A big sorry for taking so long in replying to your hi.......I have finally sat down to see how things work on here. I still have a the same landy despite almost giving up on her in recent weeks!!

Ahhh, the Pinzgauer does seem to be a chip off the old forward control block, shame, Natalie Portman in the back of a forward control.....98 things to before I die!!!

I watched the Thor movie last night and I'm sure the nice looking 4x4 Natalie Portman was driving in was a forward control! Yes/No??

Sorry use the car every day, will have to get the garage to sort this one out!!

You're right V8jon, looks like 3" on the back and 2" on the front, i'm looking around to find some shackles to reduce it by the 1 1/2 you mentioned.

Thanks V8jon, will check it out to see if they are on there.

Slowly fixing things up on my S3 Safari, noticed that that it has Rocky Mountain parabolics,problem is its touching the 2 metre mark and only found out yesterday after scraping the crap off of the roof. Is there any way of reducing the height with out removing the parabolics. I have put R16...

Took aday off from the s3 and then this evening did some more checks, twisted the magnetic reader/collar into place rather than pushed it and put a slight twist into the rotor when placing that back. The cap felt the same when in place but..........start it up and no wobble. Taking it to the...

It looks to me its the cap, there was a plate that screws into the base plate and then the 'magnetic reader' screws into that. Measured the main rotar arm hight with the magnetic collar on it and with out and there seems to be only 1mm difference in hight. Cap seems tight on, gave the cap clamps...

Got the part took longer to fix up than expected, now running great..... but not happy with the wobble on the dizzy, how much should I expect if at all. Is it save to drive?

Thanks for the heads up 1396midget, I spotted a kit from simonbbc, no extra ballast bits needed. Still slapping my head over buying the britpart before checking.:doh::doh: Hope to have it over the next few days and try again.

Thanks oxides, glade I didn't start taking it a apart! Now to find a dizzy!

:doh: Just about to do the first bit of work on my s3 safari, purchased one of those britpart electroinc points until. Opened up the Distributor and found it is a ducellier. Does anyone know if the britpart will fit?

Sorry about the delays in replying!! Took it out on a long run Sunday, and noted how much better it handled on road in the rain! It seems the tyres are off road tyres and a simple fix is to get on/off road tyres. I was thinking of getting some pucka landi wheels any way. Want to get the old girl...

Thanks for the advise all :), been reading up on landies for a while, I got myself a series 3 safari swb. Not happy with the road holding, mot was only in April so think is could be the tyres/2.5" rised springs. Most of the time I will be on the road. Haven't done much mileage in it yet... but...
