Hi Guys!

Just bought a 1995 Caterham 7. It runs a Minister tuned 1.4 K-series engine with the apollo anti cavitation tank system. What oilfilters do you use/recommend? And what size of washers do I need for the Apollo tank?

Also - I would like to have the cambelt changed, but can see that there are more than one kit for the 1.4 K - how do I know which kit I should buy?

Third - is there some kind of repair/service manual available, which you can recommend?

Thanks for any help. I am new to this, and hope that my questions does not apear too silly.

Heres a few pics BTW:

hi you can use the manual for a rover 214/216 for the engine and the build manual for the rest of the car. Search blatchat on any subject for a seven and you will get an answer. I use genuine rover filters bought from main dealers on ebay, they work out very cheap. Otherwise a brand filter like mahle or whatever from a motor factor is good. The cam belt will be a cdu2749 I would have thought. Thats a narrow belt with a manual tensioner. Get a tensioner while you are at it.
