New gearbox casing? Ouch.
Did DPR send it to Road & Race transmissions?
P.S. No offence but what fun is a mechano set if you send it to somebody else for fixing? Get yer spanners out man!
I got them to fix the gearbox as if only just got the car and just wanted to drive it as soon as possible! Also, I prefer tinkering to actually doing the proper stuff Did DPR send it to Road & Race transmissions?

And yes, road & race did the gearbox rebuild. 5000 (road) miles done since then and it's brilliant.
Phil and Keith at Road and Race used to do Caterham gearboxes and diffs for my Dad and I and more recently has done some work on my Dad's Lotus Elan gearbox, always done a great job. I was there once and they had several brand new never fitted Caterham 6-speed 'boxes in for stripping and rebuilding for DPR R300s- they had some issue from factory whereby one of the nuts could loosen itself and bugger the shaft / casing pretty catastrophically.
Hi,
you got an absolute beauty there. I am currently in the process of configuring my 485 S/R. And I am trying to figure out which is the exact color you have. You wrote Mexico Blue, unfortunately I dont find that in the Caterham option list. My dealer said, yours could be Riviera Blue. Do you have any other inside?
Riviera Blue:

Also I am wondering how the blue will look on a SV like the one above because I am probably in for the SV as well. I feel some colors work great on the S3 chassis and not so much on the SV
Looking forward to your feedback,
Cheers,
Steffen
