    Another question about ignition lock

    Not sure what year your S3 is, but if you can find some sort of parts compatibility list or even the BL part number to cross reference then I'm fairly sure they must have have used this on other BL products. Can't imagine they designed an ignition lock for just a single model and it might help...

    Special Build SW at Mathewsons

    Apologies if this has already appeared here and I have missed it but just came across unusual S3 this while browsing Mathewsons auction site. Apparently one of three - not quite sure what the middle door achieves but interesting anyways...

    Oil Filter Conversion to Spin On

    Thanks for the various suggestions above - much appreciated. As you say, it seems like quite an expensive fix although I guess its a one time cost - I found something in the US as well at about half the price but not sure if they ship here so waiting to hear back. In the meantime, I put the...

    Oil Filter Conversion to Spin On

    Hi there - its the ring seal that goes between the actual cylindrical filter canister and the housing I am am having trouble with rather than the seal between the block and the filter housing. Both seals just seem to want to twist as soon as the canister bolt is tightened (I'm being careful not...

    Oil Filter Conversion to Spin On

    Hi folks - just about reached the end of my patience today with trying to get the standard oil filter housing to seal properly - both filters (genuine and aftermarket) I have purchased have seals that don't seem to sit in the groove properly and then leak as the canister won't seat correctly...

    2.25 Diesel cuts out when warm

    Some of the replies have mentioned air getting into the system - my thinking would be the opposite and a vacuum or partial vacuum may forming in the lines if a breather is blocked. Vehicle would run ok for a limited number of miles but if no air getting into tank then vacuum forms and pump is...

    Series 3 Tax exempt do's and don'ts

    This might help Vehicles of historical interest (VHI): substantial change guidance (publishing.service.gov.uk) You are fine with chassis swap plus other proposed changes are arguably "safety related". Power steering might be a moot point but realistically, is anyone actually ging to check?? I...

    Series 3 Electronic Ignition 123- vs- Britpart

    To be fair 109SeriesIIA, my comments were kind of tongue in cheek - I'm reminded of how "not perfect" the old NA diesel is every time I hit the incline to home. As far as "living under a rock" - well, running a fleet of 24 diesel vehicles ranging from tractors to combines to pickups and trucks...

    Painting and Cutting Back

    Mine is same colour and the previous owner hand painted it and has done a decent job - obviously a more patient man than me!. I did the wheels in Limestone last year and hand painted those with three coats - the brush quality makes a big difference to the end result I found having ditched one...

    Canvas supplier?

    Not the hoop frames but I purchased a set of their raised seat belt brackets/anchor points a couple of years back so that I could remove the hardtop during the summer. Well made, and holes all in the right place to match existing ones on the tub, galvanising is good too, so hopefully their hoop...

    Series 3 or not?

    I'm no expert but there is nothing Series 3 about that apart from the reg. as far as I can see. Either a complete Defender body transplant onto an earlier chassis (if that's even possible?) or a poor attempt to give it an earlier reg for MOT/tax exemption etc. Would be interesting to see...

    benefits of Wide Bore SS Exhaust ??

    Sounds like standard is the way to go then - thanks for confirming my suspicions. Can live without any extra noise for sure.

    benefits of Wide Bore SS Exhaust ??

    Hi folks Just about to replace the full exhaust on my S3 diesel, all standard apart from K&N air filter. Looking a the options, probably going to go with the stainless as the one that was on when I bought it had been replaced not that long before and has rusted through already to the point...
