Can't say I've noticed it breathing heavy. It does smoke on startup and I'm using a semi synthetic 10/40

Hi I've got a S3 2.25 Petrol and it's burning a lot of oil (5 litres in 1500 miles). Not being a mechanic, have any of you guys got any idea what would cause this? it's only done 27K :confused:

Weird!! mine's a 109 and the battery's under the bonnet:confused:

Hi I drive an 82 Series 3 109. After getting used to all the little bangs and whistles she makes there is only one anoyance left. No intermitent wipers!! Do any of you guys know of a solution I can fit so I'm not twiddling the switch every 5 seconds in the drizzle.:confused:

What's my wife doing on the homepage? she doesn't even own a land rover :eek::eek:

I use my 82 S3 LWB as a daily driver, 100 miles/week as she's never let me down. Petrol not cheap though:eek:

Just put a set of 235/85/16's on mine (nearest size match to 7.5/16's). If you're used to the tall tyres, you'll miss them if you go to a smaller size. ;)

I'd send a copy of the reciept if I was you. what has you got to lose? If they don't need it they can send it back:rolleyes:

Thanks 300bhp/ton. Very comprehensive response. Lot to think about:rolleyes:

Hello I'm thinking of swopping the engine in my S3 next year. It's a petrol 2.25 and I need something alot more economical. Anyone know the most suitable replacement (minimum work as I'll have to pay a mechanic:eek:) but wanted something a bit more upto date than the 2.25 diesel. Any ideas?

Hi anyone know the correct tyre pressures for Insa Turbo Rangers. Got them as a wheel/tyre package.:confused:

I call mine "for F*ck sake what now!!!!":eek:

Dumb question, but which direction do you turn the handle?

I the exact same proble with my 82 S3. I even changed all the barrels, but still didn't lock. So, in a temper fit I slammed the door shut and tried one more time. BINGO
