Help, I want to do a track day and dont know if my roll bar is FIA or not! Can't find reference to FIA on the original purchase invoice from caterham although it does state " rollover bar - track ". Am I to assume that would be an FIA bar? Can email image if anyone feels they can help. Many thanks, Andy

All the Haynes manuals I have see don't cover the 2003 Rover V.V.C engine. Have done the front timing belt, but is there a recommended proceedure for the rear belt? Suggestions or links appreciated. Many thanks

At 30mph my speedo reads 40mph! At 70mph it reads 100mph. Not only is it hard to guage my actual speed, but I am clocking up extra unnecessary milage. As I plan to use the car a lot this summer, I want to get it sorted. I realise that if the car was calibrated when fitted with big wheels, and you changed to smaller ones the speedo would read high. However my car is fitted with 16inch wheels, so if these are not those the car was calibrated with surely my speedo would read low. Have I missed something? Can I adjust or get recalibrated? It is an electrically powered speedo with digital LCD milage display. Can anyone offer advice?

Hi, Just bought my first caterham. SV Roadsport 1.8 twin cam, 160bhp, 2003. It has had a oil service every year, but no paperwork to prove anything else. Caterham say they will look at everything and do what is necessary (big bill probably), but I want to do some things myself. I want a mechanic to do the cam belt - i'll watch and learn. Is there a check list of everything you should inspect or replace. What about sump foam? Gearbox/diff oil? I have never done this before but am mechanically minded and keen. Thanks in advance.

Im new to this. I'm looking to buy my first car. I like these two. http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1983539.htm http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/2085304.htm I would appreciate any comments or advice on the cars, and if you think the price is about right. Unfortunately I live about 4 hours drive away so I want to be fairly sure before I travel. Many thanks

Hi I am new to this. I am looking to buy my first caterham. I am told that rust forms under the powder coating on the chasis where the coating inevitably gets damaged through stone chips etc. This is made much worse through winter use with salt on the roads. Small areas can be treated locally, but large or significant areas may require a partial strip down, or at worst a full strip down, sand blast and respray, or even a new chasis. I am also told by someone at caterham themselves that you shouldnt worry too much about it, as all cars get rusty, and (apart from 30 year old cars plus), they have never heard of any rusting that has got so bad as to affect the structural integrity of the car - it is just a cosmetic issue in cars up to about 20 years. I would appreciate any opinions. Edited by - andyvicarage on 6 Oct 2010 19:27:49 Edited by - andyvicarage on 6 Oct 2010 19:29:10
