At last it starts!

Well caterham have had the car since just before the Easter break I was getting frustrated that they had not been able to start the car, The ECU had been removed and sent down to the factory to be checked and was tested with no faults found re-fitted it still did not start(or so I was led to believe), After a new ECU was fitted and extended cranking it has drawn the fuel and fired up! It looks like the original ECU would turn the crank but wouldn't draw fuel through.

I'm so pleased that at last the car starts and also my z number has come through and an IVA test has been booked for next thursday, I might have have car back next weekend , I can't wait.

And off it goes

The garage is empty! It feels rather strange with the car not there, As today it was collected by caterham for it's post build check and IVA test. Along with a list of items that need sorting mainly down to either not having the correct parts or parts not fitting but nothing to serious. I think the main thing is the rear axle which is to be replaced due to the top hat brackets not being welded in place to mount the brake line, I ran out of time with trying to start the car which I was really looking forward to doing but I'm just going to have to wait until it comes back for that. I suspect may be the ECU either way just a bit beyond my abilities to sort out.

Out of the garage for the first time. Just rolled it out getting it in position to push it up the ramp was easier than i thought, Mainly due to it's lack of weight.

All loaded up.

The caterham van and trailer I'll be pleased to see it again soon I hope with the car all ready to drive, I can't wait.
