    (Crossed with Ian's) Need to do some reading on the best way to refill avoiding airlocks. Quick summary of suggested methods and tips. There's lots on each in the archives. Let us know if you can't find what you need. Jonathan

    I don't think anyone has yet written an article comparing LSDs (or other devices aiming for ea similar effect) from the driving seat. But there are some strongly held (o)pinions. What's the feasibility of some back to back testing, preferably blinded? Jonathan

    IIRC You unscrew the track rod (using the flats) from the track rod end. how do you get the thin end of the boot on ? ... a piece of tape where it first makes contact to ease the slide, warming the boot, lubricant (although I'd use silicone rather than grease or WD-40), determination...

    Sorry, I'm not up to date on discounts. Always worth asking? Jonathan

    Full search of the archives: https://www.google.com/search?q=site:lotus7.club+silicone+oat. And thoughts about what might have kicked off the concerns. As above, that combination is what I use, and there's now a lot of Seven years of exposure accumulated between us all. Jonathan

    Same here. There's some discussion in the archives, I'll dig it out later. It includes one report of staining. My Seven has Comma G30 and Classic Silicone hoses, and I'd do the same again. Jonathan PS: Members are happy with all three major suppliers of silicone hoses. NB Club discounts.

    Works fine. Thanks Jonathan PS: Did you see the discussion of pdfs as inline images on BlatChat?

    That crossed with Ian's... any expert views comparing marking with counting turns? Thanks Jonathan

    There was a photo, but I can't find it: defeated by a combination of multiple threads and broken links, and, quite possibly, misspellings. I'll have another look. Meanwhile have you found this thread? Jonathan

    What would happen if a thermostat was installed the wrong way around? It wouldn't fit in the housing Does yours? Jonathan
  13. Jonathan Kay
    Have you got part numbers for those that don't fit, please? Thanks Jonathan

    The NY wire appears to go to Pin 25 of the ECU which is a 'Programmable I/O Pin'. Which ECU and engine? There's some very clever detective work in the archives... Jonathan

    I'd assumed that the open circle was identifying the physical layout of the connector (cf the one to its left above) rather than an electrical way. But I don't know. Could you have a look at the car and see if the connectors are different? A 'phone with a camera might be a convenient tool. Jonathan

    That's Green and Brown/Yellow. Brown/Yellow is usually "Alternator to "no charge" warning light". Green is usually "Accessories fused via ignition switch". So it's probably the dash end of that wire from the loom. Jonathan PS: "`Standard colours".

    - and by all reports neither does Chrome. Clearly Apple have implemented this (and perhaps some Linux distributions?), but these represent a small fraction of the total browser market, so no commercial website will ever use it. In case anyone's wondering how that squares with Tony's observation: Chrome and Firefox on iPad can see both. it's possibly because on iOS those (and possibly all other browsers) use WebKit. Jonathan PS: Thanks, Barry. :-)
  18. Jonathan Kay
    Yes. My guess appears to be wrong. I did point to your original observation, and I'm sorry if I didn't give it enough weight. Jonathan

    Thanks very much for doing this. Excellent quality scanning. And thanks from me, and also very impressed with the quality. I'll have a look at the wiring diagrams. (But the first K Guides had the old style diagram!) Jonathan

    Thanks, everybody. I think that we've got a pretty good picture (!) of what's happening. I played with Chrome on macOS but couldn't find a setting that made it work.I used a well-known search engine and found other reports, but no solution. That included the official support site for Chrome.I'm going to try not to use pdfs in this way when there's an alternative.Jonathan

    Thanks Jonathan

    Have you found the hints for the inspection? In addition to the list for ordinary cars: Handbrake adjustment just before.Hot recently-applied brakes.Hot exhaust catalyst.My rear high intensity light only works on dipped beam, but I don't know if that's the case for new Sevens.Make sure the bonnet is put somewhere safe, and not stood on end when it's windy...I'm allowed to sit in mine on the lift. And I have the propshaft joints greased while it's up there. Jonathan
  23. Jonathan Kay
    Glad you're up and running. I didn't expect perfection, but I do feel that the list of things which were faulty was quite excessive. You're not alone! ... something wrong with the handbrake not applying equal pressure. Current discussion. Jonathan
  24. Jonathan Kay
    I've sent a couple of emails with no reply... please could you check if they're getting through. Thanks Jonathan
