Yes, I used it on a blacktop. I'll PM you my contact details.

Laser camshaft timing tool for Ford Zetec.Laser tool reference 3096. Only used once, in original packaging, £5 + P&P

Not in a position right now, but just the sort of car I'd like in the future - looks great. One question though - why the heater?

Thanks Steve, have revised the title and description.

Edited based on Steve's comments below. A pair of windscreen stanchion mounted mirrors fitted with fairly basic large plastic mirrors. £60 ono plus postage

Now sold, ironically it's going to Germany!

Another BTTT, price reduced to £9750.

Thanks Nick. I've not driven a standard Vauxhall engined car, but my former colleague who owned one drove mine and said he could immediately feel the difference. Still available (unless the chap who viewed it Saturday is more of a genuine prospect than I suspected)

Thanks Juju. BTTT

After a lot of thought, I've decided not to take my car with me to Germany in a few months. It's been a great car and I hope to get another one in a few years time. http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/caterham/all-models/1997-caterham-7-vauxhall-8v-blydenstein/3235500

When I collected my 1.6 Vx from its previous owner, I got about an hour into the journey home and it cut out. I'd sit for 10 minutes or so and it would restart, only for the same to happen another 10 minutes down the road. I thought it could be a blockage in the carbs, and so removed them, ultrasonically cleaned them and rebuilt with new gaskets etc. Only for the same thing to happen about an hour after taking it out again. This time though, I was pulled over on a quiet country road with no other noise around and could hear the unmistakable sound of air leaking from behind me. I twigged it was a vaccuum being created in the fuel tank and the fix was drilling a small hole in the fuel filler cap underneath the catch. The previous owner had replaced the fuel filler cap after losing the previous one, but it wasn't vented and neither was the tank. Your issue may be completely different, but at least this is an easy one to check.

Thank you both for your help.

Although it'd be nice to have the design figure, it doesn't actually have to be overly accurate - just wanted it as a frame of reference.

Does anyone happen to know the centre distance (distance between lay and main shafts) for the Type 9 and/or the Caterham 6-speed gearboxes?

Not yet. I moved back down at the end of last year and have managed to forget or be busy for each of the meetings so far. Now the car's up and running again, I've got no excuses so stuck a reminder on my phone.
