Ive just checked with Paddocks and they were pretty sure that they are the same, so Ive gone ahead and ordered one. Fingers crossed!

Thanks all for your help. I did call Paddocks and a woman said she wasnt sure and then said it should be ok. She wasnt convincing, so I thought I would double check.

Hi all, I need a new exhaust for my 2.25 Petrol RHD lightweight, and just wanted to check that they are exactly the same as for a standard 88". I am just about to buy a full system from Paddocks for around £35, but I thought I'd double check its going to fit. Many thanks Jon

I should start by saying im no expert....! I recently had a problem with my clutch, just like yours. One morning after leaving it for a while, no pedal pressure. Unlike yours, no amount of pumping got the pressure back though. I went for a bleed first, level was bit low in the resevoir...

my god! I went to the auto jumble in Newbury recently in mine, and thought that was bad enough. By the time I got there it was time to come back. I should be grateful for having doors and a roof though I guess!

Hi, I have 2003 4.4 V8 Vogue. 25 to the gallon? thats positively frugal, if I can break 17, I'm doing well. Only problem so far is with the wife / wing mirrors. On a car that does everything electronically, she still felt the need to fold them in with brute force and plenty of ignorance...

Beaconsfield is quite an outing for the old series 3. When the lightweight was going, it felt, dare I say it...fast?...ok, maybe not fast, but nippy. The 2.6 S3, is sooooo slow, i think i need an overdrive, classic diffs, or an ashcroft high ratio conversion before I'll feel like taking it any...

Thats very kind of you, thanks carpy!

Hi all, I'm not totally new here, but never actually introduced myself. I've recently received some good and very prompt help relating to my S3 109", so I'm sure I'll be back here, as there is always something going wrong with these old things!!! Jon

Yes thanks Griff, it worked!! Its been a week or so since so I need to check I still have pressure I guess - thanks for asking. Jon

Thanks for that; it had crossed my mind, but I'm not sure if that would cover a roll of sellotape!?

Hi all, I have just bought a 53 plate L322 with electric folding wing mirrors. The problem is my (current) wife decided she would manually fold them in when she got to the supermarket :mad:. Now they are very free, if you try to fold them electrically they make an awful sound and if you go...

Thanks Doobie, I've done it! The internal diametre of the bleed tube was far too small, so having looked around for something more suitable I came across a gallon of Round Up weed killer with just the right sized tube. Bleed nipple opened fine, and a few minutes later I had pedal pressure...

Hi, The bleed tube only arrived yesterday, but I'm still having some problems. I read somewhere that you bleed the the clutch from the slave cylinder, which you access from inside the cab through an access hole in the transmission tunnel. I can't find the access hole, but having had a good...

Thanks Bill, I've ordered one up, I will be on my own, so probably £3 well spent! Jon
