a few points when my stop working:- IS it all lights (dipped, full beam and side) - - each are on different fused circuits If all, or just side lights working, maybe the switch - Take out and pull apart and and keen up all contacts, could also be a connection on the full beam/dip switch In cases when it was just dip or main beam not working, check behind the fuse box, as you may find on of the contacts or wires has popped out Also check the earth. I find it's usual a combination of the above

If had my Protech dampers (single adjusters) for circa 7 years and had no problems - Bought direct from the Protech and Kevin gave me a Friday afternoon deal with springs when I went down to the factory and he built them up there and then - good value Springs I went for were 250Ib front and 150Ib rear on a 1400 Supersport - these replaced the previous set up which had Bilsteins (admittedly these were leaking a bit) and 300Ib front and 200Ib rears - New set up suits me for the Road and I set the dampers towards the hard setting on the front and softer setting on the rears (I think there is 10 click settings from memory so I'm at 8 on the fronts and circ 4 at the rears) - In hindsight I might have gone a slightly harder on the front springs but not by much. For completeness I run R888R 185/60R13 on front and 205/60R13 at the rear

Thinking of doing some touring later in summer and therefore re-fitting my windscreen again and wipers (including the wiper motor back in) having been on Brooklands for the last 5-6 years I can't find the nuts which hold the wiper spindles/motor to the scuttle (just below the wiper arm's) - Does anyone have a clue on size of the nuts (look circa 1/2 inch to me although haven't measured them properly yet) - the car is a 1992 K series supersport so would guess it would be an imperial

PM sent in case they are still for sale

Totally agreed Stephen - although you may be showing your age with those clips

I'm also interested although behind Jetto PM sent

Sounds like the thermostat is jammed open - I had the same sort of readings on my supersport when I first bought it and found on investigation that the thermostat had been removed completely so it was a fully open system all the time - a sticky thermostat would have the same result

PM sent if these are still available but Hooley and Gridgeway first

I had a similar problem a few years ago on my 1400 SS and in the end I tracked it down to the key ignition switch - change to a dash mounted and solved the problem - was a lot of trial and error as it was intermittent which is the real pain and also usually cut mid junction or roundabout were you didn't have the opportunity to inspect the problem properly - just needed to get the car out of the way. P.S. Tracked down finally to ignition switch when it cut on a dual carriageway and I was on outside lane overtaking and found I had no indicators so went hunting under the dash - try flicking your indicators on when it next cuts

Hi Miker7 Welcome to the fun of Sevening Given it seems to get up to temperature on the drive, I think you may find that to avoid possible overheating, the thermostat may have been removed and therefor you have full on cooling flow all the time. I know a lot of people which track their k series do this. I know that was the case with my 1400 Supersport when I first got it, and when driving in Autumn/Winter on colder day I found I couldn't get up to normal running temperature (circa 80-85 degrees) - in winter it would show 60-70 before I refitted a thermostat. No doubt there are pros and cons of having thermostats (especially if you're worried on overheating) , but I'm just as uncomfortable with revving the arse off (and you have to with a 1400) a too cooler engine as fear of the thing boiling. You can get various thermostats from Rimmer Bros which open from 76 to circa 82 degrees - I've got the standard 82 degree fitted and it seems to work fine, as long as you bleed the system properly - I've never come close to boiling. The only way to find out is to take the thermostat housing off and look to see if there is a thermostat in there - of course there may be one in there and its jammed open. Good luck

I get the distributor cap and rotor arm parts from Rimmer Bros (Rover parts warehouse) who have a good stock for my 1992 1400 Supersport (ECU2) Re leads, I upgraded mine to Magnecor some time a go and can recommend, although can't remember where I got them from - I think direct from Magnecor although that was circa 4 years ago

R888R's on a 1400 Supersport - 185/60 R13 on front 205/60 R13 on rear - on 6 inch rims - I'm happy with grip and balance, although haven't tried the Nankangs
