no one???

Hello again. I have been replacing my old and not fit for MOT 2.25 engine for a slightly newer 2.25 engine (petrol to petrol). Now the problem starts as my starter motor does not fit any more. I have searched high and low to find a replacement but am pretty stuck. I have been told that...

**** **** **** ebay ****ers..... buying,,,not buying,,,spamming, phishing, bastards... sorry had to put this somewhere ****ERS :violent:

Im feeling christmasy as well :), I'll make you a offer then..... My 1982, 109 S3 in all it's glory (and spare parts) with a ''small'' added christmas bonus.

Nea worries...

I am confused..... are you interested in the S3 or no?

cheers Bob. Might be pos to put on my comp name. I'm always hunting as most of us. Anyone a p/x on the s3 for a 130 or 90 tdi ?

the panels are in a decent state. just the steel under frames of the doors are needing new box frames welded into it, but seen defenders in a more sorry state than mine.

commercial insurance.... No just me and my mad landy loving ideas. Will use it for my outdoor comp as well. As for the state of the s3... leaks oil (about a pint per 1000 miles), cold and wet inside when it rains (but that is just a series thing), heater keeps your legs from getting frost bite...

3500 plus my s3 109......nah the s3 is worth more than that. was thinking more like 2k and the s3, I'll even give a Christmas tree and a bottle of wine with it if you'd like :)

See the listing on ebay has ended. Still want to swap? Got a 1984 s3 safari 2.25p with lots of spare parts. Needs a bit of work as well though. Still got original engine etc :)

sorted it :), got new radio :(, working now connected onto the back of the bat-charger and a new earth lead and 10Amp fuse/switch. Cheers for the help guys

both ideas I will go and check now, cheers :) Finally got round to do it: -direct from bat (via floating fuse) to back of radio and worked for half an hour. (so was wired in through alternator before, cheers Tronicus) Then smoke came from behind the radio as the antenna was slowly melting...

Cheers, but only got 1 speaker connected (as i don't know where to build in/on the rest). But will try a diff radio to see if that helps.

Would the alternator not do that from the start? as i got a few min (various time lengths) of good working order each time I start it up, then the on and of (green back light on radio still working and not pulsing) then stops in full... needs a few min and then back at the start again.
