Hi, is anyone else off to the Laon Historique this year? Might be nice to meet-up?

I've fitted the 'Zero Noise' filter & done a good road test. I'm happy to say very pleased with the result, so can recommend! Obtained from 'DT' with Club discount too.

Thanks Andrew, I had seen this too, Starcom went out of business in Jan 2022 so I understand. Looks like the Zero Noise filter it is! One on order now & will report. David

Thanks for link in #7, that looks like it's what I'm after. Not in stock

In reply to Jonathan, I have an R300 with Duratech.

Jonathan The power is taken directly from the battery & runs down the tunnel to the boot where the Starcom is mounted, the earth is in the boot too.

After several years with a Starcom intercom SWMO has decided that there is too much 'noise', this comes & goes with alternator load, lights on/off etc. So my question is, does anyone have any advice experience of what 'noise filter' for the power supply would be worth getting? Thanks David

PM Sent, cheers David.

I'm with some of the others here regarding Northern Spain. We've done the Picos de Europa twice & the Pyrenees all in the Seven going from Portsmouth to Santander. Two of us nine nights each time, all packed into a Seven. Couple of places that were worth it, Santillana del Mar, Fuenta De, Cangas de Onis. On the way to the Pyrenees you could visit Pamplona, we went as far up as Bielsa famous for the Tunnel that goes to France. Carcassonne is a town we had hoped to get to, another time we hope! Enjoy!

Thank you! A great set of photos!

In reply to Blue7's question/s. I fitted the Caterham FIA battery cut-off 'kit' as I had heard that the load imposed by the immobiliser would, as with the Banner cause the battery to go flat over time. It was not an easy job, although help with some info (template etc) from JK certainly did help! Had to do some of this upside down under the dash & in the end I had to remove Speedo & Rev Counter to get access & finding the correct wire for the ignition was not straight forward. It was worth it in the end as it now has a 'proper' cut off for Track-Day use & security. Not to mention that thus far at least, I have not had to charge the battery. I've have had a few bits from 12v Planet for our camper & found them very good, but you do get everything you need in the Caterham kit, extended cables etc etc & would vote for it as the way to go.

I fitted a JWM battery 'Kit' to my R300 Duratec in the middle of last year. All went OK, although as already said the terminals are opposite to the Banner so I had made a new earth lead & fitted an FIA Type isolator. The battery voltage dropped from 13.5 in October (when I took it off the road) down to 13.4 in the early part of April, it has not yet been on charge!

We would like to add our thanks to the team for arranging this years program too!

Just a thought. Would it be worth wiring in a 'Cig Lighter' type socket direct to the battery & then using a plug in USB charger converter? You can then charge the battery with the USB removed & importantly without the trouble of removing the bonnet.

Thanks all for help & links etc. I just now need to find the correct ignition feed from the starter button (I don't have an ignition barrel) Caterham say there 'may be' a loop in the loom near where the switch fits...... Cheers David
