Haha, i don't care if they like ours, I met a ex caterham owner out side my house while I was working on mine and he stopped to have a chat about it seemed nice. At the end of the day were all car enthusiasts

http://www.donington-park.co.uk/events/car/caterham-60th-anniversary-festival/10246/#event would anyone be interested in this its only £16 for the day thought it might be good

Well hopefully you lot can get your cars sorted, we could make a run of it, meet up then go down as a group

Is anyone interested in going to the cars and coffee meet at GBS on the 25th March http://www.greatbritishsportscars.co.uk/events-2/

Thanks guys

How much would you normally expect to pay for somthing like this never had to have anything like this done before.

I was wondering if there was anyone local that could have a look at my pinto on bike carbs (Leicestershire) I could come to you if it helps, i get a back fire through one of the carbs sometimes which I know can be caused by running lean but have no idea how to set these things up properly. Also the engine runs smoothish but seems to have a blip every so often so not sure if it's a timing things or just down to the carbs not being quite right. Any help would be great

Should be there with the misses

Thanks I'll see how mine compares and get some metal on order I think

Florin have you got any pictures please.

I was looking for ideas on whether to re-make or strengthen the original cycle wings on my sierra based s7. on 2 occasions now i have been out for a drive and my cycle wing mount has sheered at the front where it connects to the car, i have heard this is a common fault so not sure if it would be easier to reinforce the original mount or to start from scratch and re design and make new ones. was wondering what other people have done in this situation and any pictures of peoples solutions would be great. free image hosting upload image

We went out two weeks ago up to the peak District with a few other was really good day, even had a bit of snow was really cold but wrap up warm and few stops off for a hot drink did the trick.and iv not got a windscreen image upload no resize

This is the text copied from the events page on Facebook for a run out that's been organised for the 12th February if anyone was interested in going, there is currently 9 people down for going. Hopefully some of you would like to join us for the day. Next Group meeting / Blat arranged for the 12th is now on the events page all the details are there....However I will just post it here too.

*Update* So managed to get it out removed the master cylinder and moved the steering shaft made just enough room, for some reason I couldn't get the top nut of the engine mount to loosen it was on there good and propper. But have a bigger problem now I have got a massive split in the pipe where it is welded

Can you undo the master cylinder from the servo without leaking break fluid? Never done it before and don't won't to cause more work for myself if I can get away with it

It's the stupid dog leg bend in the pipe where it goes through the hole in the outer body, all this just to re wrap the pipes.

Unfortunately don't really have the facilities of the skill to move the engine

Just tried to remove the exhaust manifold from my s7 with 2.1 pinto but can't seem to get it out, I think I must be missing somthing is there anything else I need to remove first.any help would be great how to take a screen shot post image online

Or is it black/red flasher relay instead of red?

Thats ok iv think I get ducks (I think lol) just got to figure which wires are what on the plugs in the diagrams I take it the relay in the diagram is the original and not a extra? And I'm guessing you take the red permanent +VE to the first pole of the switch (live in) and the left and right indicator wires to the 2nd pole in the switch (live out) and the brown ground to the 3rd pole of the switch (ground)? Would that be right?

Right on a fresh morning mind I think iv got what I need but need to clarify one thing can't I just connect both indicator positives to one pole? Also could I use a stock Sierra flasher relay as iv got one lying around

Thanks theduck bit more simple for me now do you know which wires from the diagram for the stalk are which for your diagram as there are 2 flasher relay points on the original diagram

Electrics is not my strong point and thought this would be a lot simpler

Could someone give me a simple answer to wiring a switch to replace my worn hazard switch from a Sierra. Iv got a illuminated rocker switch and need to know which wires go to the positive and which go to the negative and which would go to the LED terminal on the switch. Iv added a wiring diagram for the Sierra stalks and the switch iv got,iv also got a couple of diodes to stop feedback. Thanks Indicator wiring diagram: photos upload Illuminated switch: image url upload

I have read a article that the colour does really mean anything now as there are some many different dyes used now that it might not mean the same as it used to
