I have just installed a split charge system in my S3 (mainly to power external lights and with an inverter for occasional power tools around the farm). Went for the T max kit sourced from Craddocks - obviously more expensive at £90 than just a relay (although I think they do a straightforward...

Mine is in the centre of the dash directly centred above the panel that would house any auxillary gauges. Not mine but good images here: https://dillydiary.com/2015/11/06/electrics-dash-and-plan-of-action/img_20151022_134744482/

These guys seem to have a decent range of Smiths gauges - not actually used them but came across them when looking for similar gauges. Went for a cheap and cheerful set from one of the kit car companies in the first instance as a trial and error set so I could work out how best to get them...

Now you've got me started: https://tuff-trek.com/product/tuff-trek-tta1-awning/ Might give you some ideas. Not sure what engine you have but I'm pretty sure my 2.25 NA diesel would be seriously slow(er) with the extra weight and drag from the box on top, another reason why I reckon the...

There is a ton of stuff on YouTube covering this - even if it's not Series 2 specific the basics will be the same - haven't put links as there really is a shed load of stuff on there. Lots of it from US, SA and Oz where it's maybe better to get off the ground due to the wildlife etc. I'm just...

Just spotted this - I'm down at Stannington and would be up for some local green lane stuff. Joined the NERO after I bought mine in Jan this year but they seem mainly into trials and I want to keep my S3 fairly standard.

Thanks for the reply - I think that one might be used for the heater take-off pipe on mine -would that be correct?. All the other hex heads in that area are head bolts as far as I can see. PS - Looks like you are local to me - I'm just up near Morpeth.

Hi folks Just acquired a 1982 S3 Diesel (Marine Blue, galv chassis, overdrive etc) and wanted to install some extra gauges to keep an eye on things - oil pressure, water temp and voltmeter. Before I go ahead, thought it was worth asking those in the know if there are any specific/obvious places...
