The oil and coal industries have used the same playbook that worked so well for the tobacco industry. First your own research confirms or predates public warnings about your product, then you mount a coordinated campaign designed to fuel doubt and skepticism and then to ensure public policy doesn’t interfere with your bottom line you bribe the necessary officials. What they knew: https://insideclimatenews.org/project/exxon-the-road-not-taken/ https://insideclimatenews.org/news/22122015/exxon-mobil-oil-industry-peers-knew-about-climate-change-dangers-1970s-american-petroleum-institute-api-shell-chevron-texaco/ https://insideclimatenews.org/news/05042018/shell-knew-scientists-climate-change-risks-fossil-fuels-global-warming-company-documents-netherlands-lawsuits/ https://www.sciencealert.com/coal-industry-knew-about-climate-change-in-the-60s-damning-revelations-show Deception: https://www.sciencealert.com/peer-reviewed-study-shows-exxonmobil-misled-the-public-on-climate-change-for-decades https://www.ucsusa.org/sites/default/files/attach/2015/07/The-Climate-Deception-Dossiers.pdf Follow the money: https://www.nationofchange.org/2017/05/02/climate-deniers-congress-received-80-million-dirty-money/ https://www.americanprogress.org/issues/green/news/2021/03/30/497685/climate-deniers-117th-congress/ https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1TYQoJ0JJ22a8Rq4AbW0kKmuEfeALM2oExVyCj41714Y/edit#gid=0 https://dc.cod.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1691&context=essai

The spade connectors look like they are for the horn. The toggle switch maybe for a flash to pass the headlights.

Any white smoke or sweet smell out of the tailpipe? Bubbling in the coolant indicates a possible head gasket leak, try running the engine with the radiator cap off or look the overflow tank if you have one. Do you have any smell of coolant in the crankcase oil? How old is the coolant? Coolant loses its corrosion qualities over time. Distilled water used? A flush and refill can’t hurt. I’d take the radiator to a shop for cleaning instead of an off the shelf chemical flush. I’d do a cylinder compression check and pressure check of the cooling system, the chain car parts places might have loaners, before pulling the head. If you get the Mallock out this year let me know what your schedule is, I have some polish and transmission fluid left over from my car you can have.

There was a similar event in Japan but so far no info on Miatanet about how many cars showed up or pictures. After using Laguna Seca for the last 10 years of the reunion a location change is coming for 2020.

I used saw horses when I built mine https://www.homedepot.com/p/Stanley-32-in-2-Way-Adjustable-Folding-Sawhorse-2-Pack-STST60626/203799620 Used them until I had the suspension installed and then set it on the ground with the help of 3 friends and finished the build using jack stands.

Caterham UK shows a US spec light https://caterhamparts.co.uk/indicators/891-indicatorrunning-light-usa-spec.html This looks similar https://www.kitspares.co.uk/index.php?route=product/product&path=_13&product_id=1019&car=

I am assuming that your system is the same as what I had with my SVT engine. If the noid light is showing the injectors not working I don’t think you have a fuel pressure issue but a problem with the the anti theft system.In the picture I attached is a wire hanging from the dash with a black plastic ring attached. In a Ford the black plastic ring was around the ignition cylinder in the steering column and it picked up a signal from a chip in the key that disabled the anti theft system allowing the injectors to fire. What Caterham USA did was to tape the chip to the ring and stuff it under the dash making it susceptible to picking stray signals and shutting off the injectors. It should be forward of the shifter. Try to isolate /insulate it it from the surrounding wire. Move it to a different location or what I did was wrap it metal tape. I don’t think there is a fuel pump relay, power goes from the fuse through the inertia switch to a fuel pump control module under the center armrest. The control module turns the pump on and off as required.

Maybe it is coating used to seal rusty tanks, if so it might be time for a new tank.
