This is a video showing #howto remove the #differential in a #caterham #seven
I'm not a mechanic or expert in any way, but I believe this is the right way to remove the diff. I know owners that have removed the diff this way.
Here is a link to my shop:

Lots of choices for magnetic trays on Amazon or Ebay but this is what I have. I find them really helpful and I use them a lot. I leave them on my white board as its magnetic and / or my racking.
Round magnetic trays from EBay:

Wow,,, that's taking maintenance up a notch....

@ACaterhamCalledFern 5 месяцев назад

Hey Bert How are you? It was alot easier than I thought and hopefully this video will help others. I've got some interesting videos coming soon 😉

@gavinivers8941 3 месяца назад

To help when cracking of cap screws that have Locktite on it, heat the area with a soldering iron as this will help. ( it starts to break down at 150c ) The callipers with the hand brake are a pain as you have to screw into piston into the calliper body, not push in as you do on the fronts.

Thanks that's a good tip.

I am French, I am writing to you using Google translate. too bad we don't speak the same language because you could have helped me. I own a 2014 roadsport with an open differential. I'm looking for an LSD for mine, but I can't find any reference on the internet for a BMW Caterham LSD. I am a little lost. I really want to make this modification, but I can't find any information on the internet. anyway thank you for your videos. I'm looking forward to the next ones on LSD. have a nice day Damien

Really helpful!

@ACaterhamCalledFern 5 месяцев назад

Hey thanks. It was alot easier than I thought it would be. It would have been easier with a video like this. Hopefully this video will help some other owners.

I’ve been really enjoying your channel. I was initially after a Westfield but think Caterham would be a safer bet. It might be interesting doing a video on your ownership of fern. How long you’ve had it, what it’s like having it as an only car, what breakdowns or issues you’ve had. What the owners club scene is like, What getting spares etc is like. Things a potential owner like myself would wish to know.

@ACaterhamCalledFern 5 месяцев назад

Hi I'm glad you are enjoying my channel. If you are unsure my advise would be to test drive some different cars and ask owners what their experience has been like. I've been working on a video for a while which would answer all of your questions but it's not finished yet. The dream was always a Caterham for me personally and the Caterham community is amazing. The best car community I've ever been involved in. Here are some links to a couple of videos which partly shows what the Caterham community is like.

Great, thanks very much. I’ve seen the Fish and Chip shop run videos. That looks a great day/weekend

Hi James, I replaced my failed Titan with a new open diff. I would be interested to know how noticeable driving with a LSD is and how it feels.

@ACaterhamCalledFern 5 месяцев назад

Hi there will be more information in a future video, but I got my Titan rebuilt with different plates which should mean that it lasts longer. It was really interesting seeing the parts that had failed in my LSD. The track days I've done so far have all been done with an open diff, so I will be interested to see how the LSD compares on track. There are a few options for diffs in Caterhams which depend on your budget.

Purple power. Hold a car together that would!

@ACaterhamCalledFern 5 месяцев назад

Ha ha it sure would 🙂I think I should be sponsored by duck tape and have a life time supply of purple 💜 it is the strongest colour after all 🙂

@Caterham81 5 месяцев назад

I just did that now. Not a nice job on a Caterham.😅 What kind of differential lock did you install? greetings from Germany😎

@ACaterhamCalledFern 5 месяцев назад

Hi I was surprised how easy it was to do. I've got my Titan rebuilt, but I'll show more in a future video.

@Caterham81 5 месяцев назад

@@ACaterhamCalledFern My Titan was completely destroyed. The Titan can't handle the power of a 485 for long. I have now installed one from limitedslip from Germany.

@ACaterhamCalledFern 5 месяцев назад

@@Caterham81 I went to a company called road and race who rebuild diffs. They can put lots of different options in the case. There will be a video soon showing this. I found it so interesting being there and I also asked lots of questions.

Hi you can buy them from Caterham, but here is a website to where I went to get my lsd rebuilt. They rebuild lots of diffs for Caterhams as well as other car makes. You can post your diff to them and they would be able to replace your open diff with a LSD. There is more than one choice. www.rrtransmissions.com/
