Support Team Shaun_E Posted March 14, 2009 Support Team Share Posted March 14, 2009 Nice one Robin. I had hoped to get mine going today as well. Unfortunately I got the dreaded K click . I had a spare relay lying around so have bypassed the MFRU. The car turns over now but the battery wasn't exactly full of beans so I will have to wait until tomorrow to get the engine running ☹️. To rub salt in the wounds, Michael turned up in H5URF. I've still got to rivet the floor back on (guess I ate too many pies last year ). Where can you get appropriate steel rivets from? I need to get the car running for Llandow in a couple of weeks time. See you at Goodwood. Yellow SL #32 - member of Drowned Rat Racing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Englishmaninwales Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Brake fluid all over the garage floor.....don't ask.....one of those days ☹️ Edited to add...wouldn't have minded quite so much if it wasn't the expensive stuff!

Support Team Shaun_E Posted March 14, 2009 Support Team Share Posted March 14, 2009 Robin - thanks for the link - any idea what length would be best for the floor? 12mm or 14mm? Michael - that sounds like a nice healthy number. Malcolm - sounds like you had the same sort of day as I did - hope it goes right from now on. Hopefully mine will start tomorrow.

david nelson Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Robin good to hear your up and running. Got mine on the road 2 weeks ago but now off road again. Doing all the little jobs. Lovely day outside would be good for a blat but off to work I go. Have fun David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rgrigsby Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 I've been out a couple of times this year, it does feel great to get out in the car again. Off to the Pistonheads meet at Virginia Water next week then the Fastest Caterham in the World event before Goodwood, it's going to be a busy year 😬 Cheers Rob G www.SpeedySeven.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Support Team Shaun_E Posted March 22, 2009 Support Team Share Posted March 22, 2009 Had my first drive of the year this afternoon. 😬 Non-starting was due to the main power feed to the engine loom (the purple wire) disconnecting itself. Having stripped back the cable sheath I found the offending (dis-)connection and fixed it. Went for a short blat to make sure nothing fell off and, apart from an injector connection coming loose, everything remained attached to the car. Proper shakedown next weekend at Llandow and hopefully will be ready for Goodwood. Yellow SL #32 - member of Drowned Rat Racing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
