Has anyone come across an App for the smartphone which works like a PMR but uses the mobile network? I am sure I read something about this last year but cannot remember where! Be interested to explore that more. Private Messages sent.

The upload worked, and the resolution is great. But it's a pdf and we know that some browsers won't render them when others do. The next post is the same as a JPEG. If anyone can't see it well enough please let me know.

213 Performance has been appointed as the factory approved service and repair facility for the STACK brand in Europe by Auto Meter (The owners of STACK). We complete service and repair work (Including warranty repairs) to factory standard, using original parts and equipment at our workshop here in the heart of the UK's "Motorsport Valley". As former STACK employees we have between us over 50 years of experience. STACK has enjoyed (and continues to do so) many years of partnership with Caterham. Over those years there have been many variations, and part numbers supplied. Some have been factory programmed to Caterham specifications, and offer limited capability for the end user to change configuration settings. Also adding to the confusion is the fact that dash's are retro-fitted by customers. Regardless of being a Caterham spec dash, or a generic STACK supplied unit, there are 2 manuals which should help the user gain the maximum from dash's fitted to their cars. With the Caterham specific configurations not all functions, or menu options will be available: Street car spec - 3 "window" display, with speed always in the middle: https://www.autometer.com/media/manual/2650-1764.pdf Race spec - 4 Windows: https://www.autometer.com/media/manual/2650-1760.pdf Without putting the "hard sell" on - We can reprogram Caterham spec dash's to generic STACK spec. This "unlocks" the full functionality of the dash, and all menu options are then available. Depending on the age of the dash, there may be variations in the type of sensors used in the kits. Earlier dash's ran a resistive pressure sensor. The earlier resistive pressure sensors are known to fail with vibration (We always recommend remote mounting the resistive sensors). Later dash's were supplied with a solid state sensor that is much more reliable and can be direct mounted on the engine. All sensors are still available as spare parts through the network of STACK distributors. We can help with part numbers if required. There is third spec of dash fitted to the R300/420R race cars. Whilst it looks the same, it is a fully configurable, data logging dash. Broadly speaking, dash's supplied to Caterham for installation in new cars were supplied without wiring looms. Caterham integrated looms from their own supplier in to the main car chassis loom. Because of this, it is very difficult to offer any assistance relating to wiring on Caterham loomed cars. Cars that had the dash's retro-fitted would be using the STACK supplied looms, and detailed wiring schematics are available. All of the dash's are fitted with an internal battery that backs up the configuration settings when power is removed. STACK specified those batteries to last for approx.. 5 years. Our experience is that they last considerably longer! Should owners encounter a "Mem Batt Low" message on initial power up, its time to have the battery replaced. We can perform that service here at 213 Performance. We are always happy to help owners answer questions, or offer advice. As enthusiasts ourselves, we do not believe in the "hard sell". We also love talking about cars! The best thing to do is to give us the Model and Serial number of a dash. We have access to the factory records, and can see the service history of most STACK products. I know that getting the serial number can be a pain in a Caterham. When I was younger I spent a lot of time hanging upside down in car footwells. Now that I am older, I use a mobile phone - Normally you can get a good enough picture of the silver serial number label on the back of the dash to identify it. One final thing: STACK dash's should NOT mist up! They should be sealed, and contain a gel pack that should absorb moisture. Condensation is not good for electronics. If an owners dash is misting, then we should be able to solve that problem. It is definitely not a case of TADTS.

As I am sure you can imagine, there have been so many variations over the years, its not an easy question to answer. Please let me know if you need any more information. Best regards, Andrew.
