Mick Day Posted October 13, 2000 Share Posted October 13, 2000 Arnie My 6 speed leaked oil from new in 1996 & many returns to Caterham failed to stem the flow. Paul Harvey found the tail housing oil seal & bearing had failed necessitating a rebuild & new tail housing. Road & Race transmissions did the rebuild in 1998 & advised the car be jacked up as high as possible at the front to pre-lubricate the rear bearing. Now all the oil stays in the box. The theory is that whilst running in we are too careful & the tail housing bearing can run dry. Incidentaly Caterham wern't interested in helping with the finances as they didn't know who Paul Harvey was!!?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graeme Smith Posted October 14, 2000 Share Posted October 14, 2000 To remove all the concrete dust before painting, DON'T use a Hoover... It was taking ages with a brush, and in a moment of inspiration it seemed like a good idea. Never been the same since (although I reckon its Dyson replacement could be up to the job).

Anna Rexia Posted October 15, 2000 Share Posted October 15, 2000 Andrew, Did you manage to get your seven in the shed or did you have to take it to bits again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Russell Posted October 15, 2000 Share Posted October 15, 2000 Anna, I might not be in charge in the house, where wife,kids and hamster rule, but when it comes to the garage, that is a different matter. The shed is full of gardening equipment, paddling pools, chairs, lawn mowers etc. Anything remotely 'sevenesque' is most definitely within the inner sanctum of the garage, close to hand. I have to have somewhere to escape to in the Winter. Andrew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
