2012 - the year of learning

One of the draws of owning a Caterham is the ability to work on it yourself, making it a truly budget oriented car to own. From my own perspective, I don't have  lot of mechanical knowledge yet, but part of the deal I made with myself in owning two cars is to make it affordable. Paying high hourly rates for servicing on two cars just isn't on, so after fixing the seriously under-performing handbrake and failing to diagnose why the horn has died, the first on the list of proper "to dos" is a basic oil change (think I can manage this...).

In order to insure against terminal stupidity, I've ordered the Haynes Manual for the Rover 214 and 414 (princely sum of £2.80 from Amazon), with which I share an engine and I shall also be employing the rather excellent guide from A.R.S.E. or Alcester Racing Sevens Equipe, if you prefer.
