    "I did find a purple/Yellow disconnected wire near the fuse box. Wonder where it is supposed to be connected?" Purple/Yellow is often "Horn to horn relay". Do you know if the horn is original, and does it work? Jonathan

    "I wrote a RaceX review for LF a few years ago." And here it is. Jonathan

    Inspecting the connectors and wiring at the alternator is always a good idea. But I wouldn't expect a fault there to take out all of the instruments... Jonathan

    Any work done or changes made before this happened? What sort of ignition system does it have? It sounds as if you're losing electrical supply to the ignition system and the gauges. So check connections at the battery and the battery and engine earths and have a look at the ignition switch and its connections. Wiggle each while the engine is running and see if you can reproduce the problem. If you can't then inspect, wiggle, disconnect, clean, reconnect. Have you got a multimeter and would you like the wiring diagrams? Jonathan

    Just checked on a Caerbont Caterham rev counter: M4. Jonathan

    I wouldn't assume it's the same thread on all instruments... ... but you can get them in several sizes here on Ebay. Jonathan

    There's a vast amount on hearing protection in the archives: products, experiences, problems. Including a fair bit on noise cancellation. Anyone fancy knocking it into a Guide? Jonathan

    This sounds right to me. As above I'm not convinced by the composition of the coolant as being the cause because: 1 It doesn't seem to fit chemically. 2 We don't hear about leaks becoming more and more common over time. (But of course this is all anecdotal.) And apart from that I'd still optimise the coolant for the engine rather than the radiator. Geoff has made the point about the physical location of the radiator. It needs to be mechanically unstressed, and this might require bending the support brackets, enlarging some holes, and packing with washers. Persuade anything except the radiator. Jonathan

    Yes, but in my case... "they", as I'm up on the lift. And they have their own grease gun! :-) Jonathan

    Thanks Jonathan
  12. Jonathan Kay
    That's encouraging. Was there any moisture down there? Jonathan

    : - ) Jonathan

    Thanks for the answer. Sounds like progress. What's showing between the radius arm mounting and the spring/ damper mounting? Is it a crack? Jonathan

    There's quite a lot in the archives on problems with the fork, but I've never been able to work out which are at risk. Jonathan

    The 1988 Assembly Guide has fitting notes for that and this diagram: If anyone would like a copy please let me know. Jonathan

    1 The wells in which the spark plugs sit. 2 The lambda sensor. Experts, please: is this one of the situations in which disconnecting it as a test is a sensible tactic? Jonathan

    1/4" UNF... or M6 1.0mm! How about removing the one that's there and measuring it? https://www.lotus7.club/forum/techtalk/long-grease-nipple-prop-shaft-uj https://www.lotus7.club/forum/techtalk/grease-nipple-snapped-propshaft-uj https://www.lotus7.club/forum/techtalk/standard-prop-uj-bearing-grease-nipple-thread Jonathan

    Me too, but without the RaceX logo. Works OK, but I've never checked it against anything. ... AutoExpress: "Best digital tyre pressure gauge 2020" Jonathan

    Thanks. Someone's going to need that information someday... Jonathan
  21. Jonathan Kay
    Is Purple/Red switched with the ignition? And is Red/White switched with the sidelamps? Thanks Jonathan
  22. Jonathan Kay
    Thanks Jonathan
  23. Jonathan Kay
    And the wire colours, please. Jonathan

    I don't know what determined which Sevens were wired for a rear accessory supply. Some have been found by scrabbling around... Jonathan

    Green/Purple sounds like the brake lights. That could be the installed wiring for a high-level brake light rather than a power socket. Jonathan PS: If you use it to power the intercom you could explain why you're braking... :-)
