You're probably quite right!!!! - never gonna' happen :)

Thank you! Yes initially it will be oily rag type restoration to get it running and moving - regardless it would only be restored as it should be. You can only get originality once!

Thanks both. I'm yet to get the car home, awaiting quotes from Shiply. in the meantime, here's a couple more pics which I took yesterday. Needless to say, I cant wait to get the spanners out!

Hi all, I went to view this S3 yesterday and bought it. Unsure exactly what I've got in to! :) It's totally original, 3 owners and 19,000 miles. Other than a cross member 22 years ago, it's never been welded and appears to have a very sound chassis which needs a handful of small repairs and a...

Excellent advice - and really appreciated. To be honest I know I've taken a big punt and from what you've said, I'm interested to see what happens! If Ferry could let me know any measurements it would be much appreciated - and maybe I can pass them on. It does however seem the box I've bought...

Thank you! I'm told the box was out of a stolen/recovered 05 Disco TD5 - of which he used the engine in his with the existing manual box. He's a really nice chap actually and has suggested a friend who's going to fit it for me - so would seem a bit odd if it turns out not to fit?! Will have...

Hi guys, Many thanks for your replies - I really appreciate it. Yes - the original box has been run low of oil due to seal failure, driven and has cooked as a consequence! I've purchased the '05 box now (as I didn't want to miss out and figured it's worth the money regardless). - Robert, I...

Hi all Its been while since Ive been here but have today returned to Land Rover ownership. Ive bought a 2001 TD5 which has a duff Autobox. Can anyone advise if any Disco TD5 box will fit this car since I have found a good '05 box (minus the ECU). The guy selling it is a nice chap who may be...

thanks for the replies. The Titanic (as we called it) has now risen. The fault codes were all cleared yesterday and it was showing no faults. It still however would not rise. My freind whipped of the pump to test the pressure and thought that he's disassemble it. He cleaned it all up...

Thanks Rewmer :cool: I will give him a buzz tomorrow. If anyone can help me today (perhaps with the loan of an EAS Kicker) pls give me a buzz O759OO26341 and I'd make sure that there'd be a nice bit of beer money in it of course. G.

Firstly, thank you for your replies. I will try that on the windows! :) The car had a duff battery when I bought it, and has had batteries on/off over the last 2.5 months since ownership. Basically I bought it and it has sat in my friends yard waiting to be fixed for 2.5 months ...until I...

Hi guys, I have an ongoing EAS fault on my P38. I have a hard fault "Slow 35MPH" and "EAS Fault" on dash. (Info display also shows various windows not set or something). As from Friday, I now have the "EASUnlock" application, the bespoke OBD2 lead and Serial Adaptor - However I think my lead...

I had LPG in a 406 Pug - Yes the fuel was half the price, however I found it used twice as much!
