  1. I used to sit a bit too high in my previous 7 in leather seats, my sight line was to the top of the door and not through it, a lowered floor made a huge difference
  2. @Wrightpayne - I was thinking I should have just asked here I'm looking for the correct fitting kit for lowered Tillett seats and how long the bolts are as standard as I want to try tilting the seat, my current bolts are cut down to improve ground clearance
  3. Anyone used this on the Caterham website? I tried and got absolutely no response from Caterham, so is the Ask An Expert a waste of time or was I just unlucky? BTW Caterham the information quality available on the parts website is woeful, hence me needing to clarify something by trying to ask
  4. Sorry I'm after a set of 13's rather than anything bigger
  5. Still looking for a set or even a pair of spare wheels
  6. Many thanks Tom, I'll take a look at this
  7. Hi all, thanks for the advice. I had the pedal apart at the weekend so hopefully all fixed at that end. On the throttle, can someone send a photo of what I should be looking at on the throttle body? Much appreciated
  8. Looking for a spare set of 6" Apollo wheels for an ex-Academy Sigma car
  9. It's a 2018 ex-Academy Sigma, same as yours if I recall BTW that half hood is great, throughly tested it yesterday and it was super easy to set-up, very happy with it :-)
  10. Nothing has been done for a long time. I was out in torrential rain yesterday and did wonder if water ingress could be involved at all.
  11. The Sigma gave me a fright today, had my foot on the floor overtaking up a big hill on a dual carriageway. Lifted off after the overtake and the throttle remained nailed to the floor. Luckily the road ahead was clear and I was not coming up behind anything else. I tucked my foot under the pedal and it lifted. I guess I'm looking for sticky action at the pedal or other end of the cable but the fact that the throttle can stick open in any circumstance is frightening.
  12. Many thanks everyone, I've now collected the one Dixa offered me this week
  13. Thanks Simon, will be in touch, much appreciated
  14. I see that people like SBFS quote a different half roof depending on roll bar set when buying a new half roof. On my car the full weather Caterham roof still fits over the Academy cage, does this mean any half roof would actually fit well enough if it was from a car with the standard height roll bar? I see them come up for sale secondhand occasionally and was wondering if I could just get a normal one
  15. I've booked on to the Castle Combe novice group. I heard good things about this event so it seems the ideal way in. Have only done the Top Gear track in my previous Caterham at Dunsfold a few times. So a first proper car trackday, have done motorcycles but quite a few years ago.
  16. RRT rebuilt my LSD and it's got their oil in it
  17. Oh no, here we go again
  18. Longacre 0-30 but don't let anyone use it on any other cars..
  19. Many thanks, have done that and will source a few more spacers for the front in due course to try as well
  20. I took my drivers seat out to have a look, it seems I have about 12.5mm spacer at front and 7.5mm at back - not sure if that is the standard set up? So I think I can tilt and lower it quite a bit still? Can I just remove the 5mm rear spacer and raise the front or leave rear as it is and raise front? I'm running the normal adjustable seat runners. Thanks
  21. Ah good idea, but can't believe they'll be much cheaper though
