    Newbie to landie's wanting some help...

    If you can weld, have time and also mech. knowledge, nothing should really put you off! Most parts are cheap and everything can be rebuilt on SIII's. IIa is IMHO a better bet as it seemed to be built to a slightly higher 'spec' - bellhousing is stronger (friend ran a 280 bhp IIa through standard...

    S3 conversion, what engine should i use?

    Friend who did this reckons it's pretty good. Have to disagree with Teflon on 4203 through standard Landy 'box - got a 4203 in a vehicle and it's worked since day one (mot'd, taxed and run flat oot @50 mph) - has been trialled, used as farm vehicle (shunting sh**e) and never fails to start...

    Brake problems

    Also bulging hoses can give a spongy feel -Goodridge or local hydraulic hose manufacturer if you want to pay real prices - if master cyl leak, pedal will 'sink' (but no fluid loss - press pedal (engine no need started) and if it sinks (but no fluid loss) you have a leak back past m/cyl seal.

    body kit SIIa

    Bonnet scoop off a WRX, Cossie teatray and twin-DTM tailpipes? seriously, though, front of my 100" was modded by filling rad recess with panelling bent to same curvature as wings and a strange aluminium 18x12 slotted "tray" covering part of rad (had volvo 264/5 radiator fitted) - made it look...

    Series 3 Problems

    Oh - I have a 4203 in a SIII and throttle cable operated - done when I got the vehicle but it works fine - will take photos and email if you want. IIRC 'full throttle' on a 4203 seems to be about 2250 rpm anyway ;)

    sales/ exchanges

    Being from AyburrDEEn and therefore more likely to take the good name in vain than spend money, can I suggest the 'window sticker' I had made? - on the front of my 220bhp 100" (90 front end) it said (reversed) "Get The Fu*k Out Of My Way!" ? Courtesy costs nothing but an Aberdonian who wants to...
