John: Are your bobbins made with a separate stud at each end? Thanks Jonathan
-
-
Thank you Jonathan
-
Thanks for adding that experience. I don't think that anyone has previously suggested thermal expansion of an otherwise well-fitting radiator as the cause of failure. That's a very interesting idea. Did you ever check the fit in the brackets and the mechanical load from the hoses? Jonathan

Discussed here, with the history. Jonathan

"As I need to top up the antifreeze, I intend to install a bleeding T Piece first. I know it needs to go at the highest point in the circuit, but where have folks normally installed the T Piece as being the highest point?" I think that the long run to the heater valve is most common. Jonathan

Wiring diagram or tips for replacing burnt-out immobilisers
Jonathan Kay replied to gileshudson's topic in TechTalk
Sorry, Giles. There's been a late season rush of electrical problems! Now a smidgeon of space in my inbox, but you should already have a pile of attachments by email... Jonathan -
The shortest summary so far, with a hierarchy of plans! See you over there? Jonathan
-
-
Yes, up to the line. But with appropriate precautions to avoid leaving air in the system... would you like a summary? I use "Comma XSM5L 5L Xstream G30 Antifreeze and Coolant Ready Mixed ". But I'd be happy to use the same concentrate. Jonathan
-
As above. Plus.. are there any previous data? Please could you add a photo of the exhaust system. Jonathan
-
"... yes that's the the thread, I spent hours searching but couldn't find it" Only just spotted that. Here's the search that I would have used: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=site:caterhamlotus7.club+upright+caster+trunnion Jonathan

Jonathan Kay replied to gileshudson's topic in TechTalk
I have the Caterham wiring diagrams and IIRC some Sterling notes. Please send me a Private Message with your email address. Jonathan -
On fluids: do you know what's in there? And which categories are compatible and which incompatible? Once that's established I'd be happy to use anything from a well-known producer. (No comment on brake pads.) Jonathan

Diff stuff from Alcester Racing Sevens: access,plug removal, filling. (Now only on the Wayback Machine so links to images might not work.) Jonathan
-
Diff filler plug: Try an L shaped key or a piece of sawn-off key in a wrench. You can improve access by jacking the suspension and removing the boot floor. I'll add some links when I'm not on a bus. Jonathan

Thanks for adding the answer. Jonathan
-
Yes, it's come up a few times. But I don't think that anyone has previously questioned the source... From the archives: /forum/spark-plug-condition /forum/techtalk/sigma-warning /forum/techtalk/620s-engine-cutting-out-very-heavy-rain /forum/techtalk/plugs-and-duratech-warning ... includes Sigmas and your experience in 2017.

This is the photo that I thought that I'd posted. From this thread, but NB it's a K. Thanks again, Ian. Jonathan

Did I mean multiply x 2? Jonathan

"I worked which replacement switch to use - its in an old thread somewhere. Purchased from Rimmer Bros": Part number: https://rimmerbros.com/Item--i-LR039638P Previous discussion and fettling instructions: /forum/techtalk/ignition-switch-failure Jonathan

Caterham Parts say that the column lock is the same for "all cars"; https://caterhamparts.co.uk/switches/6567-steering-column-lock-all-cars.html And on Ks it's a Land Rover/ BL part... and Rimmer Bros stock them... and Ian WrightPayne knows the number... Jonathan
-
What colour are the connected wires? And can you add a photo? Thanks Jonathan
-
Thanks Jonathan (No problems with fumes in my 1800 K.)
