Hi I'll take the 2.5 one, thanks

Stu YHM

Used heated screen with chrome surround. Limited use with some tiny marks but no chips or cracks. £50 Collection or 'gonads'

Good condition used genuine Caterham S3 tonneau cover modified by SoftBits for Pre S type seats with headrest pockets and petty strut opening, covered by a velcroed flap. (note the opening suits the later type of petty strut/X braced rollover bar) £50 Postage £10.00 or collection

This car is fully track prepared and used exclusively for the last 4 years as a hillclimb and sprint car. It provides an excellent introductory car for this type of motorsport. I bought it to provide my son and daughter with the means to start racing and my daughter obtained overall 2nd in Class 1 in the Loton Park Hillclimb Members Championship in 2010. It benefits from the following specification: Current MOT and SORN 1991 standard 1.9 GTi engine, fully serviced, minimal oil consumption, standard non baffled sump, steady idle with standard injection system with shortened induction kit. New cambelt 3k miles New starter, New battery New cerametallic racing clutch New uprated engine mounts Quaife ATB differential Standard 1.9 gear and diff ratios No sunroof OMP bolt in cage Sparco driver and passenger front seats Willans 6 point drivers harness Willans 4 point passenger harness Removable steering wheel Quickshift gear linkage Flyoff hydraulic handbrake (currently has standard handbrake fitted for roadgoing/MOT purposes) Lowered suspension Polybushed front suspension New Koni adjustable front inserts Negative camber lower suspension arms P/S quick rack Front strut brace Eibach springs Refurbished rear beam Adjustable rear Leda dampers Braking system is standard late GTi, modified to front/ rear split with compensators removed and replaced by a brake bias valve. Benefits from 1 new rear calliper, new master cylinder and much of the pipework replaced. This car is in an overall good condition but is not pristine and requires some minor body tidying. The body shell is however sound. The wheels require refurbishment and it will need a new set of tyres. The interior contains standard 205 (non GTi) rear seats but otherwise complete with original carpets and is watertight. The drivers electric window requires overhaul. The current rear silencer box is non standard but is fully serviceable. This car would require the uprated engine mounts replacing with standard items if to be used regularly on the road. Price includes a spare engine of unknown condition and sundry spares. Also available separately is a BJ twin axle trailer.

Have you got any petrol containers left?

Either make one and seal it as you describe or alternatively I found a pack of 5 gaskets on eBay . Check the fixing bolts are not too long. Malcolm

I found that the water rail was leaking because one of the threaded holes in the cylinder head was abit short and the bolt needed shortening Malcolm

Excellent weekend. Well done to all class winners. Looking forward to next year!

Rob Nice run *thumbup*

Adrian Let me have your address and I'll put 2 in the post Malcolm

Hi Kevin Green 43/743 Thanks! Malcolm

I've had a snapped nut using MB's and short studs That'll be at museum corner, then, Richard 😬

Any recommendations on B+Bs and hotels? Edited by - Englishmaninwales on 13 May 2011 15:51:29

Quoting Stationary M25 Traveller: I wouldn't change the studs. Hub nuts would be a good idea. Those studs look very expensive. Are they the right ones .... 32mm or 40mm ? They look like older design, hence little stock and silly price. No need to do bearings unless mega mileage or play detected ? You may have fun with the shallow headed bolts on the discs ..... plenty of postings about this if you search. Edited by - Stationary M25 Traveller on 12 May 2011 21:31:39 Hub nuts definitely, as single use only. You will need to replace wheel studs if they are the short variety and you are using the car for motorsport. The short ones do not fully engage the open wheel nuts and will be picked up at scrutineering.

My 1400ss played up after I looped and cable tied the unused lambda probe wire spur to the engine loom. All sorts of erratic running problems. I guess it was getting an induced voltage which the ECU was seeing. Cured after I unclipped it. As above, I suggest resetting the ECU. Another problem has been arcing in the HT king lead connection at the coil.

Speak to Darren, I got one recently from him

Try resetting the ECU

2 entries will be going in tomorrow
