Aw thats a shame! I assume you must have lost/left your favorite moisturizer in Estonia or similar? Can't go without it. Not lucked up, just... occupied now. Plus that means I didn't have to spend another year badgering all my friends to borrow a tow vehicle. Maybe next year I'll be towing with something of my own. No miss, we don't really announce or share many pictures, but we have a healthy baby boy that can help hold wrenches in the near future in the endless troubleshooting and tinkering on the 7

Congrats. Don't know how well it's been maintained and what's been replaced but my piece of advice is give all the rubber pieces a good inspection. All the coolant hoses, fuel lines, fuel pump gasket, pan gaskets etc. You also have to pay the picture tax.

What does this look like?

was there a group shot this year?

Caterham Seven 170 - In depth review

Can you take a picture?

I wouldn’t be so quick to jump to that. I have the same key and it doesn’t have a chip. Or at least even if it does that my car doesn’t need the chip. I have copied that key to a metal blank and use it just fine.

The saga continues. I was told that the 15/16in prisoner? or HPC wheel center cap looks the same but is actually different. I believed it but still wanted to double check when my sleuthing of internet pictures lead me down a wrong path Using internet and BaT as a sort of measurement I took a high detail picture of a 15in wheel, overlayed measurements to it and calculated how big the center cap was in as a fraction. Numbers came up optimistic. Further search discovered that there were two types of center caps. One piece monoblock and two piece where the center piece pops in which matches the centers that I own. So when a monoblock example came up on ebay I rolled the dice and ordered it. Bad news for all who are following this. Monoblocks are indeed slightly larger even though they look the same.

I feel like I get to experience what a stroke is like as I read this thread. What year is your 7? Croc answered your scuttle question on first page in detail

I have been using a soft tool bag filled with a towel laid on the floor with a cup centered in there with mild success on an occasional need.

https://www.motor1.com/news/619318/caterham-electric-sports-car-consideration/ https://coverking.com/blogs/blog/caterham-is-launching-two-new-evs https://www.forbes.com/sites/alistaircharlton/2022/10/31/caterham-cars-reveals-plans-for-its-all-electric-future/?sh=5d5025a7376c A hybrid powertrain has already been ruled out because it would add weight, with Laishley saying that having two separate powertrains would be a "horrendous compromise." As far as the EV is concerned, Autocar speculates it won’t hit the road until 2028 or so. In the meantime, the Caterham 7 is sticking with combustion engines even if a sales ban on new ICE-powered cars in the UK will come into effect in 2030 In an ideal scenario, Laishley says the two-seater EV weighs less than 700 kilograms (1,543 pounds) and delivers what he refers to as a 20-15-20 performance. What he means by that is you get 20 minutes of spirited driving around a race track on a full charge before juicing up the battery for 15 to have another go for 20 minutes. If Caterham can't deliver this with an electric counterpart of the Seven, the company's boss says it’s not even worth launching the vehicle. The US is a key future market, where the Seven is now permitted to be registered under the country’s ‘Show & Display’ car registration law. This allows cars that are “traditional or technically significant,” like a Caterham Seven, to be imported and driven up to 2,500 miles annually. Laishley says work on an all-electric Seven is well underway, although none of the company’s circa 500 annual customers has asked for one just yet. More notably, he added that the company is currently working on an all-new, all-electric coupé to be sold alongside the battery-powered Seven. Laishley gave a more elaborate description, almost drawing the car’s sketch using words only: “It will be prettier and more modern than a Seven – those will be big points of distinction – and maybe it will have a roof. We're designing it as a pure EV from the start, with rear-drive only, and it will be registered under SVA rules,” Laishley said. [i] “This will definitely not be a Seven,” he added. “But it'll have all the characteristics today's Caterham customers know well: lightness, simplicity, agility, and performance. Like the Seven, it will have a steel space frame (but a different one) because they're easy to modify in production if you need to. It will have a six-panel enveloping body in aluminum or carbon: two sills, two doors, plus clamshell openings front and rear.”

If all else fails, throw carbs on it.

By the pictures it appears you have a stock Ford ECU. I typed your numbers in quick and got a google hit for an eBay ECU without looking further into it "YRF0 ecu" "2u7a-12a650-fya" https://www.ebay.com/p/1629665055 With that said, I'm not familiar with how the passive anti theft (re PATs) would interfere or whether somebody flashed or programmed the stock ECU. Quick google searches for PATs make it seem like it's a more recent feature/use. Do you have more information on the original built of the vehicle? Has it been working fine for you before? If you swap one ECU with identical one, I'm not sure if PATs would be non the wiser. Plus seems like a system you should bypass regardless. Pectel has been bought by Cosworth and all the support is through Cosworth website now. But I don't believe this matters in your case. Also who's the "we" who determined the ECU being dead and how certain is "we" on that before you start going down potentially a wrong path. Do you have spark? Does fuel pump turn on? Your ECU has a US patent but you're saying it was made in France? I see you have the stock Ford fuel kill switch on your car too on the firewall, make sure that it's not activated. What year is your 7?

8 spoke and 10 spoke have different offsets even for same 6.5in wide rim? News to me. Might be a solution to my fitment dilemma.

Score! You have quite an array of cars. To the point I don't envy it. I'm happy I narrowed down what I like to a very small list of cars and bikes.

Is this a stock ECU or a standalone such as a Pectel?
