETS which have been cleaned up and some strenghtening done by welding. They actully look quite good and I was going to put them back in my CSR but decided on new powder coated. Offers Also have all cockpit internal aluminuim other than back sheet, if any body wants it. If not it is heading for the scrap bin.

PAIR OF CSR BARE WINGS OFF 2006 260 IN GREEN, Usual stone chips but no real damage. Can be suppied with Stainless Guards however they do need a polish. Price £60.00 for the pair of wings. Andrew

Does anybody know where or what car does the CSR 26o fuel pump come from. Andrew
