    Yet Another Ebay Scammer

    www.ebay.co.uk/itm/222312769753 £5000 for a very smart 90, bit cheap but also has another one 30 miles away and a number of other underpriced campervans all over the country - if it looks too good to be true then it probably is. No doubt the person will hold it for you for a deposit....

    Series 3 Bought an old chassis and now got a letter from DVLA

    The Chassis on my series 3 isnt that great and I bought another chassis with V5 etc. The chassis itself is OK and has got the ID plate etc (not an ID plate and bag of rust) , Now hers the thing - I wouldnt buy a chassis without an ID as there is a risk of it being stolen. But after sending off...

    Front axle swap - 11 inch brake upgrade

    Due to being a tight arse, I have got hold of a complete front axle for my 88 as the old swivels were both corroded and shot and an axle was less than than a single swivel would have cost. The new axle has got 11 inch brakes, my 88 only has a single output master cylinder non servo. Does that...

    Play in swivels - how much is normal

    Having taken off the front axle in order to replace springs, shocks and chassis bushes etc. About ready to put it back on after replacing all the balljoints etc. If I grab the top of the wheel and rock it there appear to be play at the top of the swivel - cluncs a bit and moves about 2 or 3 mm...

    Steering box or relay

    Hi, I have finished refurbishing the rear axle on my S3 and moved my attention to the front. Dropped the front axle off to replace the springs\shocks and track rods etc and have a good look at everything. The swivels are quite corroded so I thought they were causing the heavy steering. I...

    Simple leaf spring question

    i am just reassembling the rear axle back on my s3 after replacing springs, shocks, bushes, brake lines etc... Should the bolts on the leaf springs have washers? The pdf manual didn't show any but I think there were ones fitted when I stripped it down. Was just going to put plain washers under...

    Just a rant about my Series 3 SWB project

    Ever have those days where you start off with all good intentions and the list of "things that need fixing" seem to get out of control... Clutch stuck to flywheel, no probs I think, if I can sort the breaks out I can probably free it up by accelerating and breaking with the clutch depressed...

    Resource for thread sizes...

    More of a general question, I am trying to sort out a series 3 at the moment and I am having fun playing the "what thread am i" game when it comes to rebuilding things, (there were a few bits missing when i got it) Is there a general resource where I can find what bolt \ setpin or nut etc is...

    Howdy doody from a newby, also a dumb leaf spring question

    Hi, I am Rich from south Leicester I managed to get an series 3 SWB 2 1/4 diesel for what I think was a good price ( less than £500 including my delivery costs) so I can do it up and my son can do something other than play on an Xbox \Ipad etc. Just waiting for the documents to come back...
