Hi Terry Yep got the engine re built she is reliable now . Currently got her off road in storage awaiting the spring sunshine. Your Sr2 looks great and your 2nd build to boot, looking forward to seeing her. We will have to arrange a run out, i would like to get to the South Yorkshire meets but unable to get out anyware on a wednesday. Free most weekends though.

When the weather gets better you can call at your mates and we could have a run out

Ha ha i use Holmfirth as the location as it is the post code. Well spotted.

The last time i posted was back in 2010 when a had a slight hickup at Barkston when the engine let go. Since then the engine was re built and she has been running like a dream. I have not been active on here since then but hope to get out on the odd run in 2013. Photo before she was put into storage. Bring on the spring

John Thank your for the invite but i am still running the car in after i blew it up at the last event. Keep me posted and i will be there next time all being well. Thanks again Dunc

Thanks for a great day it was a well organised event. I also saved fuel by getting a lift on a transporter home. Book me in for the next one, should have the Hood sorted by then. Thanks Taz for the phone call.

Looking forward to Barkstone, the car is ready numbers being sorted today. See you there guys

Cheque in the post today

Thank you for your post.

Thank you for your post i will give then a ring.

Has anyone got any suggestions as how to lift the rear of the car? the rear wheels catch on the wheel arches when driving with a passenger at speed over bumps. The car is fitted with std shocks and rear coil springs in good condition, just passed MOT. Is there a good shock that could replace the existing shocks that would lift the car.

Please can you book me in for this one. Number 20 would be nice. YOUR IN Thanks Dunc

Over the last few years I have undertaken various track days with my track day bike. However I would like take my S7 on track or hill climb. I use Focused events for my track days and find them to be great. Focused Events also offer car track days, but are there any other events specifically for the Hood, Caterham makes of cars.

Thanks Dave Will try Halfords today

Hi all My Oil warning warning light sensor has got a pinhole in it and oil is being forced out of the engine. Has anyone got one i could purchase please.

Top quote that made me lol

The best lobster in the uk comes from whitby always worth the time and effort. anyway any excuse to get the S7 out for a run.

Had a great run thanks, tested the all weather gear out on the way over it was pishing it down, the weather cleared and was great, lobster purchased drove back in the sunshine topless.

Well I am a very happy bunny today, got the hood back on the road after the engine replacement. She is running like a dream. Lets hope the mild weather holds out and I can get it out for a run or 2. Thinking of having a run over to Whitby tomorrow to get some lobster.

All things being equal i was due to get the car back this weekend. However its looking like next week now. Sometimes its best not to rush things. Anyway it should be running spot on when i get it back. Dunc

Hi Terry Thank goodness you found it when you did Dunc

Electrics found to be ok. The cylinder head gasket had blown between cylinder 1 and 2.
