I read somewhere there's a special low profile socket you can use which I'll dig out. I don't know, please post the details if you can find one. I don't have the kit to grind down a normal one! Where are you? I'm pretty sure that someone helpful will be nearby... Jonathan

Always good advice. Can someone let me know what pads I need to replace them? Can't find this information in my searches. Lots in the archives, but no agreement. 1144 Jonathan
-
Did you find a solution? Jonathan
-
Road and/ or track? Jonathan
-
:-) Good time to run those three voltage checks, so that you can easily spot deterioration. Jonathan
-
Well done. Private Message sent. Jonathan
-
The Handbooks have this, NB it's a different tacho: Jonathan
-
That tacho is on the Caterham Parts site but I can't find it in a Handbook or Assembly Guide. Jonathan
-
Duratec engine, it was Raceline's development car originally! Aha! I suggest identifying all of the wires and how they are connected at the alternator... layout, colours and whether each is thick or thin. I have a pic of the tacho, but need to look up how to upload it... Start with the Forum User Guide, and let us know if you get stuck. Jonathan PS: I suspect that the mystery light is the unused ECU warning light... or dampness indicator.
-
Tacho has 3 lights across the bottom. Left is main beam. Middle is indicator and Right doesn't seem to do anything...yet!! There's a fourth light at the top that also doesn't do anything ... Can you add photos of the instrument and the whole dash, please. Jonathan
-
Which engine? Has this ever worked and just stopped, or never worked? Any recent work on the car? Check all of the connections at the alternator: look and wiggle. Is there a Brown/ Yellow wire? Do you have a multimeter? Jonathan
-
Moss might have a repair kit which includes the boot, something like this but I don't know if that's right for yours. I'd email them with the AP part number. Ditto Rimmer Bros. Previous references to that part number in the archives. Jonathan
-
Could you add a photo of your valve? Jonathan -
I wouldn't put stands or jacks in the middle of chassis tubes. Previous discussions. There's a vast amount in there, but only one serious difference of opinion, and that's about the front cruciform. Guide: Jacking Up a Seven. Would you like a copy of the Assembly Guide, which has notes on this? Jonathan

Those photos from #17 above:

The Powerlite PS-20 has been mentioned in a couple of threads. Powerlite's own page, including data sheets. 20 Ah CC(A) 630A Mass 2.4 kg Their price is £210 including a charger. Jonathan
-
Might it be repairable? That could be cheaper, and also means that it will fit the existing brackets and cables. Jonathan
-
There's a bridge? :-) Jonathan
-
... backed up by Ford advice that I can no longer find! Was that advice for a Zetec? But the nomenclature of recent Ford engines is very confusing. Jonathan
-
Recent discussion. Jonathan
-
I've not done anything to the car in a while or been here for even longer! This morning I took the boot floor out, with ease! Morphic resonance? Jonathan
-
Racks are Titan, who wont normally sell you parts as its a Caterham part....... and Caterham arent interested in stocking the parts.. ... I'm sure I read in the archives it shares parts with the mk 1 lotus elise rack and there was a set of repair instructions available. ... Yes, lots in the archives. That's why we need those wikis. But as second best:https://www.google.com/search?q=site:lotus7.club+rack+titanhttps://www.google.com/search?q=site:lotus7.club+rack+eliseRebuild notes from SELOC.Jonathan

I was going to quote "death and taxes". :-) Jonathan

A speedO(meter)? Jonathan
-
Alcohol marker works just fine Neat. I'll try that. Jonathan PS: Most commonly "permanent marker" in British English.
