Today i have sent the car back to caterham for the 1000 mile service and to have the paint work which was damaged by the brake fluid leak fixed.
Because of the issue with the build manual Caterham are doing the paint under warranty, and thankfully they are also looking at the powder coating of the chassis to make sure that is not damaged too.

In the mean time i have received my MSA pack and am busy studying for my ARDS test, so at least i have a distraction whilst teh car is in for repairs.

I also need to look at the Race class rules and familiarise myself with those too.

About a week ago i had a letter from Caterham racalling the rear brake calipers because of a failure on the IVA test. I am told that the Calipers were not of the standard that is requried by Caterham, and could cause impalance between the two rear wheels in some cases (my interpretation from a conversation).

Fairly easy to do, ~I changed the rear calipers very quickly, it is basically draining the fluid, two bolts for the caliper, the brake pipe nut and of fitting and then filling and bleeding the brakes (all 4 of them)... simples !!!!

So i have got my new calipers and have today changes them,  and put them on the car... now it is time to test them ... Wish me luck !!!

post script - I have had a couple of chats with people who have had thier kits recently and the guys i have spoken to have been told that they have been provided with calipers which do not have the problem my batch had .... but it is always worth checking if you are not sure.
