    Engine Options for SER3 LWB?

    is there a 6 pot issue to do with prop shaft lengths, due to the motor being longer / mounts being in different places? looking at doing this conversion, and didn't realise the bell housing was different too, so will need that as well then.... maybe I'll sort the 6 pot out and keep that as...

    2.6 noise levels, mpg and top speeds?

    nope, I was simply asking a reasonable question about the capabilities of a vehicle I've never owned before. most people seem to have realised that and were helpful.

    insurance fun with 'modified' series 3 - help!

    Lancaster are completely OK with it (Delta cherished car policy), but Chaucer (through swinton) have now said they won't cover it due to the modifications - after I paid, and I clearly stated it was a now 3 door station wagon! Looks like a big hassle now to get my money back :(

    Hiya!

    All I've got to do now is sell my old civic and my kit car, 3 vehicles and an average mileage of less than 3k is probably a bit daft!

    2.6 noise levels, mpg and top speeds?

    That's cleared that up then! I'll call the insurance and get them to change it, along with all the other mistakes they made on the forms... I'm on gas, and don't do a lot of miles, so not too worried about the mpg, the noise I can live with too, but will look into an overdrive for a bit more...
