After a set of half doors preferably in carbon vinyl without the poppers fitted. Also after an R500 decat/bypass pipe part number 39X031A Nick
-
Thanks Lazzer much appreciated.
-
Or if anyone has one fitted or on the shelf please can they measure the length and diameter of the cone at each end. I know the inlet size is 4"/ 102mm.

Does anyone know the part number for the K&N filter that goes on the R500 trackday airbox? Caterham list it but none in stock and there look like very similar/same ones on EBay for less money. Wondered if it was this RU-2590? Nick
-
Definitely sold, money received, thanks BenF

Sold to Ben F

Caterham Cars straight weave carbon aeroscreen to fit SV or CSR. Beautifully made. Mirrors not included although screen drilled where mirrors have been fitted. £738 new from Caterham( currently not in stock) £275 collection only(New Forest)

I also bought some Original Cafe Racer ones. Seem well made and E marked. If you are fitting them to the original headlight bowls then I assume you could use the spring clips although they may need shortening. 10 times cheaper than the Caterham ones and considerably cheaper than the JAL units. Would be interested to compare the light pattern between the two. Nick

No idea why every photo I post up on this site rotates either 180 degrees or 90?

Fitted the fusebox cover today. Had to trim it to fit and used a piece of channel to hold it in place with some rubber on the top. I bought a ready made lead with 12v socket from Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07R6FYX7N/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s01?ie=UTF8&th=1

Anyone else fitted one of these fuse box covers and did it need modifying to fit the bit that tucks under the dashboard? Mine seems a bit tight although I have got a main circuit board for the dash that may be hampering fitment? Nick
-
Thanks Guy, no access to welding or metal press so not an easy job for me. Bought some from Redline today as Chris seems to be up and running again. Did not think about Arch and not sure if they make these for Caterham, seems a bit of a small order to start bothering Bruce or Phil?
-
More information please Guy. What tools required? Welding required? How did you form the bend in the metal? Can you make others as it will cost me close to £45 from Caterham/Redline?

Alan Just seen the post from Chris. Maybe it would have been prudent to post up before he up sticks and moved so we could have given him some slack. Posted up something on his website or Facebook page or have an answer phone message to keep customers informed? Seems an odd way to run a business? As I said I want to support small businesses especially in the Caterham world. Nick

There are 14 relays on the board, gonna be lucky to find which one is sticking.

Thanks Andrew will probably order some. Ray, noted but just a holding email would have been nice after a couple of weeks and I did send a follow up email. Want to support Chris but also need to get an order in. Nick

Scott, finally had chance to look for the main board tonight. Being an R500 there is spare room behind the dash on the passenger side. It is situated here. All the plugs look well seated and the board looks fine. I would love to know who made it for Caterham and what the 9 pin D type plug is for, assume some sort of test rig connection? Nick
-
I cannot believe it, just bought one from Oxted, ahhhhh! Nick
-
Good question, almost impossible to say without removing the scuttle. In fact I cannot even locate the main board, it's not above the heater like Scott's car? From what I can see the car wiring is not the neatest.
-
Appreciated Scott. My car was purchased from Millwood and Jon has been excellent at sorting out some issues with the car. It will be looked at by them/ their chosen repairer but I am a little worried about the intermittent nature of the fault and the distance to the repairer so trying to work out if it has been an issue with other cars. From your post it sounds like the board can fail. Agree that it seems like a good idea to have a spare board. Nick
-
Thanks Scott. I suspect it does come through the board as the board has relays to control the higher current the switches cannot cope with. The tip regarding AV mounts sounds sensible. Do you have any photos of you fitting it? N

Hi Jonathan. Car is 12 years old with <3000 miles when I picked it up so not much use in that time. No battery cut off switch, going to get one fitted soon. Has a new Banner battery, charging I would say is normal(why wouldn't it be, not sure of the relevance, it starts and goes ok). No voltage problems indicating on the dash. What is the reasoning behind disconnecting the fan, it does not cut in until about 100 degrees anyway and car is not that hot when I go to switch it off? Nick

My recently purchased R500D has an intermittent issue that when I try turning the engine off the car remains running. I have replaced the Savage switch and contractor block with a new one which I thought was defective as the block was not fitting snuggly on the switch body but the car is still the same. Anyone else with a R400/500D had this problem? I am starting to suspect the instrumentation PCB, see link below. Seems to do it when the car is warmed up and the only way to shut the car down is the stall it and disconnect the battery. https://caterhamparts.co.uk/other/3751-instrumentation-circuit-board-r500-seven-485.html

Been waiting for a reply from Redline about whether they can supply these and not heard anything so went to order them from Caterham only for the LH one to be out of stock Anyone ordered ones from Kitcardirect http://www.kitcardirect.co.uk/caterham-s3-easy-swap-retaining-channel.html and where they reasonably quality and did they fit OK?
