  1. HI, just sent you a chat message. Wondered if you have now sold the mini or if it is still available? Thanks Paul
  2. PM'ed you re Billies, discs and brakes. Thanks
  3. Hi John the bolt is hanging out. So likely the bang I heard was the spacer going down the road. Any pics so I can check? Anyone with a K series online that could oblige me please. Thanks.
  4. Might seem like a daft question assuming not damaged the thread , any chance of swarf getting into the block or is this sealed so just a thread to secure alternator and no need to worry? worse case scenario re tap the thread if it won't go in from spinning for a few miles? It's literally hanging on by the peverbial thread with the Apollo hose stopping it from dropping off. Although I stil think I lost something when it happened? Would a drop in voltage cause a misfire / exhaust to have a burp ? With the ear plugs in I could not tell
  5. Crank pulley and belt is there. Spacer? What does this look like and where should it be exactly?
  6. JV trying to post but keeps coming back with an error... Will have another go with a pic
  7. Sorry yes it was the red ignition light. oil pressure is 2bar so normal although I could try starting her up again to check?? oil is on max on the dipstick as I check levels each and every time I go out. water temp as electric is always suspect sometime it works other it does not so always gone but oil temp usually between 60-80. Fan kicks in at 90 something and the oil temp is always an indication for me that I need to open the heather up and blow off some air. Clutch ok alternator and starter motor in place BUT alternator pulley is hanging out of the engine block. Looks like it's come loose. i can rattle it! Good Bad Ugly??? Is it just a tighten up or could I have damaged bottom end? any idea of torque setting for bolt assuming I have not knackered the thread and it's just come out?.. Would explain the hunting as not charging?
  8. Hello Just finished a morning run out all seemed find no issue with power and running smooth. last 2 miles I pull away hard in first (unusual for me) and accelerate through the gears. All pulling fine until I slow down and hear the engine sounding like a bag of bolts. It also sounds like something fell off but it could also have been a couple of pops from the exhaust?? The Red warning light is on and it's hunting. Managed to limp it home but it's struggling to idle. When I rev it the engine just rattle. 1600 K series DVA with all forged internals. Bottom end ? bearings ? or Pistons? Any my thoughts and help would be greatly appreciated. its done 22k miles.

    S3 Half Doors

    Vinyl. Caterham Half doors to fit S3 Car. Used Good condition. Has some popper holes from being fitted previously. Also a small repair to the vinyl, back mid section. You would need to look to see this IMHO but I can send photo's if anyone is interested. £120 + P&P Or could meet if your near me (Bucks). I also travel to Leeds, Nottingham, Manchester, Bristol and Glasgow regularly, so could meet there or somewhere near if this works better. I will be at Stoneleigh today and can bring with me if your there. Thanks for looking Paul
  10. That's £8k not £8 all we will all have a few :)
  11. Continuing the MX5 thread for a second ( maybe start a new post) if you want bang for buck both performance and sound I would get a MK1 or 2 Mazda and go with this. Reckon you could get yourself. Fun but if kit for £8 to £9k... http://www.rocketeerltd.com

    Blue T5 JP*

    Seen you a couple of times now while in the tin top. Your about 1/4 mile away from me if you ever fancy a run out or joining us at Penn 7's.
  14. Recent trip to France and back has resulted in lumpy running on the 7. 1.6k DVA conversion with all steel internals and Jenveys. Was running sweet as a nut and still does once it's started until it gets a little warmer at which point I feel as though I am down on power and its massively overrunning ( lots of loud pops and bangs from the exhaust). What's your problem I hear you say!? I dialled this out for a better tune (emerald ecu) but it's as if the tune has been changed. No lambda (97 K) with Powerspeed exhaust. Checked TB's and all seem to be balanced with a small drop on one but this has been like this since the initial tune. I can can only assume something has changed due to motorway trip down and back (4k Revs all the way). Could it be electrical gremlins or something wearing in the engine? Any ideas? thanks Paul
  15. hi anyone know the size and where to get the 3 bolts / screws that fix a Momo steering wheel to a lifeline quick release boss? Thanks Paul
  16. Perfect! Many thanks now adjusted the pit by 300mm which would give enough width (900mm wide) Failing that it's inner of 790mm to work to ensure I don't park the 7 in a hole! I can always add more bricks. cheers
  17. Hi just building a new garage and am installing a pit. Does anyone know of can measure for me the inner dimensions between wheels front and rears. I need to know the pits not to wide and won't fall down it! fyi I am running 8 's on the rears. cheers paul
  18. Darren, I'll take the quick release hub/ boss please. Can you post me a pic to make sure its what i think it is. Many thanks Paul
