Try your local motor factors. I bought one from whiston motor factors in st helens for less than 40+vat for my 2.25. Craddocks were cheaper but I couldnt wait for the postage....... :D

Try adrian flux - im 23 with 1 year ncb and I pay 300 tpft on my s3. Edited to say I am in motor trade which doesnt help, car is parked on the road and have told em about the bigger wheels and the snorkel ;) They also quoted me less than 400 tpft on an old v8 classic rangie. Milegae limited...

I am thinking of treating my old s3 to a full repaint. Just wondered if anyone could give me any tips? What is the best paint to use? Has anyone used the little 1.5hp spray compressors? Should I just give up and brush paint it? Its 3 shades of green now (sprayed mainly, door tops are...

Once the box is out its not that long a job. We changed 3rd on my box but I couldnt have done it alone. Probably only took an hour or 2 so to split the box and change 3rd. My only tip is buy a gasket set, I was in a rush to do mine as I was going away. I couldnt get a gasket set in time...

Did you sort the hole out? I did take a pic of the top of my gearbox for you but it was taken on the my other halfs phone so it took me ages to get round to putting it online. See http://www.landyzone.co.uk/photopost/data/500/1189boxtop.jpg Did the bit of tin do the job?

All sorted :D Thanks to the help of silver classic (cheers chris) everything seems to be OK! Few teeth missing off third gear which we replaced and somehow managed to get it all back together. Beats the hell out of £300 to the gearbox people! Thanks to everyone for their advice!

Its near burnley in lancashire. See www.4x4funday.com for details of events and directions! Its great fun and well worth the trip, I have been the last 3 months running and all being well, I will be back next time 2! Cheers, Mike

My box knocks and bangs like hell in 3rd gear. It doesnt jump out, pulls along fine it just sounds like someone is underneath with a lump hammer. The box has always leaked, I hadnt checked it since i last went offroad and having checked since the knocking it was almost empty. :( Gearbox...

Can anyone give me an idea of how much it should cost me for a reasonable (rough is fine) full length soft roof and sticks/hoops for my 1982 88" s3? Oh and does anyhone have one for sale? ;) Thanks, Mike

Me and silver classic are going 2. Im in a green Y reg s3 if anyones about! Hope its on, I had to borrow a carb this evening to get me there!

With a little bit of help from silver classic I sorted my oil leak. Its a good job im not proud or I wouldnt be able to admit that the leak was coming from a leaking galon under the passenger seat! What a prat I am! Ah well, still it was a damn good result. All I need to do now is sort...

Now I am confused 2. Is that a typo or is my gearbox not standard. Mine is the exact opposite. If the red lever is forward and yellow is up that is 2wd and high. If I push the yellow down that give me 4wd high. I pull the red lever back for low which also pops up the yellow. Is my gearbox...

Lol, you having fun then?

I am sure this is a silly question but hopefuly that means i will get a quickish response! I seem to remember reading somewhere that something I would have guessed would take gear oil actually takes engine oil? The reason I ask is I have a leak from somewhere (its everywhere and as yet...

Just a daft suggestion but did you over fill the oil by any chance?

I just bought my first s3. Few teething problems but its getting there! One of the main mags has a buyers guide in it this month, was a fiver well spent. Think its landrover owners or something. I also shoot a bit and have a muddy dog! I would really suggest you drive/ride in one before...

Try adrian flux. They are a broker. I am 23 with 1 years no claims I just insured a series 3 2.25 petrol for £30 tpft.

My series 3 speedo has gone mad. I was sat at 55mph behind the trucks (so I assume it is reasonably accurate) and then it just dropped to 15mph. When I eased off the gas it seemed to pop back up. It waived up and down for a bit and then seemed to go back to normal. Its done this ever...

Posted a few times in the past but finally bought me a land rover. S3 swb 2.25 petrol. Its great! I suppose now I can post with my head held high!? Anyone near me (St Helens) ever fancy a trip out just drop me an email! Cheers, Mike

It has 2 90 axles with 90 wheels and mud tyres. Are these too big? Are they going to hit the arches when im offroad?
