How long would you recommend between cambelt change? (years/miles)

Thanks everyone for suggestions so far. The problem seems to be related to the light switch and head light flash switch as operation of either seems to reset the immobiliser and sets relays buzzing. Does this suggest a faulty switch/switches? I have also seen a small black sealed unit wired off these switches, is this likely to have anything to do with the immobiliser? Any suggestions gratefully received. Ta Jonathon, I have a wiring diagram but not sure if this applicable to 1998 SLR, if you have one that you could forward that would be most helpful. Btw where is the starter relay?

Hi Richard Have checked the live and earths to starter/solenoid, all look good and tight, and all connections to main red power feed cable at battery etc. One other clue, on last start up engine suddenly died on drive as though loss of elec power? Makes me suspect loose connection etc but have checked everywhere and not found anything obvious. Is there any other relay that could be faulty? Agree I need to get hold of a multi meter to check power. Thanks for being as helpful as ever. Simon

SM25T Thanks for reply, not got voltmeter but may have to purchase! There is a click in black box on scuttle panel (next to ECU) so assume this is working???? Does this give any more clues? Cheshire based

Can't start 7 (SLR K series) Battery charged and power to dash, immolbiliser etc, no starter motor activity (no click). Suspect issue around battery cut off switch? Problem briefly occured last week, quick giggle of battery key wiring and all ok. Now checked battery key wiring, tightened wiring terminals/bolts, WD40, no significant signs of corrosion, checked ECU fuse etc but still no luck. Have also pressed/checked 'bump switch'. I have read about 2 relays but not sure where or how to check them. Any advice would be helpful, cheers.

Really dissappointed. Could not log in on 7/6/15, website would not recognise my existing password or even my email address to reset password, no sign of email address to contact club/moderators and no answer from tel nr. Left tel message and still no reply 2 days later. Website has mysteriously now allowed me to reset password. Thanks for your help. Would be a good idea to at least have an email contact on the site.

Hi Clive Have been building a new house just outside Tilston for last 4 yrs and 7 has been in storage. Just taxed so should be out and about this summer. 😬 Where is home for you? Sak

Spotted at the speed shack of Mr Willett! Was told you use it everyday so no more excuses for me.

Thank you all for you advice, much appreciated. Will try new pressure cap first, presumably this one here By the way, fan is not running when hot and excuse my ignorance but what is HGF? Cheers

K series recently overheating and blowing coolant from expansion vessel. Car quickly cools and quickly reheats. Limped home with heater on full blast! ☹️ Am I correct in thinking it needs a new thermostat? Some research suggests they don't all have a thermostat?? , and if it is located where I think it is it looks like a pig to get off. Any advise/suggestions (apart from learning something about engines!)? Cheers
