Phil Bishop Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 I've had Sevens for about 5 years now and I've always felt to silly to ask this. But I'm getting to the stage where I couldn't look more daft if I tried, so .... The brake warning toggle/light on the dashboard. How does it work? What has happened if it suddenly lights up? What does it indicate if you flip the toggle and light comes on? Or doesn't? I.6 SS, 6 Speed box, BRG/yellow stripe and Brooklands! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dickie Normuss Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 I *think* if you toggle it and it comes on it means the brake fluid is low VX HPC - Loud and proud here Watch out, whatever hits the fan will not be distributed evenly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick Day Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 *idea*If you press the brake warning light all it does is test the bulb in the switch. 🙅🏻♂️If the light comes on when the ignition is on it means the brake fluid is low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom_C Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 you can test the whole circuit by pressing the top of the master cylinder cap too. That should also make it light up.

Nigel Riches Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 Tom C, some of us with more eldely cars don't have the fluid level sensor in the reservoir, just got a plastic cap to play with. ☹️ 1982. 5 speed, clamshells.

Peter T Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 I see you all read the caterham handbook when you bought your cars then? No wonder we get questions like oil levels. There is a lot of usefull information in the handbook. ( whether it is accurate is another thing) R500 Mango Madness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

susser Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 read the handbook ?? I'm the bloke who shakes all the bits out of the box. Puts it all together and finds it's a Food Blender. Pulls it all apart again, finds the instructions, reads them and assembles it, correctly, as a Trolley Jack. As Sprog says "RTFM" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter T Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 So the conclusion is we are all blokes then when it comes to reading instructions Clearly we all know everything about the car then. So where are the jacking points on a 7 then ??? R500 Mango Madness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
susser Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 Peter As I said to Sprog last night (we're doing Snett on Sat and he's got a TVR) "got your towing point sorted then have you ?" "Dunno where it is" "Well we better find out, 'cos the recovery guy probably don't know either" Your point (almost) exactly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
susser Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 As for jacking points; Caterham told me the A frame attachment point in the middle of the DeDion. Book says different. I don't believe the middle of the cross on the front is best as it's being used as a beam. At the side is better as it's the point of a vetical triangle. Caterham said "inboard third of the bottom wishbone. But I guess this is a whole thread hi-jack on it's own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
