Interesting contributions. So is it the mapping that is causing these failures? In 28 years of motoring I've never had one of these sensors fail on another car. Huw
-
Makes me wonder whether all that over-fuelling that gives the popping and banging is ultimately damaging the lambda sensor?
-
Sigma 125 engine. Just replaced the second lambda sensor at 12,000 miles. It was very sooted up. Mine is a '07 car and to be honest the mapping has never been great. Could this be why the sensors are failing? Is it worth getting Caterham to update the map (being an early sigma car I presume Caterham would have evolved the mapping software)? That would at least be cheaper than a full rolling road re-map. It also seems no one has the ability to access the ECU other than the two Steves and I'd rather avoid the hassle and expense of travelling to them. Thanks in anticipation. Huw

Well that's what they looked like... Lots of strangely dressed white witches, druids and hippy types at Avebury early this morning as I blasted through. I think they enjoyed the sight and sound. Well I was encouraged by the vigorous hand gestures on their part. May have to drive through later on tonight to make sure.

At about 7.00 this evening heading towards Swindon. Reg LX64***. Oh, and with orange stripes.

Heading south through Wroughton on Friday evening at about 5.45pm. Huw

Still there. If you can negotiate the Magic Roundabout I think you could manage most obstacles.

Traversing the Magic Roundabout in Swindon this evening at approx. 7.30 - green with reg **FDP. Edited to get the time right.

That was me on my way to collect my son from Cherhill. Lovely day if a bit chilly. ETA:- Metallic silver with orange noseband.

Hi Geoff Mine were replaced last year at 11,000 miles. Speak soon. Huw

Jan I have my Sigma looked after by Neil Garner Motorsport in Kemble. Not that far from you and very reasonable and knowledgeable. Give them a ring. -
Quoting manningpaul: Saw it this afternoon parked in Marlborough, maroon HPC? If with clams, then yes. Looked very well cared for.
-
Recently replaced mine with one from Radtec. Many have.
-
Just come back from picking up my eldest and saw yours in the car park. Are you a Pinewood parent or were you visiting for one of the matches?
-
FWIW it looked like he was looking after it. Hope he enjoys his trip.

Between J15 and J14 at about 6.00 this evening - hood up.
-
I have a full hood and half-hood. I wouldn't say that the former makes entry any easier - just quicker to put on and suitable for most conditions. No experience of the easy access options.
-
Taken off an '07 car having covered 11,000 miles and with some fluid loss evident - but not sure exactly from where. Replaced with Radtec alternative rather than trying to repair. Core looks fine. No idea on value. Radiator is in Swindon.
-
I believe they are different - the K and Sigma radiators. I am told that I can get rid of the cowl or shroud? Do they even fit them to current cars?
-
Recently I ordered a replacement radiator for my Sigma powered SV. I got no joy with Radtec direct but ordered one of their radiators via Seven Speed. It was shipped direct to the garage who are doing some work on my car. I thought it would be a straight swap. That appears not to be the case. Apparently the inlet and outlet points are fouled by the radiator shroud. Anyone have any relevant experience they can share? Thanks in anticipation. Huw

Followed you out of Cheltenham this afternoon on our way back from La Vie En Bleu at Prescott. Looked a bit breezy without side screens. Huw
