    If it's a new (or recent-ish used) it's what Ford currently brand as 'Duratec Ti-VCT', which is the latest generation of 1.6l engine from the Sigma family. The earlier versions of that engine were known as Zetec-SE and are what Caterham used in the smaller engined cars once the K-series finished. Zetec/Zetec-E/Zetec-R are what Ford variously called the Zeta family of engines, some of which do appear in Caterhams when swapped in by owners, usually as an upgrade from a Crossflow. The Sigma family are the 'other way round' so you have to swap over exhaust/inlet sides on a Seven that has had a Crossflow in (or indeed a K-series) to upgrade to a Sigma.

    Earlier this year a few of us did some detective work into Duratec fuseboxes (it was January...) the results of which are documented in this thread https://www.lotus7.club/forum/techtalk/fuse-identification-2010-superlight-r400-stack-dash

    Makes sense. Other to the tacho, the other main connector like that its the link to the engine loom.
  4. Dr Slotter
    I'm going to guess that it is a box that is occasionally connected between the main harness and the tacho for the purposes of 'optimising' the signal when somewhere near a noise meter...

    And that is because it has about 3/4 of the cross-sectional area normal to the flow.

    A Bilstein refurb pretty much means they will replace any components that are worn out or have failed but won't do any comestic work. I imagine they would if asked though. The important bits are as good as new. They will do the bushes if asked but I think they make them specially rather than have a stock of every possible bush size. I had them do my fronts last year and other than it taking a bit longer than expected because they had to make a new component from scratch for me, it was fine. Perhaps two weeks turn around, I can't really remember. If you give them a call they'll tell you how busy they are.

    I discovered this a few weeks ago but have not got round to ordering any yet to be 100%, but I reckon equivalents are Mann W77 and Mahle OC11.

    A big group of cars passed a friend of mine earlier on the Loch Kishorn to Applecross road. He and his wife would have been two up on a motorcycle (I assume his Harley).

    Presumably CC definition of a 'few' is more than mine is! It certainly had it by the end of 2011. My car went through a similar process at CC Midlands to the one wjblundell described a few posts ago.

    Mine was built in May 2009 and CC seem to think it had the old-style Ford diff in it for a few months and then got swapped (previous owner).

    ...or photos!

    Sorry, I really meant "move the battery to where the airbox currently is and then not use the airbox". I get a photo...
  13. Dr Slotter
    My car was one of the first to be fitted with the BMW diff and never had any leaks. It's been refilled at least once.
  14. Dr Slotter
    To use the old-style alloy plenum I reckon it'll be much easier to swap the location of the battery and airbox and use an appropriate K&N that fits. You might need a new throttle body too, but I'm not familiar with the layout of the plastic plenum/single throttle body setup.

    1) Followed you into Glossop off the Snake and then saw you again at the bottom of Holme Moss/Woodhead. 2) You drove past as I was sat on the front beer terrace of The Ball having just left my car at home.

    Might be easier to buy a stepper motor.

    There are these one on the CC parts store http://www.caterhamparts.co.uk/product.php?id_product=1229

    Normal R300 spec. here which hardly uses any oil on road or track.
  19. Dr Slotter
    I'll have a look when I'm back in the office on Friday. Can you email me to both remind me and to give me your address!
  20. Dr Slotter
    I think I've got a spare Dash2 you can borrow for a bit to see how you get on with it.

    My side repeaters are earthed to the wing stay.

    700newtons - have you looked into the appropriate level of Greenpower?
  23. Dr Slotter
    You should be fine with a 100psi range.

    I can vouch for the engineering of Bremont... I help them do some of it!
