My Seven

Great looking ride. Must travel like a dream.

You have one fine looking Westy. The color is great. With the high power of this car, do you have much wheel spin with these tyres? What is your track tyre pressure?

You need to check the horn relay and the horn fuse. Robert

Hello: Will this unit below,work with my small standard Caterham 7 Steering wheel? Any experience with this unit or other model that will work with my car.

For rear wings, did the Fenders-N-More company make models to fit a stock style 1996 Caterham? I want rear wings with the stock mounting holes. Were your front wings the polished stainless? What sources are current for carbon fiber wings, nose cone & half doors? Which company makes the better quality carbon products? Can I use carbon fenders & nose from a Birkin on my 1996 Caterham? Thanks, Robert

Things I have checked, yet, still over heating. 1) Is there any loss of coolant when the temp is high? NO Are either or both of the radiator hoses hot when the temp gauge says high temp? If the hoses are not hot there is likely no coolant flow. Hoses are hot. 2) Check for coolant flow by removing the thermostat, and running the engine with the radiator cap removed. If there is flow the pump is likely good. Flow is there with cap off. 3) With the radiator cap removed examine the coolant. Are there bubbles in the coolant. If so it would indicate that there is a blown head gasket. No Bubbles 4) Remove the temp sender and place it in boiling (or as close to boiling as possible) water while powered up and connected to the car. Does the gauge read correctly? Have yet to do. Other items??? There is an S.P.A. Oil Cooler in front of the radiator. Should this be hot if the water radiator is hot? It is not hot. The car came with an Accusump 2 quart Electric Pressure Accumulator with Moroso 23907 12-Volt Solenoid Pressure Valve Kit. Thanks, Roberto

I removed the thermostat, replaced with a new gasket. Started the engine, again over heated to the red zone in 5 minutes. I will order a new water pump to replace the present one. That sounds like the problem. Thanks

Problem, my car has started to over heat after going over a speed bump at 20 miles per hour. Under side of car not damaged. My Caterham is a 1996 build with a 1700 Ford Crossflow Supersprint. 4 speed. Milage: 2,700 The car has just started to over heat. Goes two blocks, temperature is in the red. There is a small hose off the left top side of the water pump going to a fitting that is blocked on the top of the Weber Carb manifold. Is this hose ever functional on this 1700 engine? The car has no heater. The small hose may have been for a heater?? I drained & replaced the anti freeze with no difference in temperature readings. Fan comes on if the sending unit is jumped. The thremastat does open when hot. I jacked the front of the car up, Compression the radiator hose to check for an air trap. Does not help the over heating. What reference sites address this problem? What is the model reference for this engine to purchase the valve cover gasket & water pump & blue hoses?? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your help. Roberto
