Caterham service in Yorkshire or nearby

[Neilnorman38]

I have a K series Seven that needs a couple of minor repairs and I am looking for recommendations for garages in Yorkshire. The oil gauge on my Seven needs repairing or replacing (needle doesn’t move) and the rear wheel arch has a split which will need repairing and repainting. An annual service (car has done 11k in total with about 1k in last year) is also required. Looking for recommendations for garage in or near a Yorkshire. Many thanks.

Dave Gemzoe (www.gemzoe.com) is in Wakefield I think... he’s got a wealth of 7-related experience; pretty sure he’d be able to help.

Another recommendation for Dave Gemzoe - just got my car back today and I must say i have been impressed with his eye for detail and the thoroughness of his work. Well recommended.

I'm will also be in the market for such services.

I have used Dave to get a sump welded and he seems like a great chap and wouldn't hesitate to use him for other things. However, he's a bit of a trek for me and has limited space to store cars which limits logistics somewhat.

The oil gauge will no doubt be the sender located on the back of the oil filter housing. It's a really easy fix and you don't need to drain the oil.
Just disconnect the electrical wire from it and unscrew. You may get a couple of drips of oil.

They fail frequently being in the firing line of road debris.

The permanent fix is to fit a mechanical oil pressure gauge, but if you're after a quick swap you'd struggle to find an easier job to do.
