    Yes absolutely, not worth that compared to a new one (although I think it may be a R500K magnesium one). But just because it’s ‘well hammered’ on the outside (from pictures no apparent cracks, the flange, windage plate location, oil scavenge and feed ports look ok) doesn’t stop it from being perfectly serviceable. You should see one of my weld repaired ones!

    Titan Motorsport contact is 01480 474402 Address is Unit 3 Harley Ind Park, Paxton Hill,St Neots, Cambs. PE19 6TA. They can refurbish the gold pump, provided the gears are not worn/damaged. I had my spare pump overhauled in 2021 for £151 including VAT and carriage. Malcolm

    Sounds like you have a choice available, but if using the gold scavenge pump, the standard* submarine pipe is fine. The one shown on the CC list is for the earlier purple pump with a larger drive pulley. * Just make sure the J coolant hose connected to the sub pipe is rotated to give enough clearance.

    Yes, of course Regin, I missed the word ‘scavenge’ in the title.🙂

    Think Automotive made my replacement dry sump pipes. You just need to supply the detail of lengths you require and the thread/angle of the end fittings. Quick turn around and not a big expense. Malcolm

    Well done, astonishing work Andrew.

    For sale: A pair of front calipers to suit Caterham pre approx 2004. These are Type 14 twin piston calipers as fitted to later Triumph Spitfire. These were supplied to me by Rimmer Bros in 2022 and used for 900 miles until recently, so are in excellent condition and function normally. I have since had my original Girling calipers refurbished and re-fitted, purely to keep originality. They are £147 including VAT from Rimmers. Looking for £90 or offers, plus postage. Note: brake pads/retaining pins/R pins/anti squeal shims are not included.

    From my experience this is likely to be an air lock. I’ve had that several times over the last 20 years and never had a failed stat. You can remove the stat and fit a top hose stat as you suggest - QED supply a kit, if slightly expensive and requires correct plumbing of it’s bypass hose, but it works fine and makes coolant refills much easier. Thr bottom hose is unchanged, plumbed from the radiator to the existing black stat housing. The original stat is removed and replaced with a steel ring, comes with the QED stat kit. 82 deg stat is just fine. Malcolm

    Try Turbo Technics - they now hold the AVO business after they went bust. They may be able to make up a pair for you. Very good customer service, they recently refurbished a pair for me / much bettef than the original AVO company

    Kmaps.co.uk will uprate your ECU (EU3 only) and keep it MOT compliant. This keeps the existing 1800 configured withVVC mechs. But 160 is as far as you can go keeping this configuration
  15. Englishmaninwales
    The EU3 VVC with K Maps ECU gives a nice upgrade circa 160bhp..

    You just wait, Tony, until you’re an OAP like some of us😂

    Maybe a separate forum heading “Listed For Sale On Other Locations” to allow sellers to list on eBay and the like and for alerts for items for sale?

    Great day Sunday, thank you to the organising team. Thanks too to all for the help in getting my fuel pump going despite a further failure. Investigations ongoing!

    I’ve had terrible stuff from Burton over the years, the worst were twin cam engine block oil gallery plugs that were BSP rather than NPT…twin cam new timing chest castings that were seriously inaccurate. But worse still was their attitude to it!

    Hi Dom, In addition to the other checks suggested, take look at the main engine loom power supply - there is a brown to purple spade connector in the loom bundle just behind the dry sump tower. Well known for being loose and causing engine drop in/out. Malcolm
  21. Englishmaninwales
    Hi Mo, apologies for the late reply, yes these are still available. Malcolm

    Well done Lewis for 2 class wins, 2 records and FTD on Sunday.
  23. Englishmaninwales
    Andrew, you have a PM.
  24. Englishmaninwales
    Hi Adam, Yes, there has been a discussion and bookings, have a look through the ‘Anglesey’ thread below. Malcolm
  25. Englishmaninwales
    Indeed. I replied to the email earlier today expressing a similar view. Malcolm
