strongy Posted November 6, 2002 Share Posted November 6, 2002 I recently read in some previous posts that the pistons on a 1700 SS Caterham-supplied engine are none too good and would benefit from being replaced. The car that I have bought has covered 34k miles and has not had new pistons (or any other major engine work). Should I be concerned or are there plenty of other owners out there with good things to say about this type of engine. I would appreciate all feedback good and bad. Along with any other useful tips ie - cold starting etc. Also I rang Caterham today to get an owner manual for a 1989 1700 ss de dion (not supplied with my purchase), but they no longer have any. Does anybody have a spare or unwanted copy? I will willingly pay for it. Many thanks Strongy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
