    Competition Master cylinder

    Quoting Pendennis: 
    And it has two circuits (front and rear) with two separate inlets via a common reservoir. In theory if you get a failure in one of the circuits the other should offer some braking.

    A standard master cylinder also has two circuits. I think I'm right in that it is just the cylinder diameter that is different.

    The other thing worth checking is that your tracking is central. In other words, do you have more lock on one side or is one wing catching your light more than another?

    Doesn't look too bad if both lights are just a little bit turned in.

    Quoting Pete Underhill: 
    Apart from correcting the fouling of the indicators, what noticeable difference would there be in handling between standard and wide track on an S3?

    Is it a big job and what does it cost? These last two questions seem to crop up frequently for me.[/pQuote

    Unless you are Lewis Hamilton I doubt you would notice much difference on the road.

    Cost? New upper and lower wishbones. New anti roll bar. New brake hoses. New rack or extensions to existing one. Search the Caterham on line store for prices.

    Quoting Pete Underhill: 
    It's been puzzling me why my front indicator pods seem to turn inward of their own volition. I've not seen cross eyed indicators on any other Seven.

    Tonight, after replacing a disintegrated pod, I found the inner corner of my cycle wings, even before full lock, is touching the black plastic pod and nudging them inward.

    Does anyone else have similar experience and, if so, what witchcraft is required. I've already sacrificed the albino goat on a full moon. That didn't work, unfortunately for the goat.

    They all do that with narrow track. The cure is to go wide track.

    Hi Ahmed

    Sorry. I don't know the size. I have a box of O rings in all different sizes and just offered them up used the ones that fit.

    1mm out of round seems very little. A little persuasion should get it right and a very tight jubilee clip. Are you sure it is not coming from the heater matrix. There are 2 O rings inside the inlet/outlet which have a habit of leaking.

    Quoting SM25T: 
    If it is the ECU fuse .... then there was a tech bulletin from CC to uprate it from 20A to 30A a few years ago.

     

    Not aware of a specific fuse for starter circuit ?

    Agreed.

    Funny you should say that. It was a pre MOT outing. Passed MOT today and brought it to me for a small job. It's done more miles than I thought - 1739 - 200 in last 12 months. What a waste.
