POST BUILD CHECK
8 When your Caterham Seven is finally
completed and ready for the road it is strongly
recommended that you make use of our Post
Build Check facility. All customers are sent a
free voucher covering the first 3 hours of the
Post Build Check (this is ample time to check a
completed kit, which can be carried out at the
factory in Dartford, at Caterham Midlands or at
one of our approved services agents). The
Seven even in its lowest state of tune possesses
acceleration and cornering abilities far in excess
of most road going cars and it is therefore
extremely important that it is assembled and set
up correctly.
9 We are also keen to ensure that our
customers do not suffer disappointment as a
result of premature component failure due to
incorrect assembly or sub-standard
performance.
10 The Post Build Check therefore includes:
• Inspection of all safety related items.
• Inspection of all operating systems
(Clutch, Gearbox, Axle etc).
• A written report on any matters causing
concern or requiring attention.
• Completion of any agreed warranty work.
• Post Build Inspection Certificate when the
car has passed inspection.
• Check to ensure compliance to SVA
requirements (if required).
11 The inspection will take approximately
three hours and we suggest that you give at
least two weeks notice when booking your car
in. If additional work is required please notify
the Service Manager at the time of booking to
ensure that sufficient time can be made
available. Any additional work will be charged
on an hourly basis.
SINGLE VEHICLE APPROVAL
12 The requirements for Single Vehicle
Approval (SVA) are detailed in Section 17. For
advice or assistance on SVA matters contact the
Aftersales Department.
AFTERSALES
13 To maximise the enjoyment of your
Seven, the safety and integrity of the car must
be maintained by careful adherence to the
maintenance schedules. Further information on
when servicing is required and where best to get
it done can be found in the Owners Handbook
supplied with your car.
DISCLAIMER
The Caterham seven is supplied in kit form and
is supplied for amateur construction.
The builder must assume that all nuts, bolts and
fasteners may be loose and takes the
responsibility to ensure road worthiness.
Sound engineering principles must always be
followed.
A free post build check is available from the
factory or from one of Caterham Cars agents.
If technical assistance is required please contact
the Caterham Technical Helpline.
