I have the first SGS one on your list. Works well with the Caterham. Struggles with the tin top.

That is indeed a useful service. Can you get a heated windscreen replacement offer done as well? This sort of thing is what owners clubs should be all about.

£107.49 + VAT for those then.

UL4 C232 x2 = £250 + VAT = £300. Mintex 1144 pads (Lotus Elise) £60.28 +VAT = £72.33. AP Uprated master cylinder 13/16" £330 . Total upgrade £702.33 plus shipping and brake fluid.

How much do the calipers weigh? I like my HiSpec Ultralite 4s. 925grams each compared to over 3kg for the originals. £125 each from HiSpec. Have always performed well. Nick

I have used ATE super blue in the past and changed to ATE type200 amber but the super blue is not for road use because of the dye so does not meet the dot4 spec.

Did you get it sorted?

Read this. https://www.lotus7.club/forum/techtalk/demystifying-k-series-starter-solenoid-circuit I would disconnect the battery. Then disconnect and clean the solenoid leads, reconnect them, reconnect the battery and see if it starts. Seems to be a number of different issues with the starting wiring on K series cars caused by poor design. Nick

Matt black or satin black. Normally satin black powder coat.

Was watching a Petrol Ped video on Youtube at a Bruntingthorpe vmax event and they did 160mph in a Caterham 620R, the yellow lego one with a standard non FIA roll bar, now that just seems idiotic to me? Nick

Rub it with dirt, stick it in the boot and if you get stopped say it fell off just 5 minutes ago. Works for many, not something I do myself but my 3/4 size plate may end up with a bigger fine.

Yes me and Mark Calvert in his red K series. We were meeting another member in the Hotel. Nick

I spoke to someone at Caterham at the Autosport show shortly after Owain built his IRS R500 and he said that it was a good experiment but was assessed as providing little benefit over the dedion set up and I think he said it was heavier? Regarding dedion tubes, my original one circa year 2000 was a great lighter than my replacement. When I spoke to Bruce at Arch Motors he said the gauge of tube had been increased from 12 to 10 which I assume was due to failures? A titanium one would be nice.

Probably, if it's connected directly to the battery, just check the wiring. You should have some smaller wires connected to the battery trace them back or disconnect one and see if the cig lighter socket stops working, or use a meter. Normally the wiring has an in line fuse. Nick

Well I suppose we have to guess the price although I am fairly sure most realise a private sale is normally a few grand less than a dealers price. There is a brand new unregistered 420R advertised privately on Pistonheads for a fiver under £37K, so he may take an offer for a little less? No idea of the spec differences but I assume this is the sort of money they are going for? https://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/caterham/all-models/caterham-420r-s3-brand-new-andamp-unregistered/9921949 There are a couple of 2018 420s at G&P for just short of £40K, so as a dealer normally has a warranty attached and adds a bit of piece of mind for some people then these seem about the going rate. Just post up a guide as to what you want prior to a trade in would be my advice. Nick

Try Dave Lale of Classic Carbon. https://classiccarbon.co.uk/pages/contact-us Not sure if he makes them yet but he will probably make you one but will need a template to mould it. Nick

Sounds very nice, good luck with the sale.

I thought the rules were to give a price?

I have Hispec Ultralite 4s with standard disks and Mintex 1144 pads and standard rear brakes and the same pads as Chris Alston. Car seems balanced and is fine for roads round here and on track. I have the updated master cylinder. My car is light at 460kg. I agree with Chris that the car is ok on standard calipers, I just wanted the far lighter weight of the Ultralites to save on unsprung weight. I have heard from posts saying that on overseas trips where there are loads of hairpins etc the Hispecs do not perform and I suspect this is probable true and vented disks and bigger 4 pot calipers would likely work better but for most of us it is not usually needed. As for HiSpec customer service, I have heard stories and again cannot comment as I had no issues although my dealings with them were quite a while ago but HiSpec have been used on the Levante and other cars so they must be doing something right.

Tony recently sprayed my nose in Lotus Lava Orange(pearl), same colour all over, £80. He even fitted new dzus fasteners. Sprayed some wings for a local owner to me, metallic green, again £80 per wing. Nick
