Like most things it will get sorted eventually, and then you will hopefully have most of the summer to enjoy it. Lesson learnt, don't buy a kit from Caterham, but you have probably already decided that anyway. Sad that Caterham is operating in this way
It seems that all the independent Seven places are picking up plenty of work as they all seem to offer the service Caterham can't. Had a fantastic morning at Boss Racing with lots of other 7 owners, brilliant service, loads of knowledge and detailed expertise. Once you have got the car up and running then there is a great deal of choice in the south and really once out of warranty you should never need to deal with them again:
Boss Racing
Automotive Engineering
Redline
Atree Autos
PGM
James Whiting
Tech 7
Ratrace
To name a few. Please don't ask for your money back, you deserve this great car, although Caterham do not deserve any more of your custom.
