I'm now in possesion of a lovely metallic grey m400!! Took it for a wee blast before work and i'm absolutely blown away by its performance. I keep forgetting that the loud pedal goes right down!

One word, awesome! Well worth the wait!

Happy days then Iain smile Just remember that when objects coming towards you start to turn blue and those behind start to turn red then it's time to lift off!! laugh I reckon that's 3 x M400s & 4 x M12s in the Aberdeen area now.

Enjoy!

Aye, sounds good to me.

Oh and how unbelievably fiddly is that fuel filler cap when the temperature outside is around freezing and you cant feel your hands!

I know what you mean!

Mind and not overfill it. Let the nozzle click once and leave it at that. you could be all day filling it - only for the fuel to be running out below the filler neck.

The Noble is quicker in reverse than your Caterham is forward.

Iain,

You can adjust the cable through the inspection hatch in the transmission tunnel behind the passenger seat. I'd recommend getting the rear shoes checked first though as mine were worn out on one side nearly down to the metal. It looks as though one side was over adjusted at some point, probably at service time. The rear shoes have individual adjustment done through a hole in the brake disc, so if the're OK slacken off the cable, adjust the shoes at the hub end and then reset the cable.

Cheers

Dave
