Any problems with fitting 1 Ton spring shackles to an 88 S3? How much lift will it give me? Any problems with Propshafts to short/ Brake lines breaking? Guess I might need longer check straps?

Just wondering How rusty can your bulkhead be, before the MOT man isnt happy? Mines been patched in both foot wells, and you cant actually see through it from inside, but from underneath you can see where the old metal has rusted through?

Just found this; Find LANDROVER SERIES 3 FIBREGLASS BULKHEAD AND WINDSCREEN on eBay within, Land Rover, Classic Car Parts, Cars, Parts Vehicles (end time 22-Nov-07 20:35:30 GMT) I thought the bulkhead was meant to be structural, so fibreglass? Looks like a good idea (no rust etc) but im not...

Just like to add that ive bought a fair bit from Paddocks, and they've given great service every time. Twice now ive forgotten to add the odd seal/window bar to my order, and both times theyve got back to me the same day and added the perfect part so my order has been perfect everytime...

Can Somebody explain what the numbers in the size of the tyres means? All i know is that mine has 16x7.5 Avon Rangemaster on at the moment, which look pretty good. But If I want to get a new set, what is the 3 digit number all about, like "205" etc.???

im gonna sit down with the diagram, and just over estimate everything by a bit, i can always add a bit if i need later. Ive done a gr8 spredsheet for it too! biosbill

Hi, Anybody have any idea how long the lenghts of each wire in the looms of an s3? Getting board, nd im going to re-wire soon, so just wondering about starting the loom, but dont know the lenghts of each wire! Any help would be much appriciated Biosbill

Anybody have any idea of the best way to ship an S3 bulkhead 354 Miles across the uk? How heavy are they? Any couriers that will carry somthing this big? Palletforce? (they delivered 1ton of Granitt Setts, so I guess its not too heavy!)

Just bought a Hard Top for the winter. It needs painting, and im not sure what to do; Do you think Olive Drab green (like the rest of the body) would look ok? Ive got loads of the olive paint, but none of the white, so just thought of painting it the same as the car? Any thoughts?

Sounds like a gd idea, what kind of relay would you use?

Thanks for your help! Hope the spredsheet helped everyone. Will be off now,

What about wiring the invertor straight of the battery, then with another master key to turn that on and off, as have heard that any invertor over (either 180 or 300 cant remember which) should be hard wired in. Anyway, had better be off for tonight, back later!

To add confusion, Wheres the best place to put a battery master key switch, on a Series Landy? Just though might be a good idea? Best place for a power invertor to be hard wired in? Thanks,

Ok, So does doubling the cable mean more power can travel? (IE it wont just melt one of them?) Sorry to ask a stupid question :)

(But will add a bit to each of the lengths) Did think my HLamps might need a bit more. Updated spredsheet, looks like;

Do you think? Im quite suprised? My estimates of a Mtr might be a bit of, but for example cant see me needing more than 1mtr of BR to connect lights in the dash? Thanks for your help

dont know if its the best way of doing it, but I couldnt find anything official on the net. So; Just sat down with my Haynes, and thought about each component, where it is, where it goes to, and how much cable I think it should need. I over estimated by about 1mtr, just so when I order it im...

There we go, table should be attached as JPEG. Hope its not too bad! Hope it helps, Biosbill

Yes thats all included, ive used thicker wire for all the high current stuff. Actually, to get all the colours+tracer colours that would be needed, I had to get a slightly thicker cable through out, costing 0.21p per meter. Meaning the overall cost including terminals (100-200) and some looming...

Just priced up the total cost, of all the wire (using "Auto Sparks" only 19p per meter on thinwall 14.5amp!) and guessing roughly how much of each colour you need, (as obviously some goes between a few gauges, and some goes to all the lights, so the amounts are quite different) And using some...
