From the archives, but I don't know how many different types there are. And running that the other way on "MHK1006" as a check gives these. Jonathan
-
Have you got the part number already? Jonathan
-
Previous suggestions. Jonathan
-
... to purify water... I wouldn't put that in the same category. It sounds implausible and I'm not at all convinced but there are some observations that do need explanation. Jonathan

... and on what the factory did, with a repeated suggestion that the latter only consisted of resetting the distributor. Weale: Jonathan

There's quite a lot in the archives on individual conversions, including who did them and how much it cost, and on what the factory did, with a repeated suggestion that the latter only consisted of resetting the distributor. Jonathan

Engine rattle from something attached to alternator belt
Jonathan Kay replied to Scotland North AR's topic in TechTalk
Thanks Jonathan -
So I asked Caterham Parts directly: Your question: Is this a Dzus fastener or something else? Thanks Answer: Yes, effectively this is a dzus fastener but only used for quick release number plate mounts on a 620 Regards Jonathan

Engine rattle from something attached to alternator belt

Glad it's fixed. But I'm not sure why you're attributing the fix to the last change... did you listen for the rattle after each of the preceding moves? Jonathan -
Can you see a wire in the receptacle, and can you post some photos that are better than those from Caterham Parts? ... You could always use a spot-face drill if you have a drill press, to recess the QR stud into the plate slightly. Similar thought, but if you go all the way through either accidentally or deliberately you could glue a piece of eg aluminium strip to the back of the plate with holes in it that pass the shaft but not the head of the fastener.

https://www.yokohama.co.uk/Tyres/Motorsports-Tyres/Track-Sport-Tyres/ADVAN-A021R Is that because it's under Motorsports, rather than for use on public roads? Jonathan

Bounce. I don't, and I can't find a definitive answer in the archives. But here's what I'd do: Find and post the part number that's on the cylinder.Add a photo of the old male here and/or use this web search.Look inside the cylinder fitting and use this web search.Ask Redline.That's in no particular order, but if I could only have one it would be 4. Jonathan

I’m sure there has been much discussion regarding this, but I cannot get any past threads via the Search Function. If you post the questions/ search terms here in English I'll run the searches. (Or try the second link in my Signature below.) The Yokohama 021r is still a good all round tyre, great in the wet, I'm sure there must be something newer than this though. "A021R to be discontinued!" Jonathan
-
Another exemplary piece of discovery, design and documentation. Thank you Jonathan
-
Sorry, I don't understand. Which one are you trying to fix? I suspect that the wiring for everything that you need is already there up to the connectors... Jonathan
-
If so is pedal height adjustable ? You can adjust each pedal fore-and-aft between set positions. Have you already got the relevant section of the Assembly Guide? Then you can bend the pedals. With a cable-operated clutch you can also adjust the height as part of the cable adjustment, but there are other constraints. And on my Seven the throttle pedal was still too low and I had to bolt a block on top of it. Jonathan
-
I figure it might be more difficult to get into the out of reach areas. Had to read that twice, thought you meant the IoM! :-) Jonathan
-
I can never remember how that is set up, but here's what happens on *John Vine's and mine. Jonathan * Although that was recently discussed...
-
Condensation badly in the speedo and a bit in the Rev counter... As above. There's a fix that improves ventilation: carefully sawing a slot in the case of the instrument. Previous discussions. Jonathan
-
Edited: Crossed with #3 above. Reverse light - When you put the car into gear, the light comes on but then goes out again. It seems sporadic into how long it stays on for. Any ideas? Hmmm... lots of possible faults. Have you got a multimeter and the appropriate wiring diagram? All other circuits OK? And it does it predictably? Start with the easy bits: Have a look at the lamp unit because it's accessible: open it up, look at the connections, wiggle, take the bulb in and out. Try a temporary good earth. Then the reverse light switch and connections at the gearbox. IIRC there are two different types of connectors used.Jonathan PS: Do any Sevens have a relay for the reversing light?
-
I'd start by exploring underneath the rear of the car: what connectors can you find and what colour are the wires connected to them? Jonathan PS: This is the 1998 Superlight K? What's its history?
-
...and bolt directly to the floor! Previous discussions including that warning about the bolt angle and stress. Jonathan
-
Thanks. Wiring up comes up through the tacho, but I can't work out if it's just a connector or adding the sweep. It would be nice to disconnect one of the instruments, jury rig it, and see. Haddock: This could be useful in fault-finding as it helps to identify a single point of failure for two different instruments/ circuits. Earths are common candidates for that but yours staying on when it shouldn't doesn't sound like that. Jonathan
-
Anyone, please: With this type of instrument is all the clever stuff inside the instrument itself? And are the electrical connections the same as on traditional instruments? Thanks Jonathan
-
I'd investigate further. But I don't know how those modern ones work (the ones that do the sweep). Have you got a multimeter? And a wiring diagram: if not let me know if you'd like one. ... For the temperature gauge: with the ignition on what happens when you disconnect at the sender, and when you short the sender connection to earth? Jonathan
