They look the same and the markings are almost identical. Just a thought, car headlights are designated LHD or RHD, I wonder what a single light scooter would be?
-
Sorry I don’t know the number but they should last the life of the engine. K&N recommend cleaning and re-oiling every 50k miles.

New replacement lights I expect at £617 each plus fitting https://caterhamparts.co.uk/headlights/5675-headlight-black-led-lhd-cars-53-4-diameter.html

I think (please check if you are interested) this is the same as the Caterham part. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/334784099661?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=Jm3zt573R3i&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=N1mAWR0DS2q&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Tear Down and Rebuild of My R400 Duratec Engine
StevehS3 replied to aerobod - near CYYC's topic in TechTalk
Wonderful attention to detail, James. It will be a superb engine. -
Very nice!
-
I haven’t noticed it do any harm to gauge. Perhaps the heat from the little lighting bulbs helps them clear.
-
I tried using my previous Google search technique which failed to produce a decent result. I searched on heater control extend. It seemed to work better before. See attached
-
Here is a test for fun and a ‘real life’ type of search I might do. There have been several posts over the years about extending the heater control to make it easier to reach. Best technique to find it? 😀
-
Same here. I prefer to drive the 7 to and from track days. It is all part of the experience and the day for me. For circuits further away I really enjoy blatting over the day before and camping over.
-
In case you haven’t spotted this one. Nothing to do with me.
-
Interesting topic. Does the actual engine itself get hotter (due to the lack of heat dissipation) or is it cooler by insulating the headers? Even with a well insulated engine bay I am surprised by how much heat comes into the cockpit. It’s a bit much in the summer but I am glad of it in the winter!

The Banner is 8kg and 30Ah. The Varley is 5.5kg and 15Ah.

When washing the car I spray the side screens with a waterless wash detailer to help with grime slide off then wash them first before risk of grit on the wash mitt. It seems to have kept the scratch-free.
-
Is a 2018 car likely to be carbon or sintered plate?
-
I agree, James “killing it through kindness”. I set this up when I had a stubborn dynamo problem which I later resolved. I very rarely need to use it these days.
-
I bought this 10W panel and it is superb. Sadly it seems to have doubled in price! I use it with a lorry size battery and it keeps it topped up with ease. I think 5W would be enough for a Caterham or even a normal car size battery.
-
Couldn’t agree more. I only had a cam belt changed at PP (although there is a lot to remove so not to be underestimated) and it was a joy to watch them working on the car. Such care and attention from all the staff.
-
The sintered plate type should last much better in a 1.6 with 152hp. Having said that I wouldn’t fit another Titan. I didn’t like the clatter and the service interval is completely unappealing to me. Also, there is no getting away from the design flaws such as over-flexing of the Belleville washer.
-
This is the ‘official’ position regarding upgrading from 270 to 310 and also the engine changes from 135 to 152hp. Taken from The Magnificent 7 (Chris Rees). S=Street ie more road biased spec R=Race ie more track biased spec
-
Thank you Simon. I will give the search a go next time I am needing something.
-
One other question, is it possible to recover the previous message from the previous site? I only have new messages received after the changeover. Again, apologies if it has already been asked.
-
What has been achieved is a vast improvement and a credit to those involved with it. Thank you again. We are fortunate that a group of members have dedicated so much of their ‘spare’ time for the betterment of the website and the club. I have been wondering about the best way of searching the forum for information; I am usually looking for an answer to a technical query. Is this still best done via a search external to the website? Apologies if this has been covered before!
-
Please could I have this if it isn’t sold. Message sent
-
I think mine only discharges into the the catch tank when the oil level is right at the max and on track. I don’t think it generally has much in the way of oily vapour going into the tank.
