Hi Chaps, I've been searching for some technical data concerning the changes made to the S3 4spd box during it's production life..... Does anyone have a data sheet that they could reproduce etc... I ask as there is lots of 'pub talk' about which suffix box is stronger than the other, or that the...

OK, I haven't posted for ages, even though I was active in the alt.fan.landrover hay days of the late 90's, that newsgroup seems VERY quite nowadays...... Old ETH is getting a make over next summer where I intend to replace the safari back with a truck cab. Does anyone have one to hand that I...
